Ten patients with parenchymal acute respiratory failure (ARF) underwent computed tomography (CT) scans while in the supine and prone positions. At equal levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, authors measured changes CT density dorsal ventral basilar lung regions induced by change position as well alterations gas exchange. The level venous admixture did not body position. scan image each was fractionated into ten from to ventral, constituting 10% height. After measuring fraction,...
We obtained chest computed tomography (CT) sections in 12 normal subjects (controls) and 17 patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to investigate regional lung inflation. A basal CT section (just above diaphragm) was supine position at zero cm H2O end-expiratory pressure. In each distance from ventral dorsal surface (hT) divided into 10 equal intervals, levels (no. 1) 10) were defined. Knowing average density volume of level, we computed: (1) tissue volume; (2)...
Free radicals have acquired growing importance in the fields of biology and medicine. They are produced during many different endogenous exogenous processes. Mitochondria main source reactive oxygen species (ROS) at cell level. The overproduction free can damage macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins lipids. This leads to tissue various chronic degenerative diseases. Antioxidants play a crucial role body’s defense against radicals. review concerns properties radicals, their sources...
Determining which facelift technique yields the most effective long-term rejuvenation results and ensures optimal stability over time remains a significant question in cosmetic surgery: Does invasive surgery lead to best outcomes? This study aims evaluate authors' approach using total platysma muscle transection prevent band recurrence, provide anatomical observations supporting justifying their procedure.
Abstract Background COVID‐19 is associated with increased nursing workload, therefore a high nurse‐to‐patient ratio would be required. Aim To analyse difference in as expressed the Nursing Activities Score (NAS), between patients versus control without disease (NCOVID‐19 group) an Italian Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) centre. Study Design Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, enrolling consecutive admitted to general Intensive Care Unit, 1st May 2019 and 28th...
Ocular surface staining for assessing corneal and conjunctival epithelium integrity is typically conducted using fluorescein, lissamine green, or rose Bengal dyes. Recently, a novel vital dye, REmark®, based on riboflavin, has been proposed ocular examination. In the management of diseases (OSD), use contact lenses integral to therapeutic strategies. This study explores compatibility REmark® with four different types disposable bi-weekly soft lenses. Morphological variations observed under...
The aim of this study was to evaluate retinal and choriocapillaris (CC) vessel density, using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), in the macular region at baseline after three once-monthly intravitreal injections bevacizumab (loading phase) patients affected by exudative age-related degeneration (AMD). A total 38 eyes with AMD (16 women, 22 men; mean age 72.47 ± 7.46 years) were included study. We evaluated density different areas (whole image, fovea parafovea) superficial...
Background: To investigate the effects of a fixed combination Curcumin (200 mg), Artemisia (80 Bromelain and Black pepper (2 mg) on vascular parameters in mild to moderate diabetic macular edema (DME). Design: Prospective, case-control study. Methods: Fifty-six patients affected by diabetes mellitus type II were enrolled Twenty-eight with DME received 2 tablets/day, before meals dietary complementary supplement containing (Intravit®, OFFHEALTH Spa, Firenze, Italy) for 6 months. age-matched...
Background: Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has become the gold standard for mild and moderate stages to stop progression of keratoconus. We analyzed some corneal topography indices compare iontophoresis epi-on epi-off techniques throughout a two-year follow-up. Methods: A total 64 eyes 49 patients who underwent CXL were recruited. In 30 technique was performed, whereas remaining 34 treated with technique. All complete ophthalmologic examination that included CDVA, central thinnest...
In this prospective study, we analysed the changes in retinal vessel density (VD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) patients with commotio retinae up to 6 months after blunt ocular trauma. We VD superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep (DCP), radial peripapillary (RPC) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area at 48 h, 1, 3 trauma compared results those of healthy fellow eyes. also evaluated best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) structural, spectral domain (SD)-OCT parameters:...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Fabry disease (FD) on retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), arterial stiffness, and resistive index (RI) central artery (CRA) in early stages. Twenty-nine genetically confirmed FD patients twenty-six healthy controls were enrolled. Vessel density (VD) values superficial, deep, choriocapillaris plexuses (SCP, DCP, CC) measured via OCTA. CRA RI was studied color Doppler grayscale sonography, aortic pulse wave...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in structural spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), OCT Angiography (OCTA) parameters, and visual acuity, 1 year after endoscopic endonasal approach for removal an intra-suprasellar pituitary adenoma compressing optic chiasm compare outcomes with 48 hours postoperative data. Methods Sixteen eyes eight patients (4 males, 4 females, mean age 52 ± 11 years) were enrolled prospective study. primary outcome evaluate...
Purpose: Usher syndrome (USH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing impairment and retinitis pigmentosa. Classification distinguishes three clinical types of which type I (USH1) the most severe, with vestibular dysfunction as added feature. To date, 15 genes 3 loci have been identified USH1G gene being uncommon cause USH. We describe atypical USH1G-related phenotype caused a novel homozygous missense variation in patient profound relatively mild...
A hypercoagulable state has been reported to cause potential sight-threatening ischemia in patients suffering from Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed determine whether vessel density (VD), as measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), insights into retinal and choriocapillaris vascular changes affected SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Objective. The management of the capsular contracture after breast surgery with implants is challenging for plastic surgeon. For years leukotriene antagonists have been used off-label, but they are not without adverse effects. Since boswellic acids inhibit synthesis leukotrienes, purpose this study was to evaluate their efficacy in treating contracture. Methods. Twenty-eight patients who showed a higher than Baker I from March 2020 June 2022 were included study. After informed consent...
