Background Cranial vault lymphomas (CVLs) are rare skull lesions, mostly caused by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small (CLL/SLL) extremely rarely causes cranial lesions. Herein, we report case CLL/SLL causing unique and extensive lesion with striking presentation helmet-shaped tumor, whose treatment ibrutinib led to full bone regeneration. Case Description A 63-year-old woman was admitted our hospital for the continuation...
Nutritional abnormalities and physical inactivity are highly prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to determine the association between nutritional status/body composition performance COPD.A cross-sectional observational conducted outpatients clinically stable, moderate very severe COPD. In assessment status, we used dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, anthropometry, serum biomarkers, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire....
In Central/Eastern European countries, cerebrovascular diseases are among the leading causes of mortality. We aimed to determine incidence first-ever stroke (FES) in north-western part Croatia.A population-based prospective study was conducted between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2009. Cases were sought from multiple overlapping sources. Incidence rates by type gender calculated.A total 1,487 events recorded, 1,017 which FESs. age-adjusted (per 100,000 population) were: FESs 223.6 [women/men...
Background: The study investigates which physical performance or muscle function/mass tests significantly correlate with objectively measured activity (PA) in patients chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and could potentially serve to identify physically inactive COPD routine clinical practice. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational was conducted outpatients moderate very severe COPD. PA during one week the StepWatch Activity Monitor ® , an ankle-worn accelerometer, expressed...
Cilj: Ovim radom nastoji se ukazati na važnost uspostave sustava za ocjenu kvalitete radiološke slike u konvencionalnoj radiografiji. Metode: Studija je provedena retrospektivno, usporedbom i načina dobivanja slike. Ocijenjeno 20 radioloških slika zdjelice, a ocjena prema europskim kriterijima kvalitetu zdjelice. Kvalitetu su ocjenjivali radiolog, radiološki tehnolog student tehnologije. Usporedbom s istim kriterijem analiziran način rada pri oslikavanju zdjelice 3654 pacijenta te srca pluća...
Advanced imaging techniques play a pivotal role in oncology. A large variety of computed tomography (CT) scanners, scan protocols, and acquisition have led to wide range image quality radiation exposure. This study aims at implementing verifiable oncological by assurance optimization (i-Violin) through harmonizing dose across Europe.
Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare, asymptomatic entities, although large tumors may cause local symptoms or hemorrhage. When these lesions occur outside the adrenals in retroperitoneum, they radiographically easily confused with both primary and secondary retroperitoneal tumors, which tend to be aggressive. Although benign can managed conservatively, if malignancy is suspected, a surgical procedure an option. We report case of 68-year-old patient multiple perirenal extra-adrenal...
Introduction: Aortic dissection is frequently associated with ischemic stroke; however, a high clinical suspicion necessary when the presentation atypical. Case Report: We present atypical picture of De Bakey type I (Stanford A) aortic which presented as crossed hemiparesis in 52-year-old previously healthy woman. Conclusion: This case emphasizes need for assessing pulsations peripheral arteries on both arms and legs context acute stroke this could lead to diagnosis dissection.
<b>Background:</b> Reduced physical activity and nutritional status abnormalities are frequent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <b>Aim:</b> To compare severity, daily activity, psychological COPD normal poor exercise capacity (EC). <b>Methods:</b> Patients (n = 91) moderate to very severe were included this cross-sectional study. Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) <350m was defined as poor, ≥350m EC. Severity of assessed by spirometry, Assessment Test (CAT)...
Korištenje dijagnostičkih referentnih razina u svakodnevnoj kliničkoj praksi s ciljem optimizacije postupaka koji se provode rendgenskim uređajima za računalnu tomografiju može predstavljati poseban izazov ako su dane pojedina anatomska područja. Razlog tome je činjenica da oslikavanje istog anatomskog područja mogu koristiti različiti protokoli, ovisno o potrebnoj razini kvalitete radiološke snimke koja određena kliničkom indikacijom. Usporedba tipičnih vrijednosti dozimetrijskih veličina...
The primary aim of this study was to improve the diagnosis lymphocytic pleural effusions (LPEs) by combining their ultrasound characteristics with macroscopic and biochemical features.This prospective, single-center, clinical observational conducted over a period three years. possible malignant etiology LPEs assessed using several diagnostic criteria: 1. LPEs; 2. typical combinations features; 3. logistic regression method parameters-pleural nodularity, absence fibrin, serum protein...
<b>Background:</b> Osteoporosis is an important extra-pulmonary manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <b>Aim:</b> To evaluate the prevalence osteoporosis, osteopenia and vitamin D deficiency in patients with moderate to very severe COPD, explore association between bone mineral density (BMD) exercise capacity / gait speed. <b>Methods:</b> BMD T-score were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, serum level 25-hydroxyvitamin was determined. Severity COPD...
<b>Background:</b> Low body mass index (BMI) and reduced physical activity (PA) are predictors of health-care use mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <b>Aim:</b> To evaluate nutritional status patients with moderate to very severe COPD, compare PA different BMI categories, explore the factors associated malnutrition. <b>Methods:</b> was calculated as weight/height squared (kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Clinical evaluation included function tests, COPD Assessment Test, mMRC...
Arteriovenska malformacija (u daljnjem tekstu: AVM) je kongenitalna vaskularna koju čine nepravilne poveznice između arterije i vene, a koje komuniciraju putem centralnog nidusa. Mogu se razviti u bilo kojem području tijela, ali najčešće pojavljuju središnjem živčanom sustavu, rjeđe na periferiji. Periferni AVM-i često prezentiraju poput tople, rozo-crvenkaste lezije koja pulsira. Izbor liječenja AVM-a ovisi o tipu te od iznimne važnosti pravilno dijagnosticiranje klasifikacija AVM-a. U ovom...
