In Brief Objective: Laparoscopic myotomy is the currently preferred treatment for achalasia. Our objectives were to assess long-term outcome of this operation and preoperative factors influencing said outcome. Methods: Demographic clinical characteristics data on prospectively collected patients undergoing laparoscopic achalasia at our institution from 1992 2007. Treatment failure was defined as a postoperative symptom score higher than 10th percentile (>9). Logistic regression analysis used...
Abstract Chikungunya fever is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes spp mosquitoes. The infection endemic in parts of Africa, South-east Asia and on the Indian sub-continent.
Objective To assess the causes of failure laparoscopic Heller myotomy and to verify whether endoscopic pneumatic dilation is a feasible treatment. Summary Background Data Laparoscopic has proved an effective treatment for esophageal achalasia, with good or excellent results in 90% patients. The failures remains controversial, however. Methods From 1992 1999, 113 patients underwent achalasia. Ten (8.7%) reported dysphagia (n = 7) chest pain 3) median 5 months after surgery (range 1–12) were...
On 10 September 2011, a patient in his 50s was admitted to hospital Ancona, Italy, after six days of high fever and no response antibiotics. West Nile virus (WNV) infection suspected tests determine the aetiology were inconclusive. 20 September, WNV-specific IgM IgG antibodies detected patient’s serum. Genomic sequencing viral isolate showed that belonged WNV lineage 2.
Hantavirus infections are reported from many countries in Europe and with highly variable annual case numbers. In 2010, more than 2,000 human cases were Germany, numbers above the baseline have also been registered other European countries. Depending on virus type characterised by mild to severe forms of haemorrhagic fever renal syndrome. The member laboratories Network for diagnostics Imported Viral Diseases present here an overview progression period 2005 2010. Further we provide update...
"Central Nervous System Involvement during Infection by Phlebovirus Toscana of Residents in Natural Foci Central Italy (1977–1988)" published on Oct 1991 The American Society Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
A total of 84 virus strains was obtained from 16,374 male and female sand flies (Phlebotomus perniciosus P. perfiliewi) collected in two localities Tuscany region Italy between 1980 1985. Thirty-seven (44%) were identified as Toscana (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus) 47 (56%) a new member the Phlebotomus fever serogroup, Arbia virus. The characteristics this serotype are described. overall isolation rate 0.5 per 100 insects processed. Virus rates for both viruses similar different...
We describe the geographical and temporal distribution of West Nile neuroinvasive diseases (WNND) cases in Italy from 2008 to 2011. The increasing number confirmed human eight 18 2009 occurrence virus a larger area (moving east west) prompted Ministry Health publish, spring 2010, national programme for WNND surveillance, comprising veterinary vector surveillance. Subsequently, 2011, new plan on integrated surveillance imported autochthonous vector-borne (chikungunya, dengue disease) was...
On 20 September 2008, the laboratory of Regional Reference Centre for Microbiological Emergencies (Centro di Riferimento Regionale per le Emergenze Microbiologiche, CRREM) in Bologna, reported detection specific IgM and IgG antibodies against West Nile virus (WNV) serum a female patient her eighties who lived rural area between Ferrara Italy.
In 2009, to date 16 human cases of West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND) have been reported in Italy, three regions: Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia. The number is higher compared with last year when nine were identified (eight WNND one case fever) the geographical distribution indicates spread from east west.
ObjectivesTo evaluate whether the increase of temperature can influence environmental endurance severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).MethodsVirus was inoculated on a plastic surface and harvested at predefined time-points in parallel 20°C–25°C (room temperature; RT) 28°C (June JT). Samples were tested by TCID50 titres Vero cells.ResultsOur results confirm that fomite transmission emerging SARS-CoV-2 is possible: virus reserved its ability to infect cells for up 84...
The pathophysiological and clinical value of performing High-Resolution Manometry (HRM) after laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is still unclear debated.
There is no consensus on the definition of failure after treatment in patients with achalasia. The Eckardt score used to define clinical outcomes. However, objective metrics are lacking. This study aimed identify whether any high-resolution manometry (HRM) parameters may be useful predicting a positive outcome laparoscopic Heller-Dor (LHD).
