Abstract Aseptic pachymeningitis is a rare and serious complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, we describe patient with factor–positive anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide–positive RA who experienced focal seizure, aphasia convulsions the right side body. The findings magnetic resonance imaging histologic analysis led to diagnosis pachymeningitis. Because had large number CD20‐expressing B lymphocytes, therapy rituximab was started has resulted in complete sustained remission both...
The feasibility of effective fall prevention programmes (FPPs) for use in daily clinical practice needs to be assessed the specific healthcare settings. aim this study was explore perceived benefits and barriers an evidence-based, home-based pilot FPP among involved seniors, general practitioners (GPs), home care nurses (HCNs) physiotherapists (PTs), order develop tailored implementation strategies. a mixed method using 'exploratory sequential design'. In initial qualitative sequence,...
Prognosis of gastric and esophageal cancer is poor treatment improvements are needed. Programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) interaction with its ligand PD-L1 in tumor micro-environment promotes immune tolerance blocking monoclonal antibodies have entered clinical practice. However, significance PD-1 expression adenocarcinomas, particularly non-Asian patients, still unclear. Three tissue microarrays including 190 clinically annotated (n = 31) 159) adenocarcinomas 58 paired mucosa specimens,...
Background and objective: Falls in elderly cause injury, mortality, loss of independence, making Fear Falling (FoF) a common health problem. FoF relates to activity restriction increased fall risk. A voluntary intervention including risk assessment prevention strategies was implemented reduce falls patients with low energy fractures (LEF). The primary purpose this study evaluate the number subsequent trauma one year after LEF. secondary aim examine how affects patients’ lives terms Quality...

The article is concerned with the basic ideas of outcome quality within field oncological rehabilitation and expresses position which held by Section for Rehabilitation, Aftercare Social Medicine German Cancer Society. authors explicitly express necessity rehabilitation-specific goals corresponding criteria as opposed to acute treatment. In formulation criteria, medical-somatic, occupational-rehabilitative, social psychological levels are considered. consequences arise from these regard...
Due to the aging population incidence of Low Energy Fractures (LEF) increases. LEF have high mortality and morbidity rates often cause elderly lose independence. Patient-reported outcomes, such as Quality Life (QoL) patient satisfaction (PS) are needed evaluate treatment, estimate cost-benefit analyses, improve clinical decision-making patient-centered care.The primary goal was QoL PS in patients with LEF, compare scores community dwelling population. Second, we observed amount type...
Gout, one of the most common inflammatory arthritides in humans, is still difficult to diagnose challenging situations, when fluid for arthrocentesis or an apparent tophus are absent and, example, infection as differential diagnosis has be ruled out. Dual energy computed tomography (DECT) established tool detection and characterisation uric acid stones urinary tract recently been used detect display urate deposits. Our first experiences with DECT a diagnostic routine clinical practice show,...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an aggressive malignancy. Tumor-derived exosomes (TEX) have immunoregulatory properties. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) its immunosuppressive precursor adenosine (ADO) been found in cancerous tissue. We investigated the effect of TEX on B cells presence ATP. were isolated from human HNSCC line (PCI-13) cultures co-cultured with peripheral blood healthy donors, or without different concentrations a low (20 µM) high (2000 ATP dose. able to...
This paper analyzes the impact of fiscal federalism on income inequality and redistribution. Theoretically contradicting arguments ask for empirical evidence to obtain a better knowledge this relationship. We rely institutional setting in Switzerland study issue empirically. According our findings tax decentralization tends reduce concentration pre- after-tax without additional redistribution via progressive taxes. It is, however, crucial consider interdependence fragmentation as decreasing...
