To verify the effectiveness of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in treatment large (>30-mL) hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules.Twelve patients (eight women, four men; age range, 26-76 years) with a nodule (volume 33-90 mL; mean, 46.08 mL) underwent PEI under ultrasonographic (US) guidance. US was used to calculate volume nodules and assess diffusion lesions during procedure. When incomplete necrosis depicted at scintigraphy performed 3 months after treatment, additional sessions were...
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (CD26/DPP-IV) is an ectoenzyme expressed on different cell types. Signaling properties and functional consequences of the CD26 triggering have been elucidated mostly T cells, where molecule delivers a costimulatory signal that potentiates T-cell activation through receptor. We conducted studies in human hepatocarcinoma-derived PLC/PRF/5 line to examine transduction its absence other T-cell-specific membrane molecules. Engagement cells specific antibody induces...
We screened the aldolase B gene in 14 unrelated Italian patients with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), and found two novel disease related mutations: a single nucleotide deletion exon 2 (delta A20) that leads to an early stop codon, C-->T transition 8 substitutes Arg Trp residue at codon 303 (R303W).
Inguinal hernia is a common congenital abnormality in children.Clinically it manifests itself with palpable swelling the groin.The ultrasound examination essential to confirm clinical hypotheses.We describe rare case of inguinal both intestinal and ovarian contents an infant who arrived at emergency room "Santobono-Pausilipon" pediatric hospital.
A giant bezoar fulfilling the stomach, duodenum and jejunum for about 60–70 cm was found in a young girl with autism spectrum disorder, admitted acute abdominal pain. At initial radiological evaluation an intestinal ilea-ileal intussusception diagnosed but computed tomography showed hypointense material chambered aspect likely due to accidental ingestion of exogenous material. The presence endoscopically confirmed patient underwent surgery its manual removal.
Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are congenital vascular lesions in which dysplastic arteries connected to the veins without an intervening capillary bed.High arterial flow directly into venous structures can lead disruption of walls and ultimately cause hemorrhage.These be found muscles, subcutaneous fat, bone mainly central nervous system.We describe a rare case adrenal AVM 6-year-old boy who arrives at emergency room "Santobono" hospital.
Trichobezoars are masses, which commonly encountered in patients with psychiatric problems such as trichotillomania and trichophagia, formed by the accumulation of intraluminal nondigestible substances causing formation a foreign body within lumen that can lead to obstruction stomach small bowel. Rapunzel Syndrome (RS) refers very rare syndrome occur children. It is severe condition gastric trichobezoar long tail passes into duodenum migrate bowel obstruction. Large trichobezoars, including...
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from embryonic mesenchymal precursor cells of the striated muscle cells. Genitourinary tract rhabdomyosarcoma rare disease nearly exclusive to pediatric population. Despite being highly aggressive with rapid local growth, recent innovations in chemotherapy field have greatly improved prognosis young patients. Diagnostic imaging plays an essential role management these patients, both diagnostic phase and post-therapeutic phase, evaluate any...
We described the radiographic and tomographic pulmonary picture of three children came to emergency room "Santobono-Pausilipon" Pediatric Hospital during COVID-19 pandemic with acute respiratory distress, first clinical manifestation unrecognized already advanced stage cancers: renal cell carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma lymphoblastic leukemia.
