To evaluate the prognostic relevance of molecular monitoring minimal residual disease in indolent lymphomas receiving high-dose sequential chemotherapy and autografting.A polymerase chain reaction- (PCR-)based strategy was used to presence tumor cells a panel 70 lymphoma patients: 40 with follicular (FCL), 14 small lymphocytic (SLL), 16 mantle-cell (MCL) lymphomas. They were treated either first-line (n = 61) or second-line 9) therapy an intensified program followed by peripheral-blood...
Background:The incidence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) disease is the lowest ever in United States.We describe recent and characteristics cases HAV from 6 US sites conducting surveillance Emerging Infections Program.Methods: Health departments conducted enhanced, population-based for 2005 through 2007.Demographic risk factor data were collected on suspected (persons with a positive IgM anti-HAV result) using standard form.Remnant serum specimens convenience sample tested by polymerase chain...
To evaluate thoracic aortic dilation in patients with Fabry disease (FD). A cohort of 106 FD (52 males; 54 females) from three European centres were studied. The diameter the aorta was assessed at levels (sinus Valsalva, ascending aorta, and descending aorta) using echocardiograms cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Aortic sinus Valsalva found 32.7% males 5.6% females; aneurysms present 9.6% 1.9% females. No observed aorta. There no correlation between risk factors. should be...
Background/Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is characterized by the development of micro/macro-vascular complications over time. Factors influencing their course may present specific features in primary care context. This study aims to identify predictive factors for evolution pathology DM2 patients and evaluate interventions implemented general practitioners (GPs) this Methods: From medical records 1169 from 13 Italian GPs, demographic, socio-environmental, clinical data were...
Reports of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) transmission associated with unsafe medical practices have been increasing in the United States. However, contribution healthcare exposures to burden new infections is poorly understood outside recognized outbreaks. We conducted a case-control study at three health departments that perform enhanced viral surveillance New York Oregon. Reported cases symptomatic acute occurring persons≥55 years age from 2006 2008 were enrolled. Controls identified...
Recently, morphometric measurements of the ascending aorta have been done with ECG-gated multidector computerized tomography (MDCT) to help development future novel transcatheter therapies (TCT); nevertheless, variability such remains unknown. Thirty patients referred for CT thoracic angiography were evaluated. Continuous reformations aorta, perpendicular centerline, obtained automatically a commercially available computer aided diagnosis (CAD). Then maximal diameter CAD and manually by two...
This study was undertaken to determine how dopamine influences cortical development. It focused on morphogenesis of GABAergic neurons that contained the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV). Organotypic slices frontoparietal cortex were taken from neonatal rats, cultured with or without dopamine, harvested daily (4–30 d), and immunostained for parvalbumin. Expression occurred in same regional laminar sequence as vivo . cingulate entorhinal preceded lateral cortices. Laminar expression...
The trans-apical aortic valve implantation (TA-AVI) is an established technique for high-risk patients requiring replacement. Traditionally, preoperative (computed tomography (CT) scan, coronary angiogram) and intra-operative imaging (fluoroscopy) stent-valve positioning require contrast medium injections. To preserve the renal function in elderly suffering from chronic insufficiency, a fully echo-guided trans-catheter seems to be reasonable alternative. We report first successful TA-AVI...
For the development and validation of a quantitative approach to analysis bone scans after total knee arthroplasty, 39 consecutive patients with 40 prostheses (6 males, 33 females; mean age, 70 years) were scheduled for clinical, radiographic, scintigraphic examination ranging from 9 90 months surgery. Twenty-seven arthroplasties considered be asymptomatic 13 symptomatic according clinical radiographic findings. Significant differences found 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate uptake femur tibia...
