Most adrenal incidentalomas are nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas (ACAs). Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) rare but should be recognized at an early stage.The objective of the study was to evaluate usefulness (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) predict malignancy in patients without a previous history cancer.This prospective, multicenter from 2001 2006.The conducted network seven university hospitals Paris.Seventy-seven were included. All underwent...
Interleukin-6 plays a central role in normal B-cell maturation and proliferation of some malignancies including multiple myeloma non Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). Furthermore, this cytokine also major acute phase response by mediating synthesis proteins such as C-reactive protein (CRP). In order to evaluate the exact CRP serum level simple prognostic factor, we analyzed IL-6 levels 39 patients with NHL. Eleven had low grade NHL, 15 intermediate 13 high Thirty percent presented detectable (mean...
Objectives : To examine the cost-effectiveness of strategies for management primary asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism: surgical and medical follow-up versus surgery. Design We used a Markov state-transition decision-analytic model an hypothetical cohort 55-year-old women to compare with lifetime horizon costs effectiveness bilateral neck exploration (BNE), unilateral (UNE), video-assisted parathyroidectomy (VAP) lifelong shifting either BNE or UNE in case disease progression. Methods Data on...
DESIGN: This study is a preliminary report on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake for the characterization of hypersecretory or non-hypersecretory adrenocortical masses in patients without known neoplastic disease, thereby minimizing presence adrenal metastases, and phaeochromocytoma, comparison with computed tomography (CT) scanning iodocholesterol scintigraphy. METHODS: Thirteen consecutive an mass scheduled to have surgery, underwent hormonal exploration, CT scan tumour size...
Surgical treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is effective in 90% of cases. Recurrent or persistent HPT occurs 10% Parathyroid imaging indicated to confirm and locate an abnormal gland before reoperation. The aim this study was evaluate whether the combination 99Tcm sestamibi scintigraphy, MRI venous blood sampling (VBS) improved overall sensitivity parathyroid detection. 18 patients with recurrent underwent scintigraphy (n = 18), (T1 weighted STIR sequences) 18) 12) at different...
Even after conventional patching treatment, individuals with a history of amblyopia typically lack good stereo vision. This is often attributed to atypical suppression between the eyes, yet specific mechanism still unclear. Guided by computational models binocular vision, we tested explicit predictions about how neural responses contrast might differ in impaired Participants (N = 25), and control participants typical visual development 19) took part study. Neural different combinations left...
Rituximab (chimeric anti-CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody) is effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory low-grade lymphomas B-cell origin as well diffuse large lymphoma. Several reports also demonstrated efficacy rituximab for autoimmune cytopenia, especially cold agglutinin disease. We report first case, to our knowledge, rituximab-related hemolytic anemia. The pathophysiological mechanisms remain unknown, although drug could act through massive cytokines liberation after destruction...
OBJECTIVE: To present first-line thoracic surgery made possible by localization studies in three patients with ectopic parathyroid adenomas. DESIGN AND METHODS: Three tissue the mediastinum were examined ultrasound, technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT), and venous catheterization measurement of hormone. Without previous cervical exploration, video-assisted (VATS) was used all cases to avoid need for open surgical procedures. RESULTS CONCLUSIONS: The mediastinal...
Trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has recently been employed in traditional psychophysical paradigms an effort to measure direct manipulations on spatial frequency channel operations the early visual system. However, effects of tDCS contrast sensitivity have only measured at a single and orientation. Since is known depend orientation, we ask how anodal cathodal may vary according these dimensions. We with sinusoidal gratings four different frequencies (0.5, 4, 8, 12 cycles/°),...
Abstract Objectives Psychological consequences of grief among relatives are insufficiently known. We reported incidence prolonged deceased patients with cancer. Methods Prospective cohort study 611 531 cancer hospitalized for more than 72 hours and who died in 26 palliative care units was conducted. The primary outcome 6 months after patient death, measured the Inventory Complicated Grief (ICG > 25, range 0–76, a higher score indicates severe symptoms) score. Secondary outcomes death were...
All patients have the right to expect receive best therapeutic means available reduce their suffering. Recent evaluation of French ministerial 3-year plan for fight against pain by Society Public Health (http://www.sfsp-france.org/Plan-Lutte-Douleur/Plan-Lutte-Douleur.htm) and observations current practice show that information training health professionals in this area should be continued. The necessity cancer has only recently become a priority. In 1996 working group, set up National...
Neural systems are inherently noisy, and this noise can affect our perception from moment to moment. This is particularly apparent in binocular rivalry, where of competing stimuli shown the left right eyes alternates over time. We modulated rivalling using dynamic sequences external various rates amplitudes. repeated each sequence twice, assessed consistency percepts across repetitions. External modulations sufficiently high contrast increased scores above baseline, were most effective at...
