Soft tissue undifferentiated round cell sarcoma (URCS) occurring in infants is a heterogenous group of tumors, often lacking known genetic abnormalities. On the basis t(10;17;14) karyotype pelvic URCS 4-month-old boy showing similar breakpoints with clear kidney (CCSK), we have investigated possibility shared abnormalities CCSK and soft URCS. Most CCSKs are characterized by BCOR exon 16 internal tandem duplications (ITDs), whereas smaller subset shows YWHAE - NUTM2B/E fusions. Because...
In Brief Study Design. An in vitro biomechanical study of expandable cages for vertebral body replacement the human thoracolumbar spine. Objectives: The purpose this was to compare properties 3 different with a nonexpandable cage. Summary and Background Data. Recently, there has been rapid increase use commercial availability Although all cages, evaluated study, are approved clinical Europe, little information is available concerning these implants. Material Methods. Thirty-two spines (T11...
O bjective : To determine if Buchanan’s vertebral heart scale can be applied to beagle dogs establish reference values for this breed and the possible influence of optimal lung inflation on cardiac measurements. M ethods The health 19 was examined by echocardiography, electrocardiogram, non‐invasive blood pressure measurement, complete count serum chemistry profile. Right left lateral recumbent radiographs thorax were obtained while conscious under general anaesthesia with inflation....
Recent methodology has enabled the identification of some new genetic subgroups within melting pot lesions presently classified by 2013 WHO classification as “undifferentiated/unclassified sarcomas”. One these is characterized a paracentric inversion X chromosome with consequent formation BCOR-CCNB3 fusion. Clinical and pathological features tumors overlap Ewing sarcoma family well other soft tissue sarcomas, thus making them difficult to diagnose. To investigate morphological...
Object Recently, expandable cages for vertebral body replacement in the cervical spine have been developed. The purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical properties with those a tricortical iliac crest graft and nonexpandable cage. Methods Forty human spines (C3–5) were tested flexion, extension, axial rotation, lateral bending. First all motion segments evaluated intact. After corpectomy C-4 divided into five groups eight following stabilization techniques used: 1) autologous bone...
Oral-facial-digital type VI syndrome (OFDVI) is a rare phenotype of Joubert (JS). Recently, C5orf42 was suggested as the major OFDVI gene, being mutated in 9 11 families (82 %). We sequenced 313 JS probands and identified mutations 28 (8.9 %), most with pure JS. Only 2 out 17 patients (11.7 %) were mutated. A comparison vs. non-mutated showed that preaxial mesoaxial polydactyly, hypothalamic hamartoma other congenital defects may predict mutations, while tongue hamartomas are more common...
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of storage phosphor and digital selenium radiography (DSR) with asymmetric symmetric screen-film systems at different speeds in detection simulated interstitial lung disease catheters.Patterns catheters were superimposed over an anthropomorphic chest phantom. Hard-copy images generated DSR (200-, 400-, 600-speed), (200- 400-speed), (400-speed) 400-speed) imaging. Surface doses measured, receiver operating characteristic analyses performed.No...
The aim of the study was to investigate possible overexpression estrogen (ERs) and progesterone (PRs) receptors both in EPs glandular stromal cells postmenopausal women with levothyroxine-treated hypothyroidism comparison detected physiological thyroid hormone levels. During period (January-February 2013) 22 patients were eligible (12 treated, 10 controls). two groups homogenous for general, sonographic hysteroscopic features. None cases atypia found. Immunohistochemistry showed that similar...
Joubert syndrome is a disorder characterized by ataxia, developmental delay, oculomotor anomalies, and breathing irregularities, with cerebellar vermian midbrain dysgenesis. The molar tooth sign, reflecting the dysgenesis of syndrome, neuroradiological hallmark an essential sign in identification this condition. Variable agenesis, expanded fourth ventricle, large posterior cranial fossa normal brainstem are typical Dandy-Walker malformation. authors report case which malformation coexisted...
Apert syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly type I; AS) is a rare but well-known autosomal dominant disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, bony/cutaneous syndactyly of fingers and toes as well variety associated congenital anomalies involving the brain, heart, limbs other organ systems. We report case fetus with molecularly confirmed additional fusion thalamic nuclei. Various central nervous system anomalies, have been reported in patients AS. However, far we know cases...
Cantrell's pentalogy (CP) is a rare, mainly sporadic spectrum of congenital midline thoracoabdominal defects that includes sternal anomalies, ventral diaphragmatic hernia, partial absence the pericardium, supraumbilical abdominal wall defects, and heart malformations. The approximate incidence 1 in 100 000, with 2:1 male predominance. A 25-year-old pregnant woman was referred to Prenatal Diagnosis Unit University Hospital Padua for multiple malformations at 21 weeks gestation. level 2...
Objective: At the end of Practical Year (PY), medical students decide on a specialization. Individual motivational factors and barriers play central role in choice subsequent subject area place establishment (city/country). The aim this study was to document PY within General Practice (GP) tertiary elective over time. Methodology: Two guided interviews were conducted with each participant (N=19) as part qualitative process monitoring - pre-interview at start post-interview after completion...
Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) are a family of hamartomatous disorders due to the uncontrolled overgrowth terminal bronchioles. can co-exist with cardiovascular and/or urogenital malformations, but their association thoracopulmonary is extremely rare. We report first case CPAM type I, co-existing tracheo-esophageal fistula and corpus callosum agenesis.
