Objective: To identify (1) predictors of outcome in blunt diaphragmatic rupture (BDR), and (2) factors contributing to diagnostic delay. Methods: We reviewed the charts radiographs 41 patients with BDR treated our Hospital from 1988 1997. There were 35 male (85%) six female, aged 17–71 (mean: 41) years. was left-sided 24 cases (58%), right-sided 15 (36%) bilateral two (5%). Results: Two groups can be identified: group A (n=36, 88%) acute BDR, B (n=5, 12%) post-traumatic hernia (TDH). In A,...
Introduction: Nutritional status impacts the survival of patients with cancer. There are few studies that investigate role nutritional on breast cancer in women cancer, and even fewer regarding impact adhering to Mediterranean diet (MD). The present study aims assess status, MD adherence, physical activity levels health-related quality life (HRQOL) diagnosed evaluate these parameters recurrence-free survival. Methods: A total 114 women, aged 35-87 years old, Larissa, Greece, participated...
Significance We characterized the heterogeneity of human TFH cells at a cellular, molecular, functional, and positional level revealed possible mechanistic links between relevant determinants this heterogeneity. Linking topology with specific molecular profile function is key aspect in understanding role particular cell subsets pathogenesis diseases delivery optimal help to GC B for development potent neutralizing antibodies.
To determine whether in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3T can provide accurate breast lesion characterization, and to the effect of gadolinium on tCho.Twenty-four positive-mammogram patients were examined a MR scanner. 1H-MRS was performed before after administration. tCho peak qualitatively evaluated contrast injection.Fourteen out 27 lesions proved be malignant histopathological diagnosis. Using 1H-MRS, injection, 6/14 confirmed malignancies 11/13 benign correctly...
The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal water and ion transport barrier essential for dialysis (PD) treatment has a central role in pathogenesis fibrosis ultrafiltration failure observed many PD patients. We investigated effect amiloride on transmesothelial electrical resistance (RTM) isolated parietal human peritoneum. Intact sheets were obtained from seven patients (three men, four women; mean age, 64 +/- 8 years). Fourteen planar transferred to laboratory oxygenated Krebs-Ringer...
Many studies have been performed over time in order to determine the reliability of metabolic rate prediction equations.To evaluate agreement, terms bias, absolute bias and accuracy between equations measured using indirect calorimetry system (IC), investigating also factors affecting this agreement.The anthropometric features 383 Caucasian participants all Body Mass Index (BMI) classes were recorded Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) was by IC Fitmate portable device. The resulting values...
Breast cancer ranks first in incidence and second deaths worldwide, presenting alarmingly rising mortality rates. Imaging methodologies and/or invasive biopsies are routinely used for screening detection, although not always with high sensitivity/specificity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could serve as diagnostic prognostic biomarkers breast cancer. We have designed a computational approach combining transcriptome profiling, survival analyses, power calculations from 1165 patients carcinoma The Cancer...
The peritoneal mesothelium constitutes an ion transport barrier that is taken advantage of in dialysis. aim this study was to investigate the effects epinephrine on electrical transmesothelial resistance (R(TM)) isolated parietal sheep peritoneum by means Ussing-type chamber experiments. Intact (diaphragmatic) samples were obtained from adult immediately after sacrifice and transferred within 0.5 h laboratory a cooled Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution (4 degrees C, pH 7.5), bubbled with 95%...
There are a lot of studies aiding to the opinion that involvement degree axilla lymph nodes grows depending on increase breast tumor size, and its histological nuclear grades. The aim this study was assess risk axillary involvement, as well relation between grades in group female patients who underwent cancer surgery, including levels 1-3 dissection.Investigationcovered 900 operated during 2005-2008 modified radical mastectomy axillar dissection. We assessed number involved nodes,...
Several trials on noncancer population indicate that yoga is associated with meaningful clinical effects. This study evaluated the physical and psychosocial outcomes of in oncologic patients treated radiotherapy.We focused a research through Cochrane Register Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), BioMed Central, MEDLINE studies up to May 2017.Yoga was found have substantial benefit cancer patients' distress, anxiety, depression. It also demonstrated moderate impact fatigue emotional function small...
Abstract The orchestrated interaction between follicular helper CD4 T cells (TFH) and germinal center (GC) B is crucial for optimal humoral immunity. However, the regulatory mechanisms behind spatial distribution function of TFH not well understood. Here, we studied human found that transitioning to a CD57 hi status was associated with distinct positioning in GC, phenotype, transcriptional signatures, downregulation their T-cell receptor (TCR). Single cell TCR clonotype analysis indicated...
