Nocturnal polyuria with repeated micturitions during the night is a clinically evident feature of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). These effects are reversed by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). There some evidence that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and catecholaminergic activity may be implicated in pathogenesis these symptoms. We studied biochemical parameters six patients severe OSAS two nights: first (basal) their normal conditions second CPAP treatment. treatment...
Surgical and endovascular procedures to treat varicose veins in the territory of Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) are burdened by a variable rate groin recurrences. In case surgical procedures, they due development tortuous vessels leading formation cavernoma site previous Saphenous-Femoral Junction, after crossectomy, or by-pass metallic clip, crossotomy. recurrences are, instead, mainly represented rectilinear progression incompetence within an antigravitational Sapheno-Femoral Junction (SFJ)...
Abstract Case description A 57–year–old patient with a history of systemic hypertension, smoking, and type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency department chest pain approximately days‘ duration. ECG showed ST–segment elevation in anterior leads elevated cardiac necrosis markers. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderately reduced global systolic function (EF 45%), akinesis apex, septum, inferior wall, evidence an interventricular septal defect located at posterior septum...
Objective: Duplex ultrasound evaluation of the clinically diagnosed varicose long saphenous vein (LSV). Design: Prospective, single patient group study. Setting: Department Surgery, University Ferrara, Italy (teaching hospital). Patients: 378 patients, 509 limbs with primary veins; 94 103 a visible, superficial trunk on medial aspect thigh. Main outcome measure: detection and/or segmental dilatation and their relationship to reflux. Results: In 98% cases visible in thigh was demonstrated be...
Abstract: The cure Conservatrice Hémodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (CHIVA) can be office based (OB). OB-CHIVA protocol is aimed at transferring CHIVA procedures to specialists rooms. will check the feasibility of OB-CHIVA, data pertaining recurrence, and offer opportunity study saphenous femoral junction (SFJ) stump evolution, role washing vessels arch recanalization rate, gather new about effect length treated vein. A simplified diagnostic procedure allow an essential...
The CHIVA 2 strategy is a two-step surgical procedure for treating type III venous-venous shunts in the territory of Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV). first step consists disconnecting incompetent GSV tributary, either N3 or N4. Once new N2 re-entry perforator vein has developed, incompetence reached pre-existing vein, both documented by re-appearance reflux during follow-up, second strategy, i.e. closure saphenous-femoral junction, can be performed. In this paper we addressed intriguing...
This short review analyzes first the hemodynamic changes that follow destructive procedures, such as stripping or endovascular techniques, and conservative CHIVA Cure. Then, effects of resulting from procedures are compared with respect to course over time varicose disease, mainly focusing on occurrence recurrences their different characteristics. The results show both significantly improve plethysmographic reflux parameters till normalization. However, reduce compliance lower limb, which...
Abstract 39 years old non–smoker female patient came to our observation in July 2023 complaining dyspnea on mild exertion. She had a history of lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) positive for exon 19 deletion treated left pneumonectomy and ipsilateral hilar mediastinal lymphadenectomy 5 earlier, contralateral disease progression currently chemotherapy. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed circumferential prepericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis...
