To assess the extent to which Enzian classification correlates with revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) score and clinical symptoms in women deeply infiltrating endometriosis.Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force II-2).Endometriosis competence center specializing minimally invasive surgery.Between 1 January 2009 31 December 2011, a total of 194 underwent surgery due endometriosis. After histological confirmation, they were classified using rASRM systems....

Ischemia-reperfusion has been reported to be associated with augmented oxidative stress in the course of surgery, which might causally involved onset atrial fibrillation (AF), most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that supplementation antioxidants and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) lower incidence AF following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) In present study, by monitoring CABG we analyzed efficacy vitamins (ascorbic acid α-tocopherol) and/or PUFAs...

The vitamin B complex comprises 8 different water-soluble constituents that humans must sequester from the diet. This pilot study compared natural versus synthetic complexes for their bioavailability, accumulation, and impact on antioxidants, homocysteine levels, oxidative stress. We conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial with thirty healthy participants. They were randomly assigned to group N (natural) S (synthetic). Vitamin was ingested daily 6 weeks in range of about 2.5 times...

Although guidelines recommend normalization of platelet counts as an appropriate endpoint for treatment in high-risk essential thrombocythemia (ET), retrospective studies could not prove a correlation diagnostic with increased thrombotic rate. There is, however, increasing evidence that leukocytosis is important risk factor arterial thrombosis myeloproliferative neoplasms.This study considers the Austrian cohort European registry regarding platelet-lowering therapeutic anagrelide. Influence...

Abstract Purpose Comparison of dexamethasone phosphate (DXA) and triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) for intratympanic therapy (IT) in patients with unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) to reveal a potential superiority regarding the efficiency improve function. Methods Retrospective, monocentric, two-armed cohort-study. Analysis clinical audiometric data treated IT ISSNHL. 118 adults, who received DXA ( n = 67) or TCA 51) were included. Main outcome parameters...

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a plasma expander used for perioperative IV fluid management, as well resuscitation from trauma and shock.HES very tolerated, the incidence of anaphylactic reactions lower than with dextran or gelatin. Dextran anaphylaxis caused by circulating dextran-reactive antibodies (ABs) immunoglobin G (IgG) class found in most adults. Histamine release mast cells induces adverse after gelatin infusion. The cause due to HES not yet clear. To investigate AB formation HES, we...

Tissue storage of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a widely used artificial colloid, has been reported. In order to clarify whether HES can be detected in tissues by immunohistochemical methods, use was made polyclonal rabbit anti-HES antiserum. Thirteen days after single intravenous injection rats were sacrificed and liver, spleen, lymph node, lung, kidney skin removed. On paraffin sections all organs the antiserum stained mainly cells which could attributed mononuclear phagocyte system, as...

Design: Prospective randomized controlled observer-blinded pilot study. Setting: Institute Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Subjects: Thirty patients after cuff surgery. Intervention: All participants were randomly assigned to one outpatient treatment groups: Both groups treated for 12 weeks performed additionally a home exercise program. Main...
