Objective. Ultrasonography (US) is a simple, inexpensive and minimally invasive method. We evaluated the vascularity of small intestinal lesions in Crohn's disease using color Doppler US (CD-US) retrospectively compared them with endoscopic surgical macroscopic findings. Material methods. In order to compare CD-US findings, 108 patients who underwent examination terminal ileum by both colonoscopy were included study. Vascularity was semiquantitative method, Limberg score. analyzed...
Abstract Background Crohn’s disease (CD) is routinely evaluated using clinical symptoms, laboratory variables, and the CD activity index (CDAI). However, parameters are often nonspecific do not precisely reflect actual of small-intestinal lesions. The purposes this prospective study were to compare color Doppler ultrasound (US) findings with histological from surgically resected specimens confirm hypothesis that US can distinguish tissue inflammation fibrosis. Methods Among 1764 consecutive...
Abstract Purpose. To evaluate a new method of determining visceral fat amount by measuring para‐ and perirenal on abdominal sonography. Methods. Fifty‐seven patients hospitalized for treatment their diabetes were examined via waist circumference, sonography, CT. On the thickness combined was measured between kidney inner aspect musculature. Measurements both sides averaged as ultrasound (UFT). The area CT scans at umbilicus level. Visceral deposition considered elevated above 100 cm 2 ....
To clarify the incidence of concomitant esophageal cancers in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), to investigate which risk factors are responsible for this association.From 1994 2000, 134 HNC underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy using 0.8% Lugol stain method detect cancer. A case-control study was designed compare without Logistic-regression analysis used obtain odds ratios factors.Out HNC, unstained area detected 42 patients. Biopsy specimens revealed squamous cell carcinoma 17...
With a voltage-sensitive dye and an array of silicon photodiodes we monitored the action potential activity large fraction cells in Aplysia abdominal ganglion during gill-withdrawal reflex. This capability allowed direct determination spread sensory information within 1,000 neurons ganglion. Surprisingly, approximately 30% are activated by light touch to small area siphon skin. It is likely that many other also receive synaptic potentials, either excitatory or inhibitory, thus even very mild...
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics respiratory muscle strength motor functions, and investigate whether measurement useful for evaluating functions during health checkups. Furthermore, regarding care prevention, a further was can be used as risk factor determine conditions requiring long-term care. Methods subjects were 206 females (range: 19-92 years) 139 males 19-89 years). Pulmonary function, strength, body composition, physical fitness measured, correlations...
The aim of this study is to clarify whether trans-abdominal ultrasound (TAUS) can reflect actual intestinal conditions in Crohn's disease (CD) as effectively water-immersion (WIUS) does. This retrospective enrolled 29 CD patients with 113 lesions. Five (US) parameters (distinct presence/indistinct presence/disappearance wall stratification the submucosal and mucosal layers; thickened layer; irregular surface; increased fat wrapping around bowel wall; fistula signs) that may indicate...
We investigated the patients followed in our hospital's adult neurology department to evaluate issues during transition from pediatric health care for with special health-care needs neurological diseases. There has been an increase number of patients, and they were often recommended by pediatricians. Many had complications such as epilepsy, there also intractable disease. Therefore, undergoing this need neurologists. The requires a long time, is difference medical administrative fees between...
Objectives: Transabdominal ultrasonography is a common and accurate tool for managing Crohn’s disease (CD); however, the significance of resulting data poorly understood. This study was performed to determine association between bowel wall thickness evaluated by water-immersion macroscopic severity, namely, refractory inflammation subsequent fibrosis in CD surgical specimens.Materials methods: We retrospectively 100 segments colon small intestine from 27 patients with CD. The resected...
Abstract Introduction Luminal breast cancer patients show a relatively favorable prognosis when treated with adjuvant hormonal therapy alone. However, some of these develop recurrence and they might derive benefit from chemotherapy. Although several genomic profilings successfully developed to decide whether administer chemotherapy, clinically practical prediction methods sites do not exist. Our previous study showed possible bone metastases by using two serum markers; TRACP-5b as marker...
