OBJECTIVE The mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) is a significant determinant overall metabolic control as well increased risk for diabetes complications. Older individuals with type 2 are more likely to have moderate cognitive deficits and structural changes in brain tissue. Considering that poor considered deranging factor performance diabetic patients, we evaluated whether the contributions MAGE status older patients were independent from main markers control, such sustained...
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the cross-sectional relationship between arterial blood pressure and cognitive impairment in a group elderly subjects, controlling for such confounding variables as age, education, depression, drug use antihypertensive treatment. Design setting A survey Campania, region southern Italy. Subjects methods random sample 1339 subjects aged 65–95 years (mean 73.9 ± 6.2 years) selected from electoral rolls interviewed by trained physicians....
The pathophysiology of chronic diabetic ulcers is complex and still incompletely understood, both micro- macroangiopathy strongly contribute to the development delayed healing wounds, through an impaired tissue feeding response ischemia. With adequate treatment, some may last only weeks; however, many are difficult treat months, in certain cases years; 19–35% reported as nonhealing. As no efficient therapy available, it a high priority develop new strategies for treatment this devastating...
Introduction. Surgical site infections (SSIs) affect costs of care and prolong length stay. Crohn’s disease (CD) represents an independent risk factor for SSI. The can be further increased by concomitant administration immunosuppressive drugs poor performance status at the time surgery. Patients suffering from CD often need more than one surgical intervention during life, sometimes requiring fashioning a stoma. aim this pilot study was to compare portable device negative pressure wound...
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileopouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice for intractable or complicated ulcerative colitis (UC). Debate exists concerning outcomes IPAA in elderly and literature data are scarce. We report our experience older population. gathered on a prospective database patients undergoing UC over 70 years age Unit from January 1990 through 2010.

Abstract Background The management of cutaneous metastases often represents a challenge because they may be widespread and recur after radiotherapy or chemotherapy; breast cancer accounts for 51% the total cases metastases. When surgical excision chest wall recurrences is not possible other local treatments such as with hyperthermia fail, topical chemotherapy electrochemotherapy (ECT) might taken into account.

Background. Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) has some peculiarities in paediatric ulcerative colitis (UC). Aims. The primary aim was to compare the bowel function of patients undergoing IPAA between those operated on childhood and adulthood. secondary quality life (QoL) outcomes for children medical surgical therapies. Method. Children were compared adult 2007 2012. Function assessed 1 year after ileostomy closure. QoL medically managed their counterparts....
The prevalence of varicose veins (VV) in the elderly population Campania Region, Southern Italy, was estimated. A random sample people aged more than 65 years drawn by means a stratified multistage sampling design warranting that observed percentages were direct estimates percentages. investigation covered 1319 subjects, 560 (42.5%) men and 759 (57.5%) women, their ages ranging from 66 to 96 with an average value 74.2 years, who interviewed visited trained physicians.

Perioperative prophylactic antibiotic treatment significantly influences intestinal microflora, resulting in impaired bowel functioning some patients, sometimes requiring further investigations. This may lead to a worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Probiotics administrated the early post-operative period help avoiding such nuisances older people. We prospectively enrolled patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery aged over 70 years between 2005 and 2012. The study was...
The finding of thyroid nodules is a very common occurrence in routine clinical practice. Approximately 5% to 7% the entire population have nodules. Vascular lesions are one most controversial issues pathology. These include benign such as hemangiomas and, rarely, malignant tumors angiosarcomas or undifferentiated angiosarcomatoid carcinomas. In particular, angiosarcoma gland rare, highly aggressive vascular tumor and Italy greatest geographical incidence this lesion witnessed near Alps....
