Background: Health‐related quality of Life in patients with chronic urticaria is evaluated by mean generic instruments or questionnaire designed for skin diseases. No disease‐specific tool now available the assessment impact from patients’ viewpoint. Objective: The aim our study to develop and validate a new specifically life (Chronic Urticaria Quality Questionnaire – CU‐Q 2 oL) Methods: In development phase oL an initial list items 37 was compiled given 80 urticaria; 23 most significant...
Background: Few articles are available about chronic urticaria (CU) impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim our study was to evaluate QoL in CU patients both focusing health status and subjective satisfaction. We adopted two generic tools: SF‐36 (an questionnaire) SAT‐P (a satisfaction profile). Methods: Twenty‐one untreated (five males, 16 females; aged 46.3 ± 12.4) affected by CU, were enrolled. scores compared with a group 27 respiratory allergy. Published reference values 608...
Introduction: To date we have available specific instruments assessing health‐related quality of life (HRQL) in rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma, but not evaluating rhinitis and asthma together, although they often coexist. The aim our study was to develop validate a (QoL) questionnaire for adult patients with rhinoconjunctivitis, both. Materials methods: A pool 42 items covering the main symptoms problems related respiratory allergy, generated based on literature review clinical experience....
The clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in mite allergy and mild disease is still a matter debate, thus we performed long-term trial.The study was randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled. After 1-year assessment, 68 patients with rhinitis with/without asthma due to mites were randomized drugs + placebo or SLIT for 2 years. Sublingual given as soluble tablets monomeric carbamylated allergoid. Clinical scores (0, absent 3, severe) drug consumption assessed by diary card...
Introduction: Chronic cough, one of the most frequent causes for a patient to consult medical practitioner, limits course normal activities in everyday life affected (work, physical activities, social relations, night sleep). By now, there are few validated questionnaires evaluation impact this symptom patient's quality (QoL). For reason, we created new questionnaire assessment QoL patients by chronic cough (Chronic Cough Impact Questionnaire, CCIQ). Materials and methods: In development...
The 188 Re radioisotope represents a useful for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals therapeutic applications, particularly because its favorable nuclear properties. nuclide decay pattern is through emission principle beta particle having 2.12 MeV maximum energy, which enough to penetrate and destroy abnormal tissues, gamma rays (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Summary Background Levocetirizine (LCZ) has been shown to be effective in allergic rhinitis. We evaluated its clinical efficacy, antinflammatory actions and effects on quality of life (QoL) with a specific instrument the asthma–rhinitis comorbidity. Methods Fifty adult patients persistent rhinitis with/without asthma were enrolled. After 1‐week run‐in for baseline evaluation, they randomized LCZ or placebo 8 weeks. Cromolyn salbutamol permitted demand. Rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms by diary...
At Legnaro laboratories of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), a feasibility study has started since 2011 related to accelerated-based direct production by 100 Mo(p,2n) reaction. Both theoretical investigations and some recent preliminary irradiation tests on Mo-enriched samples have pointed out that both / ratio specific activity will be basically different in final accelerator-produced Tc with respect generator-produced one, which might affect radiopharmaceutical...
Evaluation of the radioisotopic purity technetium-99m (99mTc) produced in GBq amounts by proton bombardment enriched molibdenum-100 (100Mo) metallic targets at low energies (i.e. within 15-20 MeV) is conducted. This energy range was chosen since it easily achievable many conventional medical cyclotrons already available nuclear medicine departments hospitals. The main motivation for such a study framework research activities international level that have been conducted over last few years to...
Massive hemoptysis is a stressful and life-threatening event that can occur in lung cancer patients. The management of this usually challenging, involve surgery, embolization, bronchoscopy. Unfortunately, while surgery offer definitive solution to hemoptysis, patients are often excluded from approach. On the other hand, bronchial arterial embolization rarely results long-term control bleeding. Endoscopy allows skilled physician perform mechanical tamponade or laser photocoagulation bleeding...
67Cu, 186Re and 47Sc are theranostic radionuclides in the spot-light of scientific community: insufficient availability is limiting their use clinical pre-clinical studies. The aim this work analysis production by using high-energy high-intensity cyclotrons, as one installed at INFN-LNL framework SPES project, exploring promising nuclear reactions induced proton-beams.
Background. Despite the great attention that has been paid to HRQoL in children with respiratory allergy, few studies have addressed this aspect relation caregivers. The aim of our study was evaluate impact childhood allergies on caregivers by means a new method. Methods. 119 parents suffering from (75 asthma and 44 rhinitis) were recruited three Italian Allergy Units. Parents asked complete Disease Impact On Caregiver (DIOC), non disease specific questionnaire, validated population....
Summary Health‐Related Quality of Life (QoL) considers the impact both illness and treatment on a patient's life as perceived by patient himself. As well providing information how disease affects life, QoL instruments could provide important concerning outcomes. The SF‐36 enlighted significant impairment in eight nine domains patients with persistent allergic rhinitis, compared to healthy subjects. In seasonal rhinitis satisfaction profile does not show consistent changes before after pollen...
