This is a long enough period of time for the recipients to fully appreciate the benefits of the procedure and for the donor families to see the effects of their decision (the opinion and the Law proposal hit the Zeitgeist, and keep Italy in the regulation of European Union).Diffuse IDH-mutant astrocytic tumors are rarely diagnosed in the…[Read more]

The use of enhanced half-life (EHL) FVIII has improved the quality of prophylaxis in haemophilia A, but with a benefit that may vary from one patient to another. We analysed the pharmacokinetic data obtained with efmoroctocog alfa (rFVIII-Fc) in 114 patients and, in 47 cases, compared them to those previously measured with non-EHL FVIII. The in…[Read more]

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen on sudden sensorineural hearing loss（SSNHL）. MethodOne hundred and seven patients with SSNHL were selected, and were randomly divided into 3 groups according to admission order. Therapeutic schedule in group A （38 cases） consisted of hyperbaric oxygen treatment once a day for 10…[Read more]

A stable and calm relationship between patient and caregiver, characterised by reciprocity, mutual help and affection affected patient self-care provided at home and the caregiver burden. The concept of mutuality seems to describe this relationship, despite the patient’s dependence on the caregiver. The relationship with health professionals and…[Read more]

Recognition that many species share key life-history strategies has enabled predictions of responses to habitat degradation or rehabilitation by these species groups. While such responses have been well documented for freshwater fish that exhibit ‘periodic’ and ‘opportunistic’ life-history strategies, this is rare for ‘equilibrium’ life-history,…[Read more]

Pseudo-pulseless electrical activity (pseudo-PEA) is a lifeless form of profound cardiac shock characterized by measurable cardiac mechanical activity without clinically detectable pulses. Pseudo-PEA may constitute up to 40% of reported cases of cardiac arrest. Resuscitation from pseudo-PEA is often associated with hypotension refractory to…[Read more]

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is now established as a vital sign. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is the gold-standard approach to assessing CRF.

A body of literature spanning several decades clearly supports the clinical utility of CPX in those who are apparently health and at risk for chronic disease as well as numerous patient…[Read more]

Taken together, our results indicate that decreased KLF2 aggravates asthma progression by promoting neutrophil migration, which is associated with the transcriptional upregulation of CXCR1 and CXCR2. The KLF2 and/or CXCR1/2 expression levels may represent an indicator of asthma severity.Excessive production of immunoglobulins (Ig) causes…[Read more]

5%) died by 28 days after diagnosis. Specific underlying comorbidities (age >65 , congestive heart failure , chronic lung disease , obesity ) and presenting findings (lymphopenia , abnormal chest imaging ) were independently associated with mortality. Multiple measures of immunosuppression intensity were not associated with mortality.…[Read more]
