Low intensity GaAlAs (lambda=830 nm) laser irradiation effects on oral traumatic ulceration were evaluated. For this purpose, twenty patients presenting orthodontic appliance - induced oral traumatic ulceration were randomly distributed in two groups. Patients in group 1 were submitted to the irradiation procedure and group 2 was the control one. The irradiation parameters employed were the following: wavelength 830 nm, one single application of 4 J/cm2, punctual in the contact mode and 30 mW power. The control group received the conventional treatment, consisting on topical application of Triancinolon based ointment four times a day. For both groups the agent responsible for the trauma was removed or covered with utility wax whenever removal was impossible. The results were evaluated concerning the wounds size reduction and pain relief. The ... >>

Patients in group 1 were submitted to the irradiation procedure and group 2 was the control one. The irradiation parameters employed were the following: wavelength 830 nm, one single application of 4 J/cm{sup 2}, punctual in the contact mode and 30 mW power. The control group received the conventional treatment, consisting on topical application of Triancinolon based ointment four times a day. For both groups the agent responsible for the trauma was removed or covered with utility wax whenever removal was impossible. The results were evaluated concerning the wounds size reduction and pain relief. The time of laser irradiation was considered the starting time (time zero) and analysis were done 24 hours, 48 hours and seven days after that. The statistical analysis showed an acceleration in the healing process as well accentuated pain reduction for the irradiated group compared to the control one. These evidences allows us to indicate this protocol of one single application of 4 J/cm{sup 2} as therapy when patients with oral traumatic ulceration can not attend several sessions for a multiple application procedure.

Traumatic mediastinal lesions are unusual findings in patients with thoracic trauma but may represent poor prognosis and be associated with severe lesions. Mediastinal trauma is increasingly being diagnosed by computed tomography due to the fast acquisition times of helical techniques, allowing the evaluating of critically ill patients and the adoption of efficient therapeutic measures. The authors studied 11 patients with mediastinal lesions who were submitted to computed tomography due to thoracic trauma. The most frequent finding was mediastinal bleeding characterized by infiltration of mediastinal fat, dense material within the mediastinal spaces or hematoma. Hemo pericardium was the second most common lesion in this series, appearing as dense or liquid material in the pericardium. Aortic lesions such as wall irregularities or pseudoaneurisms were less ... >>

Traumatic lesions of the lung are common findings in patients with thoracic trauma. These lesions are increasingly diagnosed using computed tomography, mostly due to the fast acquisition time helical techniques that allow evaluation of critically ill patients and an efficient therapeutic management. The authors studied 150 patients with thoracic trauma submitted to computed tomography that demonstrated lung contusions, atelectasis, lacerations and hematomas. Lung contusions were the most frequent lesions appearing as consolidation or ground-glass attenuation areas. Atelectasis, in subsegmentar and compressive patterns, were the second most common lesions observed. Lacerations appeared as consolidations with air or liquid level. Lung hematomas, characterized by round opacities, were the most rare lung lesions seen in only five cases. In this study, blunt ... >>
Cervical myositis ossificans traumatica: a rare location
1999-05-01
An unusual case of myositis ossificans traumatica lesion located in the paraspinal region is reported. Despite the contiguity of the lesion with the cervical vertebrae and ominous appearance of the biopsy material, the history of antecedent trauma and computed tomography findings allowed preoperative accurate diagnosis. To our knowledge, myositis ossificans traumatica located in the cervical paraspinal region is very rare. (orig.) With 4 figs., 16 refs.

Early x-ray diagnosis of coxarthrosis
Radiological and pathological comparisons on specimen of femur head and neck at autopsy have shown a statistical relationship between osteophytosis of the femoral head and ulcerations of the joint cartilage. Especially, there are highly significant relationships between the length of osteophytes and the diameter of the ulcera. The 'plaque'-sign is shown to be a very sensitive indicator of early arthrosis. So there exist semiquantitative parameters for the X-ray diagnosis of early coxarthrosis.

Heterotopic ossification in abdominal incision : a case report
2001-08-01
Heterotopic ossification in abdominal incision is a rare post-surgical sequala and a subtype of myositis ossificans traumatica. Recognition of this rare condition is important because it may be misinterpreted as a retained foreign body or incisional neoplastic recurrence. We report a case involving a 59-year-old man who presented with a palpable epigastric mass and pronounced fatigability.

Most venous leg ulcers are due to the incompetence of perforating veins. The principal aim of surgery in the treatment of chronic ulcers which are not responsive to conservative therapy, is the identification, division and ligation of those incompetent perforating veins which transmit the hig venous pressure to the ulcerated area. Both radionuclide scanning and contrast venography may be accurate methods of evaluating the deep venous system and incompetent perforating veins; however, the role of radionuclide scanning in this setting is not fully exploited. The authors present one case of chronic, refractory postphlebitic ulcer in which radionuclide venography was employed to detect the incompetent perforating vein responsible for the development of the ulcer. Radionuclide venography (with Tc-99m red blood cells) allowed the main perforating vein to be clearly detected among others already identified by contrast venography. After surgical treatment the ulcer healed, and the perforating vein had disappeared when venoscintigraphy was repeated. In the author`s opinion radionuclide venography is a useful support to contrast venography in planning the surgical treatment of venous stasis ulcers. (orig.) [Deutsch] Die meisten Ulcera cruris entstehen auf der Grundlage von Perforansveneninsuffizienzen. Der prinzipielle Ansatz der chirurgischen Behandlung chronischer Ulcera, die nicht auf eine konservative Therapie ansprechen, ist die Identifizierung und Ligierung der insuffizienten Perforansvenen, die den hohen venoesen Druck in die ulzerierten Areale weiterleiten. Sowohl szintigraphische Methoden als auch die aszendierende Phlebographie sind geeignete Methoden zur Untersuchung des tiefen Beinvenensystems bzw. der insuffizienten Perforansvenen. Der Wert des szintigraphischen Verfahrens fuer diesen Zweck wurde jedoch bis jetzt nicht ausreichend untersucht. Die Autoren berichten ueber den Fall chronischer, therapieresistenter postthrombotischer Ulcera cruris, bei dem zur Detektion der fuer die Entwicklung der Ulcera verantwortlichen insuffizienten Perforansvenen die Venoszintigraphie eingesetzt wurde. Die Venoszintigraphie mit {sup 99m}Tc-markierten Erytrozyten ermoeglichte die Diagnose von Perforansvenen neben solchen, die bereits phlebographisch nachgewiesen wurden. Nach chirurgischer Therapie heilte das Ulcus ab, und die insuffizienten Perforansvenen waren auf einer Kontrollvenoszintigraphie nicht mehr nachweisbar. Nach Ansicht der Autoren stellt die Venoszintigraphie eine sinnvolle Ergaenzung zur aszendierenden Beinvenenphlebographie in der Planung der chirurgischen Behandlung chronisch venoeser Ulcera dar.

Penetrating ulcer of the aorta is characterized by the ulceration of atheromatous plaque with perforation of the internal elastic lamina, which favors the formation of a hematoma within the tunica media of the aorta. It presents with acute chest pain and may mimic ischemic heart disease or other aortic lesions such as dissection or aneurysm rupture. It is an uncommon but severe disease, the diagnosis of which is based mainly on radiological evidence. We describe the radiological findings observed in five patients with penetrating ulcer of the aorta studies by difference imaging techniques. (Author) 14 refs.

Full Text Available.We present a case of a 20-year-old college student who had myositis ossificans traumatica develop after a fraternity hazing. The patient was struck repeatedly on both of his thighs while standing at attention, and he presented with bilateral thigh pain and stiffness 6 weeks after the incident. Physical examination revealed 130° flexion of his right knee and 50° flexion of his left knee, which had a firm end point. Radiographs showed extensive new bone located adjacent to the anterior and lateral aspects of his left femur with less involvement of his right thigh. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed considerable edema involving much of the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis of both thighs. The patient was treated with physical therapy and indomethacin for pain and inflammation control. At his 1.5-year followup, the patient’s left knee flexion had improved to 130°. Nonoperative treatment with careful followup resulted in a favorable outcome in this patient despite considerable formation of bilateral thigh myositis ossificans traumatica.

The paper studies subphrenic inflammatory abscesses and splenic fluid collections after splenectomy for trauma. These complications may appear early or late postoperatively; they are easily demonstrated with computerized tomography, which permits accurate spatial assessment of the lesions and appropriate treatment with percutaneous drainage. It has been also investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the CT in subphrenic inflammatory conditions after emergency splenectomy for traumatic spleen rupture and found that CT is a precious tool for rapid and easy diagnosis and follow-up of subphrenic abscesses treated with percutaneous drainage. [Italian] Scopo del lavoro e' di valutare il ruolo della tomografia computerizzata nelle flogrosi subfreniche secondarie a splenectomia d'urgenza per rottura traumatica della milza, documentando come tale metodica risulti accurata nel diagnosticare e monitorare in modo semplice e rapido l'evoluzione e il controllo degli ascessi subfrenici trattati con drenaggio percutaneo.
Traumatic lung hernia; Hernia pulmonar traumatica
2001-07-01
Lung hernia is an uncommon entity that is defined as the protrusion of the lung parenchyma through a defect in the thoracic cavity. It is classified on the basis of its location (cervical, intercostal and diaphragmatic) and etiology (congenital and acquired). Acquired lung hernias can be further grouped as spontaneous, traumatic or pathological, depending on the responsible mechanism. Nearly half of them are secondary to chest trauma, whether penetrating or blunt. We present a case of lung hernia in a patient with penetrating chest trauma. The diagnosis was suspected from the radiographic images and was confirmed by computed tomography. We also review the literature concerning its classification and incidence, diagnostic methods used and treatment. (Author) 9 refs.

Fronto-basal fracture occurs in around 5% of cranioencephalic trauma. the involved structures are: arachnoid, dura-mater, osseous base and the mucosa, and there us contact between the brain and the environment. Even with rupture of all these structures cerebrospinal fluid leakage may not occur. Regardless of this, there may be infectious complications, such as bacterial meningitis or brain abscess. the authors report the case of a patient with head injury and four bacterial meningitis, the diagnosis of post-traumatic liquoric fistula being made only through magnetic resonance imaging.

Therapy and prophylaxis of acute and late radiation-induced sequelae of the esophagus
1998-01-01
Background: Radiation-induced esophagitis is a frequent acute side effect in curative and palliative radiotherapy of thoracal and cervical tumors. Late reactions are rare but might be severe. Methods: A resarch for reports on prophylactic and supportive therapies of radiation-induced esophagitis was performed (Medline, Cancerlit, and others). Results: Nutrition must be ensured and symptomatic relief of sequelae is important, especially in the case of dysphagia. The latter can be improved by topic or systemic analgetics. If esophageal spasm occurs, calcium antagonists might help. In case of gastro-esophageal reflux proton pump inhibitors should be used. There is no effective prophylactic measure for radiation esophagitis. Late side effects with clinical relevance are rare in conventional radiotherapy. Chronic ulcera, fistula or stenosis may develop. Before any ... >>

Diabetes mellitus is a common malady of our time with ever increasing numbers of patients presenting with diabetic foot and ankle pathology. Diabetes requires treatment by a multidisciplinary team and vascular disease requires management involving vascular surgeons. There is, however, an increasing burden on the orthopaedic surgeon with ulceration, foot deformity, osteomyelitis and Charcot osteo-arthropathy being direct complications of diabetes. Potential severe complications following fracture and elective surgery require an understanding of diabetes and its effects on soft tissue and bone. The key topics are: Pathophysiology - effects of hyperglycaemia on vascular, neuronal and immune systems, Assessment - examination of diabetic foot pathology and how to spot the `at risk foot', Ulcera...
Fusarium als Verursacher dermatologischer Krankheitsbilder
2010-01-01
Zusammenfassung Die Bedeutung von Schimmelpilzinfektionen beim Menschen nimmt zu. Fur die Dermatologie relevante Gattungen sind unter anderem Alternaria, Cladosporium, Scopulariopsis und Fusarium. Fusarium ist dabei durch charakteristische Makrokonidien und eine typische Kulturmorphologie gekennzeichnet. Die eigentlich als Pflanzenschadlinge bekannten Vertreter dieser Gattung konnen beim Menschen sowohl Intoxikationen als auch Infektionen hervorrufen. Letztere stellen bei immunkompetenten Menschen eine Raritat dar. Gefurchtet ist Fusarium als Erreger von Augeninfektionen, die vor allem bei Kontaktlinsentragern beschrieben wurden und schwer therapierbar sind. An der Haut ruft Fusarium Nekrosen, Ulcera, papulo-pustulose Hautveranderungen, Abszesse und Paronychien hervor, die bei immunsupprim...
Die Septische Herdenzephalitis
2006-01-01
Summary Septic encephalitides develop due to systemic bacterial processes, but they represent special nosological entities. Septic embolic focal encephalitis (SEE) mostly results from endocarditis as a consequence of cerebral embolism. The damaging mechanisms are based on local ischemia as well as bacterial infection of vascular and parenchymal structures. The septic metastatic focal encephaltis (SME) can be caused by any bacterial focus in the body, e. g., infected ulcera, phlegmons, pancreatitis, adnexitis, osteomyelitis. Pathohistological findings are microabscesses, pyoseptic foci and local glial reactions in different brain areas. Diagnostic measures include transthoracal and transesophageal echocardiogram, search for a primary septic focus other than endocarditis, analysis of CSF and...

We evaluated 43 magnetic resonance scans of the leg or thigh of patients suffering from sports trauma. Strains were the most frequent lesions observed. These lesions presented iso- or hypointense signal on T1 and hyperintense signal on T2 images, and were classified according to the intensity of the injury of the fibers into grades 1, 2 and 3. The second most common lesions in these series were contusions that appeared iso- or hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 images. Fibrosis was also observed as low signal lesions on T1 and T2 images. (author)

The occurrence of traumatic brain injury is illustrated with data from the nationwide computer-based registration (Landspatientregisteret) of discharges, discharged persons and diagnoses according to the WHO Classification of Diseases (ICD) carried out by the Danish National Board of Health. After correction for readmissions during 1986, a total discharge rate for 1986 of 3.32 per 1,000 inhabitants was found for diagnoses ICD 850 (commotio cerebri), 851 (contusio, dilaceratio, conquassatio cerebri), 852 (haemorrhagia intracranialis traumatica sive non specificata), and 854 (laesio traumatica intracranialis alia sive non specificata) as the primary or parallel diagnosis. 90% of the patients had diagnosis ICD 850. For ICD 850 and 851, the number of discharges was constant during 1981-1986, but decreased 14%, respectively 13% from 1986 to 1988. For ICD 850, the number of bed days decreased 29% to 31,419 from 1981 to 1988. On the contrary, discharges under diagnosis ICD 852 increased from 600 per year in 1981-1983 to 800 per year in 1985-1988. A computer-printout for 1988 from the corresponding registration in Frederiksborg County (representing 6.6% of the Danish population) covering the diagnoses ICD 851-854 revealed 75 patients discharged under these diagnoses. Examination of the respective hospital records showed that 29 of these patients had been admitted with sequelae of traumatic brain injury occurring in previous years. Twenty-three residents of Frederiksborg County had suffered recent traumatic brain injury corresponding to ICD 851-4.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Peptiske ulcera i Danmark, 1981-1993. Analyse af data fra landspatient- og dødsårsagsregisteret.
1999-01-01
The aim of this study was to determine whether the improvements in the treatment of peptic ulcers are associated with decreasing age- and sex-specific hospitalization and death rates for peptic ulcers in Denmark. The study was based on all discharges as registered in the National Hospital Discharge Registry and all death certificates as registered in the Danish National Board of Health from 1981 through 1993. The age- and sex-specific and age-adjusted hospitalization and death rates were estimated. In women, the age-adjusted hospitalization increased for all types of peptic ulcers. In both sexes the age-adjusted peptic ulcer mortality increased mainly due to complicated duodenal ulcers. The analysis of the age-specific hospitalization and mortality for peptic ulcer complications showed that the increasing trends mainly occurred among the elderly. The improved medical treatment of peptic ulcers has not been associated with decreasing hospitalization or death from complicated peptic ulcers in Denmark.

Evaluate the usefulness of the magnetic resonance (MRI) in the diagnosis of traumatic and compressive pathology of the peripheral nerves and analyze the etiology of the lesions and their severity. 25 MRI in patients with compressive and traumatic lesions of the peripheral nerves are analyzed. They were studied with MRI (1,5T) using T1 weighted spin-echo (SE), T2 gradient echo (GE) and STIR sequences. The morphological and nerve signal alterations make it possible to locate the lesion site and to assess the course of the lesion with successive studies. In our series, the most frequent cause of compressive pathology is fibrosis. Brachial plexus root avulsion is the most frequent finding in traumatic lesions. The MTI capacity for multiplanar study and its high resolution make it possible for us to detect small lesions in the peripheral nerves and to plan the best treatment. (Author) 17 refs.

Spontaneous hepatic bleeding is a rare condition. Our aim was to describe the imaging findings and minimally invasive treatment using transcatheter arterial embolization in patients with spontaneous and traumatic hepatic rupture. Three patients presented acute hemoperitoneum dur to hepatic rupture caused by spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma, HELLP syndrome and a blunt hepatic trauma. The patients were submitted to ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen and subsequently treated by transcatheter arterial embolization. All patients underwent helical computed tomography before and after treatments. Computed tomography played an important role in the evaluation and follow-up in the therapeutic intervention. Different types of liver injuries were identified. Transcatheter arterial embolization blocked arterial hemorrhage in the patients who were hemodynamically unstable. The conclusion was: transcatheter arterial embolization is an effective and well-tolerated treatment method for the management of hepatic rupture and computed tomography is an excellent method for the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients.

2005-01-01
ResumenObjetivo:el objetivo de este estudio exploratorio fue examinar hasta donde, los mejores constructos de las dimensiones basicas del maltrato, en combinacion, identificados en otros trabajos de LONGSCAN, predicen los resultados en los ninos.Metodo:Se utilizaron los registros de maltrato de una muestra de 203 ninos para definir las dimensiones del maltrato relacionadas con tipo, severidad, cronicidad, y edad en el primer reporte. Las definiciones se basaron en los hallazgos presentados en otros trabajos sobre este tema en especial. Se examino el funcionamiento conductual y emocional a la edad de 8 anos utilizando medidas estandarizadas de problemas de conducta, socializacion y adaptacion, y sintomatologia traumatica. Se utilizo la regresion con eliminacion en retroceso para detectar la...
Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Spontaneous Pneumothorax
2008-01-01
Se presenta la cuarta puesta al dia de la "Normativa sobre diagnostico y tratamiento del neumotorax", de la Sociedad Espanola de Neumologia y Cirugia Toracica (SEPAR). La presencia de aire dentro de la cavidad pleural de causa no traumatica o iatrogena es un problema clinico relevante. Se propone un metodo de cuantificacion del neumotorax mediante su clasificacion en parcial, completo o total, que junto a la valoracion clinica parece suficiente para adoptar las diversas actitudes terapeuticas. En la presente actualizacion se incorpora la aspiracion simple ambulatoria, como metodo equiparable en resultados al drenaje convencional, para el tratamiento del neumotorax espontaneo primario no complicado, cuyo uso no esta todavia muy extendido en Espana. Para el tratamiento definitivo del neumoto...

Purpose: The high frequency of unsuspected patello-femoral dislocations diagnosed by MRI, that were missed during the clinical consultation and physical exam, called our attention in a review of patients that were scanned for suspected instability or knee pain. The goal is to demonstrate the direct and indirect signs by MRI of patello-femoral dislocation that have been found in those patients, and the anatomic structures more frequently affected. Material and methods: 18 patients with patello-femoral dislocations were examined with MRI using a Signa 1.5 T magnet (General Electric-Milwaukee, USA). Axial, Sagittal and Coronal views T1 and T2 weighted (FSE T2) with fat saturation with 4 mm thickness, and a field of view of 16 cm were applied to all exams. >>

The beams enter from the bottom of the photo. Starting from left (Jura side)three experiments lay upstream of the European Hybrid Spectrometer (EHS), NA20, NA25 (with a small HOlographic Bubble Chamber, HOBC) and NA24. The EHS houses NA21, NA22 and NA23 with the Rapid Cycling Bubble Chamber RCBC, NA26, NA27 with the HOlographic LExan Bubble Chamber, HOLEBC. Along the beam line most at the right (H8) lays the NA3 setup, while downstream one sees the assembly of the GAMS detector (blue) of the CERN/USSR experiment NA12. At the centre run the beam H2/E2 for the FRAMM experiments NA1 (now completed), NA7 and NA29, and the beam H6 for NA30 and NA11.

It was the aim of the study described here to gain information relevant to the well-being of patients subjected to selective proximal vagotomy with or without pyroloplasty as soon as possible after surgery. For this purpose, particular care was taken to ascertain the frequency of recidivation and the post-operative occurrence of disturbances in the emptying of gastric contents. In 35 patients solely undergoing SPV and a further 12 individuals, where both SPV and pyroloplasty had been performed, gastric emptying was monitored using a gamma camera and computer system. All patients were given a standardised test meal consisting of 500 ml ready-made milk labeled with 2 mCi 99mTc-HSA. After the patients had been assigned to different study groups according to the gastric emptying rates established in the individual cases, it became evident that there was a correlation between gastric emptying time (T/2) and the occurrence of post-operative discomfort. In the majority of patients the gastric emptying rate was found to be increased as compared to individuals with a healthy stomach. Among a total of 8 patients showing delayed gastric emptying only one, who solely underwent SPV, reported post-operative discomfort. Markedly increased rates of gastric emptying (T/2 less than or equal to 5 min) were predominantly determined in patients subjected to SPV in conjunction with pyroloplasty. A dumping syndrome and diarrhea were diagnosed in every third patient. Clinical follow-up studies and questionnaires distributed among the study patients showed relapses to occur with a frequency of 6.7%, the recidivation of ulcera being confined to the group of patients merely undergoing SPV.

Postoperative irradiation of endometrial cancer by iridium afterloading technique
1988-09-01
From 1981 to 1986 708 patients were operated and postoperativly treated by total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and postoperative vaginal irradiation with high-dose-afterloading (iridium 192). A percutaneous irradiation (cobalt 60) was done in stage I cases only when myometrial infiltration was deep. Highly differentiated tumors with infiltration of the first and second thirth of the myometrium were treated by vaginal irradiation alone. Poorly differentiated tumors with infiltration of the second and third thirth of the myometrium were treated by vaginal and percutaneous irradiation. A group of 125 cases with good prognosis and with postoperative vaginal irradiation alone had the same five-year-survival of 83% as a group of 152 cases with bad prognosis treated by vaginal and percutaneous irrradiation. This result shows clearly the importance of additional irradiation of the pelvis in cases with bad prognosis factors. The incidence of radiation side effect in all 708 cases was: cystitis 4.6%, proctitis 5.2%, vaginal or rectal ulcera 1.4% and fistulas 0.2%. Cases with vaginal irradiation alone and with the optimal intravaginal fraction dose of 700 cGy (twice) had the lowest level of side effects: cystitis 3.8% proctitis 2.1%, vaginal necrosis 0.7%, no further severe complications. None of the patients with postoperative vaginal irradiation alone had a vaginal recurrence. The incidence of recurrences in 708 patients was 1.6%. All recurrence cases in stage I (0.7%) had bad prognosis factors and were treated with vaginal and percutaneous irradiation. (orig./MG) .
