Within the past five years we have performed excision of one quadrant of the ciliary body (pars plicata) (e.c.b.) in 22 eyes with secondary narrow-angle glaucoma. Prior to e.c.b. numerous surgical procedures for glaucoma had been attempted. Sixteen of the eyes were aphakic, six phakic. In nine eyes secondary angle clos…

Between 1962 and 1994 342 patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) were treated by atrial correction. Since 1992 the atrial switch operation is the treatment of choice for TGA. We reviewed our 32 year experience. Average age of the patients at operation was 69 months (7 days--8.5 years). 177/342 (52%) pa…

BACKGROUND: No once-daily single-tablet regimen is available for HIV-infected children under 12 years. The single-tablet, fixed-dose combination of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide is a once-daily, integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based regimen approved in the USA and European Union…

BACKGROUND: Pediatric cancer incidence has been steadily increasing over the last several decades with the largest increases reported in infants. Few evaluations have looked at international pediatric cancer incidence trends in the youngest children. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate trends in cancer incidence i…

For the last 20 years, knowledge of the physiological role of voltage-dependent potassium channels (Kv) in the immune system has grown exponentially. Leukocytes express a limited repertoire of Kv channels, which contribute to the membrane potential. These proteins are involved in the immune response and are ther…

Colorectal (CRC) and anal (AC) cancer, both lower gastrointestinal (GI) cancers vary in their presentation and treatment. Overall, the incidence of CRC has decreased. However, the incidence of CRCs in younger adults has increased over the last 5 years. The incidence of ACs has increased, too. Women are disproportionall…

Introduction: very few works offer a practical solution to understand the nutritional requirements of current basketball. This work offers a theoretical-practical proposal. Objectives: to analyze the fatigue produced during a basketball game and offer a practical solution to accelerate recovery through nutrition. Metho…

Prostate cancer is the most frequent non-cutaneous malignancy in men in the United States. In the last few years, many recommendations have been made available from the 2014 International Society of Urologic Pathology consensus conference, 2016 World Health Organization blue book and 2018 8th edition of American Joint…

Plane-trees are widely grown in Spain as ornaments. This taxon releases large amounts of pollen into the air and this pollen type seems to have proved implications on pollinosis. The aim of this study was to analyse airborne Platanus pollen content in the air of C6rdoba (South-western Spain) over the last 10 years, and…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To characterize local control and late toxicity in long-term survivors prospectively-treated with spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2002 to 2011, 228 patients were prospectively-treated on protocol for metastatic disease of 261 vertebral sites. A subset of 52 p…

PURPOSE: Several new drug therapies have been approved in CRPC in the past decade. However, little is known about their potential overuse at the end of life. Cancer therapy use at the end of life has been considered an indicator of overtreatment. The study objective was to describe CRPC drug use in the last month of li…

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effects of total cholesterol levels on prevalent, and incident suicidal behaviors according to age group (<60 vs. &#x2265;60&#x2009;years) in depressed patients. METHODS: Consecutive outpatients with depressive disorders who visited the Chonnam National University Hospital bet…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of sliding trochanteric osteotomy (STO) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe type &#x2163; developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: Between July 2016 and April 2021, 52 patients (57 hips) with Crowe type &#x2163; DDH who underwent primary THA were enrolled acc…

Over the past 20 years reports of sulfonyl migrations have appeared, frequently described as 'unusual' and 'unexpected'. This comprehensive review compiles, for the first time, sulfonyl migrations reported over the last 20 years including formal 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6- and 1,7-sulfonyl shifts, occurring through ei…

The incidence of malignant tumors in recipients of renal allografts is higher than in the general population. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 4.6% of the tumors in transplanted patients; of them, only 10% are found in transplanted kidneys. Transplantectomy has always been the usual treatment. However, during th…

Microbes have evolved over 3.5 billion years and are arguably the most adaptable organisms on earth. Restricted genetically by their inability to reproduce sexually, bacteria have acquired several additional mechanisms by which to exchange genetic material horizontally. Such mechanisms have allowed bacteria to inhabit…

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a fatal infectious disease with necrotic fasciitis of the external genitalia. This disease persists to this day in spite of recent advances in antibiotics. Although fewer than 100 cases have been reported in Japan, we have treated six cases in the last 4 years. The patients consisted of five…

We evaluated the anatomic distribution and pattern of skin involvement in 155 pediatric patients with Henoch-Sch&#xf6;nlein purpura treated in our center over the last 20 years. Of these, 120 (77.4%) presented with cutaneous signs; only 10% of them had no leg involvement. Seven patients (4.5%) had edema of the hands, f…

A total of 934 induced abortuses of middle-aged pregnant women (35-48 years old) were chromosomally surveyed. The mean gestational age was 7.6 +/- 2.0 (S.D.) weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period, and the mean maternal age was 39.6 +/- 2.7 (S.D.) years. There was a high incidence of chromosomally abnor…

The remission of rheumatoid arthritis is a generally accepted concept, although few studies have been performed in this area. The authors report 32 cases of rheumatoid arthritis in remission in a population of 300 patients (10.7%). These cases of rheumatoid arthritis did not present any distinctive signs in comparison…
