    Notes: Background : In patients with chronic liver disease, the measurement of liver function is critical for monitoring disease progression, predicting the prognosis and choosing therapeutic strategies. The 13C-methacetin breath test is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool based on an inexpensive, non-toxic substance, which allows the accurate measurement of liver functional reserve.Aim : To investigate the 13C-methacetin breath test as a tool to monitor hepatic function in liver transplant candidates and recipients.Methods : Twenty-eight cirrhotic patients listed for orthotopic liver transplantation and 10 healthy controls were studied. The 13C-methacetin breath test (75 mg per os) was performed at baseline and at 12-week intervals. Intra-operative measurements were obtained during the liver transplantation procedure in nine patients. Results were expressed as the 13C-methacetin cumulative oxidation percentage 45 min after substrate ingestion.Results : The mean 13C-methacetin cumulative oxidation at 45 min was 16.4 ± 3.5% in healthy controls and 5.4 ± 4.2% in cirrhotic patients at the time of listing. In 11 patients who underwent successful liver transplantation, mean oxidation increased from 3.3 ± 1.6% before transplantation to 17.0 ± 5.2% at 6 months of follow-up. Variations in methacetine oxidation were closely related to the recovery of liver function. The mean intra-operative 13C-methacetin cumulative oxidation increased from 0.1% during the anhepatic phase to 3.7 ± 2.0% 2 h after reperfusion.Conclusions : The 13C-methacetin breath test is a simple and potentially useful tool for monitoring hepatic function in cirrhotic patients listed for liver transplantation, and during the intra-operative and post-operative phases.

    Identifiability of DNA distribution from flow cytometric data with cell debris (1988)

    Notes: Abstract In flow cytometric measurement of cell DNA distribution one of the major problems is accounting for the effect of fragmentation in the staining process. This work considers a recent probabilistic model that has been proposed for the fragmentation process and species under which conditions it is possible to uniquely identify the DNA distributions of the original population using flow cytometric data. Attention is given both to the normal and to the polyploid case.

    Long-term results of surgical treatment of spinal lipomas (1990)

    Notes: Summary We report the long-term results of surgery on spinal lipomas in a series of 18 patients. Four patients had congenital lipomas with spina bifida and/or myelomeningocele and the other fourteen had tumoural (true) lipomas. Simple decompression or subtotal removal afforded a very good prognosis in all patients with intradural lipomas whose preoperative neurological deficits were slight. In the light of the long follow-up, the lack of difference in biological behaviour between congenital and tumoural (true) lipomas leads us to regard the two types as a single maldevelopmental entity of dysembryogenetic origin.

    Subarachnoid haemorrhage of unknown origin (1986)

    Acta neurochirurgica 80 (1986), S. 12-17 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Medium and long term prognosis ; negative angiographic findings ; subarachnoid haemorrhage, spontaneous
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary This study concerns 64 patients with angiographically negative subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) hospitalized in the period 1970–1982. Requisites for inclusion in the study were adequate angiographic demonstration of the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems and no clinical signs of spinal SAH or spontaneous intracerebral haematoma. The clinical data on the 64 cases confirm the close similarity, except for the prognostic factors, between angiographically negative SAH and SAH secondary to rupture of an intracranial saccular aneurysm. The study underlines the benign character of the clinical course and of the medium and long-term prognosis of the condition under study. In view of this, the hypothesis advanced sometime ago relating angiographically negative SAH to the rupture of microaneurysms (Ø〈2 mm) of the large cerebral arteries with subsequent complete repair of the artery wall, or to the spontaneous thrombosis of intracranial saccular aneurysms, with the possibility of subsequent recanalization and risk of fresh rupture, would appear to be a reasonable one.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-two cases of unusual intracranial meningioma associated with a cyst are reported and 144 published cases reviewed. The complex mechanisms leading to the formation of the cyst within the meningioma are analyzed on the basis of the surgical and histopathological evidence. The neuroradiological features (Computed Tomography and Angiography) which supply a correct preoperative diagnosis are discussed. It is clear from the literature how difficult preoperative diagnosis is, being possible only in 38% of cases with CT scanning and in 13% with angiography. It is necessary to remove not only the solid portion of the meningioma but also the cyst wall in order to prevent a recurrence. This is technically difficult for the type II intratumoural variety of Nauta's classification.
