Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the relationship between intraoperative body temperature and thiol/disulfide balance in geriatric patients scheduled for elective transurethral prostate resection surgery with spinal anesthesia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 71 patients classified as categories 1 and 2, according to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, were included in the study. The core temperature of the patients was recorded in the operating room after monitoring, at 5 and 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia. Total thiols, native thiols, disulfide amounts, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol were calculated as percentages after monitorization (Tpreoperative) and at 60 minutes after spinal anesthesia (Tintraoperative). RESULTS: The disulfide levels in the T intraoperative period (29±8.9 mmol/L) were higher than the disulfide levels measured in the Tpreoperative period (18.2±8.8 mmol/L) (p<0.001). In the Tpreoperative period, the disulfide/native thiol (%) level was 4.6±2, while the disulfide/total thiol (%) level was 4.2±1.6. In the Tintraoperative period, the disulfide/native thiol (%) level was 8±2.3, while the disulfide/total thiol (%) level was 6.8±1.7. Native thiol/total thiol (%) levels for the Tpreoperative and Tintraoperative periods were 91.5±3.3 mmol/L and 86.3±3.4 mmol/L, respectively. A correlation was found between native, total thiol levels and patient age in the Tpreoperative and Tintraoperative periods. CONCLUSIONS: O xidative stress can ber educed in geriatric patients with the possibility of developing involuntary perioperative hypothermia by regularly monitoring body temperature and applying warming techniques.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Burns are a global medical and economic problem. In addition to high costs, the lengthy therapeutic process and the emotional trauma experienced by patients and their families indirectly worsen the socioeconomic damage caused. Kidney failure observed after burns is highly correlated with mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats (age four months, weight 250-350 g) were included in the study. They were randomly assigned into four groups consisting of seven rats each with similar mean weights. Group 1 (n=7) represented the healthy control group (C), Group 2 (n=7) the Sham+dexmedetomidine (DEX) 100 mcg/kg (three doses) (S+DEX100) group, Group 3 (n=7) the 30% Burn (B), and Group 4 (n=7) the 30% Burn+-DEX 100 mcg/kg/day group (B+DEX100) (three doses). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total thiol (TT), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) values in kidney tissues were investigated biochemically, and histopathological analyses were also performed. Nuclear factor B (NF-B)/p65 was measured using immunohistochemistry, and the TUNEL assay was applied to indicate apoptotic tubular epithelial cells. RESULTS: TBARS, IL-1, and TNF-a in kidney tissues decreased in the B+DEX100 group compared to the 30% burn group, while total thiol values increased. Histopathologically, atypical glomeruli, particularly necrotic tubules, and inflammation in peritubular areas decreased in the B+DEX100 group compared to the 30% burn group. In addition, apoptotic tubular epithelial cells exhibiting TUNEL positivity and tubular epithelial cells exhibiting NF-ß/p65 positivity also decreased in the B+DEX100 group compared to the 30% burn group. CONCLUSIONS: Dexmedetomidine reduced apoptotic activity in rats and exhibited anti-inflammatory antioxidant effects in the burn model in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Reconstructing ear defects using the revolving door Island flap: A case series

Author

Franco-Muñoz, M, Romero-Aguilera, G, Flores-Terry, M, González Ruíz, L, Rogel Vence, M, Sánchez Caminero, MP, and García-Arpa, M

Abstract

Defects of the anterior region of the pinna pose a reconstruction challenge owing to the complex topography and difficult access. We report our experience using the revolving door island flap (RDIF) to reconstruct pinna defects and present the surgical results.

8. Acral Hemorrhagic Darier Disease

Author

Flores-Terry, M.Á., García-Arpa, M., Llamas-Velasco, M., Mendoza-Chaparro, C., and Ramos-Rodríguez, C.

Abstract

Darier disease is an autosomal-dominant inherited condition caused by mutation of a gene, which produces a protein involved in calcium channel regulation. The disease has a variety of manifestations and lacks consistent genotype–phenotype correlations. Acral hemorrhagic Darier disease causes macules, papules, vesicles and/or hemorrhagic blisters on the extremities. Other classic signs of the disease may be present in the same patient or relatives. Histopathology reveals dyskeratosis and suprabasal acantholysis with hemorrhagic lacunae. We report 3 new cases of this type of Darier disease triggered by injuries. Response to retinoid therapy was good.

23. Interobserver Reliability of Store-and-Forward Teledermatology in a Clinical Practice Setting

Author

Romero Aguilera, G., Cortina de la Calle, P., Vera Iglesias, E., Sánchez Caminero, P., García Arpa, M., and Garrido Martín, J.A.

Abstract

Although many studies have evaluated the diagnostic reliability of store-and-forward (SF) teledermatology, the reliability of the technique for the diagnosis of general skin conditions in a clinical practice setting has never been demonstrated. We evaluated the reliability of SF teledermatology in clinical practice by analyzing the diagnostic agreement achieved in a subgroup of patients from the DERMATEL-2 study.

24. Fiabilidad de la teledermatología de almacenamiento en un escenario real

Author

Romero Aguilera, G., Cortina de la Calle, P., Vera Iglesias, E., Sánchez Caminero, P., García Arpa, M., and Garrido Martín, J.A.

Abstract

Aunque existen múltiples estudios de fiabilidad diagnóstica en teledermatología de almacenamiento (TDA), aún no se ha demostrado una fiabilidad elevada para enfermedad general cutánea en un escenario real. DERMATEL-2 fue un estudio aleatorizado de concordancia diagnóstica en TDA en condiciones de práctica clínica.

27. Telemedicine and Teledermatology (I): Concepts and Applications

Author

Romero, G., Garrido, J.A., and García-Arpa, M.

Abstract

Telemedicine refers to the use of telecommunications technology to provide health care and medical information. The practice of medicine—and dermatology in particular—is undergoing a great upheaval due to advances in information technology. This article briefly reviews the origin, development, applications, benefits, methodology, and components of telemedicine. Specifically, we will analyze the types and applications of teledermatology, paying particular attention to technical, organizational, and legal aspects.

36. Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia

Author

Vera-Iglesias, E., García-Arpa, M., Sánchez-Caminero, P., Romero-Aguilera, G., and Cortina de la Calle, P.

Abstract

Focal epithelial hyperplasia is a rare disease of the oral mucosa caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). It appears as a benign epithelial growth, usually in the mucosa of the lower lip. It is mainly associated with HPV serotypes 13 and 32 and there is a clear racial predilection for the disease in Native Americans and Eskimos. We describe the case of a 17-year-old girl from Ecuador with multiple papular lesions in both lips that were clinically and histologically consistent with focal epithelial hyperplasia. Analysis by polymerase chain reaction detected HPV serotype 13.
