Abstract

Objective: To test the a priori hypothesis that longer duration of ruptured membranes is associated with increased risk of vertical transmission of HIV. Design: The relationship between duration of ruptured membranes and vertical transmission of HIV was evaluated in an individual patient data meta-analysis. Methods: Eligible studies were prospective cohort studies including at least 100 mother-child pairs, from regions where HIV-infected women are counselled not to breastfeed. Analyses were restricted to vaginal deliveries and non-elective Cesarean sections; elective Cesarean section deliveries (those performed before onset of labour and before rupture of membranes) were excluded. Results: The primary analysis included 4721 deliveries with duration of ruptured membranes ≤ 24 h. After adjusting for other factors known to be associated with vertical transmission using logistic regression analysis to assess the strength of the relationship, the risk of vertical HIV transmission increased approximately 2% with an increase of 1 h in the duration of ruptured membranes [adjusted odds ratio, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.04; for each 1 h increment]. There were no significant interactions of duration of ruptured membranes with study cohort or with any of the covariates, except maternal AIDS. Among women diagnosed with AIDS, the estimated probability of transmission increased from 8% to 31% with duration of ruptured membranes of 2 h and 24 h respectively (P < 0.01). Conclusions: These results support the importance of duration of ruptured membranes as a risk factor for vertical transmission of HIV and suggest that a diagnosis of AIDS in the mother at the time of delivery may potentiate the effect of duration of ruptured membranes. © 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Abstract

An observational study was planned by the QuABIOS group, to survey the hormonal treatment administered to prostate cancer patients in Italy within a time window of 12 months. We report here a prospective quality of life (QOL) evaluation over time and by hormonal treatment modalities.Patients with diagnosis of prostate cancer and treated with hormonal therapy were eligible for this study. The EORTC QLQ-C30 v.3 questionnaire was administered at enrolment, after 6 months and after 12 months from enrolment.587 patients were enrolled by 33 urological centers. When 1518 visits were considered together independently of time, antiandrogen monotherapy was associated with a significantly better QOL than LHRH-analogue containing treatment modalities in almost all functional scales; cyproterone acetate demonstrated a better physical function and general health status than bicalutamide. When QOL was analyzed in a prospective 12-month window, a worsening of physical function and general health status was observed, notwithstanding, antiandrogens remained significantly associated to a better QOL than LHRH-analogue therapies also over time: a favourable physical function and general health status appeared again to be related to cyproterone acetate than bicalutamide.Androgen deprivation therapy is associated with decline in QOL, particularly in the domains of physical function, energy, and general health status. This survey demonstrated that antiandrogens had a better QOL profile than LHRH-analogue containing therapies;furthermore, a more favourable tolerability for cyproterone acetate as compared to bicalutamide is suggested.

Abstract

Background To evaluate the relation between elective cesarean section and vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we performed a meta-analysis using data on individual patients from 15 prospective cohort studies. Methods North American and European studies of at least 100 mother-child pairs were included in the meta-analysis. Uniform definitions of modes of delivery were used. Elective cesarean sections were defined as those performed before onset of labor and rupture of membranes. Multivariate logistic-regression analysis was used to adjust for other factors known to be associated with vertical transmission. Results The primary analysis included data on 8533 mother-child pairs. After adjustment for receipt of antiretroviral therapy, maternal stage of disease, and infant birth weight, the likelihood of vertical transmission of HIV-1 was decreased by approximately 50 percent with elective cesarean section, as compared with other modes of delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 0.43; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.33 to 0.56). The results were similar when the study population was limited to those with rupture of membranes shortly before delivery. The likelihood of transmission was reduced by approximately 87 percent with both elective cesarean section and receipt of antiretroviral therapy during the prenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal periods, as compared with other modes of delivery and the absence of therapy (adjusted odds ratio, 0.13; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.09 to 0.19). Among mother-child pairs receiving antiretroviral therapy during the prenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal periods, rates of vertical transmission were 2.0 percent among the 196 mothers who underwent elective cesarean section and 7.3 percent among the 1255 mothers with other modes of delivery. Conclusions The results of this meta-analysis suggest that elective cesarean section reduces the risk of transmission of HIV-1 from mother to child independently of the effects of treatment with zidovudine.

Abstract

The use of absorbable staples may allow to reduce the operating time of orthotopic bladder replacement. We report our experience in 14, patients with a modification of the Studer technique using absorbable PolyGIA instruments. The technique has been shown to be simple and quick to perform (time for pouch creation 15–40 minutes, mean 16 minutes) with no significant intraoperative difficulties. Urodynamic data and continence are satisfactory and seem comparable to different procedures and not related to staples' use. The main question remains if the reduced operating time equalizes the high cost of staple devices.

Abstract

CONTEXT: Since the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy, mortality rates in adults with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection have decreased. However, little information is available outside the setting of controlled trials on survival of perinatally HIV-infected children treated with antiretroviral therapy. OBJECTIVE: To assess effect of availability of antiretroviral therapy on decreasing mortality in perinatally HIV-infected children. DESIGN: Population-based, multicenter longitudinal study involving data collected by the Italian Register for HIV Infection in Children. SETTING: A network of 106 pediatric clinical centers. SUBJECTS: A total of 1142 children born between November 1980 and December 1997 with perinatally acquired HIV infection with a median follow-up of 5.9 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Time to HIV-related death calculated for birth cohort and calendar period and grouped by distribution of predominant type of antiretroviral therapy administered over time. RESULTS: Survival was longer in the 1996-1997 birth cohort (crude relative hazard [RH] of death, 0.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.15-0.96) and 1996-1998 calendar period (crude RH of death, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.45-0.95) than in birth cohort and calendar period 1980-1995, but not when adjusted for maternal antiretroviral treatment during pregnancy and clinical condition at time of delivery, gestational age, and birth weight (adjusted RH of death, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.20-1.50, for birth cohort; and adjusted RH of death, 0.71, 95% CI, 0.43-1.16, for calendar period). In a multivariate model with 1980-1995 as comparison, the 1996-1997 birth cohort had an RH of 0.57 (95% CI, 0.22-1.47; P=.27) but RH for calendar period 1996-1998 was 0.63 (95% CI, 0.47-0.85; P

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the impact of early versus deferred combined antiretroviral treatment (ART) in asymptomatic or moderately symptomatic [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) category N, A or B] infants with perinatal HIV-1 infection. Methods: A multi-centre nationwide case-control study was conducted. Data from 30 infants treated with combined ART with three or more drugs before 6 months of age were compared with data from 103 infants starting ART with three or more drugs after 6 months of age. The median follow-up time was 4.1 years (range, 1.0-6.5 years). Results: No difference was evident in the first available viral load and CD4 T-lymphocyte percentage between the two groups of children. Early-treated infants showed significantly lower viral loads than infants receiving deferred treatment at all the follow-up periods. A higher proportion of early-treated infants than infants receiving deferred treatment (73.3% versus 30.1%; P < 0.0001) reached an undetectable viral load. Higher CD4 T-lymphocyte percentages were found in early-treated infants at 13-24 (P < 0.0001), 25-36 (P < 0.0001), and 37-48 (P = 0.003) months of age. No early-treated infant versus 20 of 103 (19.4%) infants receiving deferred ART (P=0.02) showed a CD4 T-lymphocyte percentage of less than 15% at one time point during follow-up. No CDC category A, B or C clinical event occurred in early-treated infants over the follow-up period while 44 of 103 (42.7%) infants receiving deferred treatment presented a decline in the CDC category. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed significant differences in CDC category A (P = 0.0002), B (P = 0.0003), and C (P = 0.0018) event-free survivals. Conclusion: The data suggest virologic, immunologic, and clinical benefits from early administration of ART.

Abstract

Sclerotherapy for hydroceles was performed in 18 patients. Cutaneous anaesthesia was induced with an anaesthetic cream (lidocaine and prilocaine, EMLA cream) and a fibrin sealant (Tissucol) was injected into the sac after fluid aspiration. Patients experienced no pain during needle insertion and sclerosant procedure; 2 recurrences were observed during follow-up. EMLA cream anaesthesia and fibrin adhesive sclerotherapy represent a useful alternative to surgical treatment of hydroceles.

Abstract

Gleason score has been identified as an important variable to predict disease extent and biologic behaviour of prostate cancer. However, the correlation between Gleason score of needle biopsy and surgical specimen is often poor. We studied 72 patients who underwent needle biopsy and radical prostatectomy to correlate Gleason score with PSA, clinical and pathological tumour stage. Only 47.2% of Gleason scores were identical in the biopsy and specimens, 37.5% were undergraded and 15.2% were overgraded. Correlations between clinical and pathological stage were identical in 30.5% of patients, 61.1% of patients were understaged and 8.3% overstaged. In conclusion, accuracy of clinical staging and grading of prostate cancer is low. Although the Gleason score on needle biopsy might be useful to predict the final stage and grade, correlation with surgical specimen is poor.

Abstract

Mitomycin C (MMC) was given intravesically to 14 patients with transitional-cell carcinoma in situ of the bladder (CIS) between 1985 and 1989. Of the 10 patients with complete response two presented progression during the follow-up: one of them in T2 at the 32nd month, and one had a relapse of CIS with diffusion to the prostatic urethra at the 34th month: both patients underwent cystectomy. One patient died of an unrelated cause. At the 48th month 5 out of 7 patients were free from neoplasm. Neoplastic recurrence occurred in 3 patients: one responded to a second endoscopic resection and instillation of MMC, two presented further recurrences. Two patients underwent cystectomy: one for neoplastic progression and one for involvement of the prostatic urethra. MMC seems to be effective in the treatment of CIS of the urinary bladder and the unresponsiveness to chemotherapy must be considered as an adverse prognostic factor for the progression of the neoplasm.

Abstract

In this paper we describe a case of a 71-year-old man affected by left hemidiaphragm agenesis who presented an extensive enterothorax after an asymptomatic history for many years. The patient had late development of severe constipation and occasional episodes of bowel obstruction and vomiting. The surgical correction of this congenital anomaly consisted of restoring the continuity of the diaphragmatic barrier with a 2-mm-thick expanded polytetrafluoroethylene soft tissue patch(Gore-Tex®) after the herniated viscera have been replaced into the abdominal cavity. At 26 months' follow-up no recurrence has been observed. We would suggest that this is the first known elderly patient surgically treated and the eighth case reported in the literature. The use of a single-layer ePTFE mesh allows a good anatomical and functional repair. An overview of the literature is also reported. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
