Abstract

We report a case of massive cerebellar infarction in which CT and MRI led to the diagnosis of acute hydrocephalus. All the neurological symptoms cleared after CSF shunting.

Abstract

The results of the carotid artery Doppler ultrasound examination were compared with those of digital subtraction angiography in 256 patients (187 men and 69 women) with carotid bruit. The hemodynamically significant stenoses of more than 50% and the occlusions in the 512 carotid arteries examined were considered and the sensibility, the specificity and the overall accuracy of the Doppler ultrasound examination were calculated. When a carotid stenosis was diagnosed a sensibility of 97%, a specificity of 95% and an overall accuracy of 96% was found, while, for the diagnosis of carotid occlusion, the extimated sensibility, specificity and overall accuracy was 95%. Therefore, the ability to recognize a normal or an occluded carotid artery was of 95% (we found 125 out of 131 normal carotid arteries and 52 out of 55 occluded carotid arteries), whereas a stenotic carotid artery was identified in the 97% of cases (316 out of 326 stenotic carotid arteries). When both diagnoses of carotid stenosis and carotid occlusion were considered together, the extimated sensibility, specificity and overall accuracy were of 98%, 95% and 98% respectively. So the probability of misdiagnosing was of 2% (we made 10 wrong diagnoses out of 512 carotid arteries examined).

3. Regional chemotherapy by a totally infusion pump preceding radiotherapy in advanced cervical carcinoma: a preliminary report

Abstract

The authors report the preliminary results of a prospective study on intra-arterial chemotherapy and radiotherapy of advanced cervix carcinoma. The drugs were delivered by a totally implanted Infusaid Model 400 pump and patients received cyclic therapy consisting of Cis-Platinum, Methotrexate and Bleomycin. The catheter tips were positioned during a laparotomy in the hypogastric arteries with sutures and the pump was implanted in a subcutaneous pouch in the abdomen. After chemotherapy all patients had radiotherapy. Five patients entered in the study. Preliminary results suggest that long-term intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced cervix carcinoma is practical for many patients. Two of five patients, after intra-arterial chemotherapy and radiotherapy, had radical hysterectomy.

Abstract

Different dosages, varying from 250 to 500 mg/die, of ticlopidine per os have been employed in 46 patients (32 men and 14 women), average age 66, who had been admitted for acute non-embolic cerebral infarction. In the two clinical examinations, effected on average 5.4 and 18.3 days after the admission, significant alterations in 9 among the considered items have been noticed, i.e.: central deficit of the VIIth cranial nerve, motor function and gait impairment, Babinski's sign, loss of sensibility, dysarthria, visual field defect, cerebellar signs, motor and/or receptive dysphasia. A global improvement of these clinical signs has been noticed on average in 48.2% of the patients, while an exacerbation has occurred in 2.1% of the cases. None of the patients who have been considered in this study has decreased or has shown relapses of ischemic cerebral attacks during the observation. The treatment with ticlopidine has been discontinued in 3 cases (6.5%) for the occurrence of temporary adverse side-effects.

Abstract

Introduction Delirium and sarcopenia are common, although underdiagnosed, geriatric syndromes. Several pathological mechanisms can link delirium and low skeletal muscle mass, but few studies have investigated their association. We aimed to investigate (1) the association between delirium and low skeletal muscle mass and (2) the possible role of calf circumference mass in finding cases with delirium. Methods The analyses were conducted employing the cross-sectional “Delirium Day” initiative, on patient 65 years and older admitted to acute hospital medical wards, emergency departments, rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices in Italy in 2017. Delirium was diagnosed as a 4 + score at the 4-AT scale. Low skeletal muscle mass was operationally defined as calf circumference ≤ 34 cm in males and ≤ 33 cm in females. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between low skeletal muscle mass and delirium. The discriminative ability of calf circumference was evaluated using non-parametric ROC analyses. Results A sample of 1675 patients was analyzed. In total, 73.6% of participants had low skeletal muscle mass and 24.1% exhibited delirium. Low skeletal muscle mass and delirium showed an independent association (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.09–2.08). In the subsample of patients without a diagnosis of dementia, the inclusion of calf circumference in a model based on age and sex significantly improved its discriminative accuracy [area under the curve (AUC) 0.69 vs 0.57, p Discussion and conclusion Low muscle mass is independently associated with delirium. In patients without a previous diagnosis of dementia, calf circumference may help to better identify those who develop delirium.
