17. NONTRIVIAL SOLUTIONS OF SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS WITH MEASURE DATA

Author

Scaglia, M, SCAGLIA, MICHELE, Scaglia, M, and SCAGLIA, MICHELE

Abstract

The main subject of this thesis is the study, by a variational approach, of semilinear elliptic problems with measure data. Starting with a semilinear problem with unique solution, we introduce a parametrized perturbation and study the bifurcation phenomena giving rise to further solutions. The main feature is that we are able to use a direct variational approach, even when the semilinearity has no growth assumptions. In this setting, we prove bifurcation results in the line of classical results of Boehme-Marino and Rabinowitz and also global existence results.

Abstract

Malaria is a common, life-threatening infection in endemic tropical areas and one that presents a diagnostic challenge to laboratories in most non-endemic countries. A rapid and accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite for effective treatment, especially for the potentially fatal cases of Plasmodium falciparum infection. In the present, multi-centre study, the performances of a rapid diagnostic test (NOW) Malaria) and several, commercial, PCR-based assays (AMS61, AMS42, AMS43, AMS4 and AMS45) were compared against the results of microscopical examination of bloodsmears (the current 'gold standard'). The subjects were either non-European immigrants (N=135) or international travellers (N=171). There was good concordance between the results of all the detection methods, with kappa values of0.8. Although the NOW Malaria rapid test was both sensitive (100%) and specific (100%) in detecting P. falciparum infections, it was less specific (93.1%) and sensitive (90.7%) in identifying the other Plasmodium species. The results from the AMS61 assay, designed to detect any malarial infection, generally parallelled those of the microscopy (kappa = 0.89), giving a specificity of 98.2% and a sensitivity of 91.0%. Although the use of species-specific molecular primers to identify pure infections with P. falciparum and P. vivax gave results that were in good agreement with those of the microscopy, the subjects who had apparently pure infections with P. ovale or P. malariae were always found PCR-negative. Compared with the standard microscopy, both the NOW Malaria test and the PCR-based assays were therefore poor at identifying mixed infections. The NOW Malaria test and the PCR-based assays clearly need to be improved, particularly for the correct identification of infections with Plasmodium spp. other than P. falciparum, including mixed infections. For now, expert microscopy must remain the mainstay of the laboratory diagnosis of malaria.

25. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS), posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) or acupuncture for the treatment for fecal incontinence : a clinical commentary

Author

Hultén, Leif, Angerås, U., Scaglia, M., Delbro, Dick, Hultén, Leif, Angerås, U., Scaglia, M., and Delbro, Dick

Abstract

Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has become an established therapy worldwide for the treatment for fecal incontinence. A large number of papers have been published over the years, and SNS is generally considered very effective with improved continence and quality of life for most patients. However, the results are mostly expressed in the semi-quantitative terms, that is, patients' diaries translated into score points. The clinical value of SNS is questionable, especially as the patient groups are usually small and/or etiologically heterogenic and the follow-up period mostly short. The Health Technology Assessment organization in the west region of Sweden has recently evaluated the SNS with regard to evidence, efficacy and risks. Economic and ethical aspects raise serious questions on this expensive and not entirely risk-free treatment in routine medical care. Similar criticism has also been raised by other reviewers proposing a more thorough scientific assessment with well-designed randomized trials and comparison with other similar methods of treatment.
