Surgical management of giant uterine leiomyoma

George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Targu Mures,The 8th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, September 24-26, 2020Background. Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor encountered in female genital pathology. It originates from the level of the smooth muscle tissue, and from the morphological point of view, the tumor is well delimited, being surrounded by a pseudocapsule. Etiology is represented by a factors such as, genetic predisposition, sexual steroids and a number of growth factors with role in the processes of angio- and fibrogenesis which are the basis of this pathology, being found in 40-50% of the cases at the age of over 35 years. Case report. `We present the case of a 46-year-old patient who, following a CT scan performed for diffuse abdominal pain and intestinal transit disorders, showed a dense bulky tumor formation, with multiple hyperdense inclusions inside and well-defined areas of necrosis, with maximum axial diameters of 133/168/249 mm (LL / AP / CC), having as a starting point most likely the uterine upper pole A total hysterectomy is performed, with bilateral anexectomy, and the histopathological examination describes a giant subserosal leiomyofibroma of the uterus with signs of hyaline degeneration, left hydrosalpinx with strong stasis of the left tube, follicular hemorrhagic cysts of the left ovary, vascular stasis of the right tube, corpus albicans, corpus fibrosum and hemorrhagic follicular cyst of the right ovary. The objective of this study is to present the surgical management of giant uterine leiomyoma. The patient shows a favorable postoperative evolution and is discharged on 5th day in good general health, hemodynamically and respiratory stable. Conclusions. The annual gynecological screening of female patients leads to the early detection of uterine leiomyomas that can be surgically treated by myomectomy which preserves fertility and avoiding total hysterectomy instead of choosing laparoscopic approach that reduces the days of hospitalization and postop complications

Prevalence, economic impact and therapeutic efficacy in acute infectious pododermatitis in sheep

This study assessed seasonal incidence, economic losses, the efficacy of therapeutic protocols, the recovery time of affected animals and specific prophylactic measures applied to sheep with acute infectious pododermatitis. The studies were conducted over a period of 12 months in 3 different sheep farms from private units in the same area. The results of the study showed an increased incidence of the disease in all 3 farms, with an average of 26.94% of the sheep flock. The incidence of the disease was increased in the months of April-May-June-July and September-October (30%), when there were heavy rains. The high morbidity led to economic losses through the decrease in milk production by approximately 30% and the decrease in the weight of the sheep by 10.58% (4.2 kg) of their normal weight. The therapeutic protocol applied locally as well as parenterally, combined with a foot bath with 10% zinc sulphate solution, were effective in treating acute infectious pododermatitis of sheep. The average recovery time (days) was approximately the same in the three groups of sheep (5.25 ± 0.68 days for cases with moderate diseases and 10.2 ± 0.22 for cases with severe diseases)

Структура летальности от рецидива туберкулеза легких

From the existent data about the mortality through recedived pulmonary tuberculosis there were analyzed specific particularities of these in 2015-2017. So, the mortality through tuberculosis recidived and its complications constitution 1,26%000 in 2015, 1,38%ооо in 2016 and 1,42%000 in 2017. The mortality determined by the respiratory localization of the tuberculosis is much bigger (99,6%) than the one determined by the extrarespiratory localization of the disease (0,4%). The majority of the deaths through tuberculosis are produced in the period of 31-65 years (87,2%). The peak of the mortality curbe at men is the situated at the group of people at the age of 51-65 years and at women — at the group of people at the age of 41-65 yearsDin datele existente privind mortalitatea prin tuberculoza pulmonară recidivată s-au analizat anumite particularităţi ale acesteia în perioada 2015-2017.

Measurement of the forward Z boson production cross-section in pp collisions at s=13\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

A measurement of the production cross-section of Z bosons in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV is presented using dimuon and dielectron final states in LHCb data. The cross-section is measured for leptons with pseudorapidities in the range $2.0 \eta 4.5$, transverse momenta $p_\text{T} 20$ GeV and dilepton invariant mass in the range $60 m(\ell\ell) 120$ GeV. The integrated cross-section from averaging the two final states is \begin{equation*}\sigma_{\text{Z}}^{\ell\ell} = 194.3 \pm 0.9 \pm 3.3 \pm 7.6\text{ pb,}\end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is due to systematic effects, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. In addition, differential cross-sections are measured as functions of the Z boson rapidity, transverse momentum and the angular variable $\phi^*_\eta$

The production of tt‾ , W+bb‾ and W+cc‾ is studied in the forward region of proton–proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98±0.02 fb−1 . The W bosons are reconstructed in the decays W→ℓν , where ℓ denotes muon or electron, while the b and c quarks are reconstructed as jets. All measured cross-sections are in agreement with next-to-leading-order Standard Model predictions.The production of $t\overline{t}$, $W+b\overline{b}$ and $W+c\overline{c}$ is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98 $\pm$ 0.02 \mbox{fb}^{-1}.

SEM and EDS comparative studies about the homogeneity of some cements used for luting of posts

Objectives. The aim of the study was to evaluate comparatively by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS) the physical and chemical homogeneity of some luting materials used for cementation of three types of posts. Materials and method. We selected 12 irretrievable monoradicular teeth extracted in our dental offices. After extraction, all teeth were prepared for cementation with 4 different cements (NANOCORE DUAL, CEMBEST, PANAVIA SA and CEMENT-ONE) of three types of posts: prefabricated titanium post, FibreKleer 4x fiberglass post (Pentron) and post cast from NiCrMo alloy. Afterwards, the samples were embedded in resin and prepared metallographically for examination with the Phenom ProX scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrophotometer with X Rays. Results. SEM studies provide valuable ultrastructural information regarding the degree of filling with luting materials. The four studied cements do not present an inhomogeneous composition in the EDS analysis, not having significantly increased values between the 2 analyzed points for each of the 12 samples taken in the study. Conclusions. Among the four luting materials studied comparatively, PANAVIA SA seems to best fill the existing spaces between posts and the limits of dental preparations, being closely followed by CEMENT-One and CEMBEST. In last place is NANOCORE DUAL, which presents discontinuities in the mass of material and at the border with the preparations

New algorithms for identifying the flavour of B⁰mesons using pions and protons

Two new algorithms for use in the analysis of pp collision are developed to identify the flavour of B0mesons at production using pions and protons from the hadronization process. The algorithms are optimized and calibrated on data, using B0→D-π+ decays from pp collision data collected by LHCb at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV . The tagging power of the new pion algorithm is 60% greater than the previously available one; the algorithm using protons to identify the flavour of a B0meson is the first of its kind.</p

LHCb upgrade software and computing : technical design report

This document reports the Research and Development activities that are carried out in the software and computing domains in view of the upgrade of the LHCb experiment. The implementation of a full software trigger implies major changes in the core software framework, in the event data model, and in the reconstruction algorithms. The increase of the data volumes for both real and simulated datasets requires a corresponding scaling of the distributed computing infrastructure. An implementation plan in both domains is presented, together with a risk assessment analysis
