Acţiunea preparatului „Nucina” asupra concentraţiei T-limfocitelor în patologia recidivantă a căilor respiratorii superioare la copii
Analiza conţinutului limfocitelor T şi subpopulaţiilor şi limfocitelor B în cazul infecţiilor
recidivante ale căilor respiratorii la copii demonstrează că conţinutul limfocitelor T şi TFS-T la internare era redus. La bolnavii din ambele grupuri se determină componentul alergic. Sub acţiunea preparatului Nucuna conţinutul modificat al celulelor imunocompetente se normalizează, de asemenea şi corelaţia lor. Modificări mai semnificative au avut loc în grupul de bolnavi care au primit terapie complexă cu utilizarea preparatului Nucina
Network Plasticity and Intraoperative Mapping for Personalized Multimodal Management of Diffuse Low-Grade Gliomas
International audienceGliomas are the most frequent primary brain tumors and include a variety of different histological tumor types and malignancy grades. Recent achievements in terms of molecular and imaging fields have created an unprecedented opportunity to perform a comprehensive interdisciplinary assessment of the glioma pathophysiology, with direct implications in terms of the medical and surgical treatment strategies available for patients. The current paradigm shift considers glioma management in a comprehensive perspective that takes into account the intricate connectivity of the cerebral networks. This allowed significant improvement in the outcome of patients with lesions previously considered inoperable. The current review summarizes the current theoretical framework integrating the adult human brain plasticity and functional reorganization within a dynamic individualized treatment strategy for patients affected by diffuse low-grade gliomas. The concept of neuro-oncology as a brain network surgery has major implications in terms of the clinical management and ensuing outcomes, as indexed by the increased survival and quality of life of patients managed using such an approach
Imaging diagnosis and the role of endovascular embolization treatment for vascular intraspinal tumors
Intraspinal tumors comprise a large spectrum of neoplasms, including hemangioblastomas, paragangliomas, and meningiomas. These tumors have several common characteristic imaging features, such as highly vascular mass appearance in angiography, hypointense rim and serpentine flow voids in MRI, and intense enhancement after intravenous contrast administration. Due to their rich vascularity, these tumors represent a special challenge for surgical treatment. More recently, the surgical treatment of intraspinal vascular tumors has benefited from the combination of endovascular techniques used to better delineate these lesions and to promote preoperative reduction of volume and tissue blood flow. Endovascular embolization has been proven to be a safe procedure that facilitates the resection of these tumors; hence, it has been proposed as part of the standard of care in their management
