Introduction
The treatment of portal hypertension is complex and the the best strategy depends on the underlying disease (cirrhosis vs. schistosomiasis), patient''s clinical condition and time on it is performed (during an acute episode of variceal bleeding or electively, as pre-primary, primary or secondary prophylaxis). With the advent of new pharmacological options and technical development of endoscopy and interventional radiology treatment of portal hypertension has changed in recent decades.Aim
To review the strategies employed in elective and emergency treatment of variceal bleeding in cirrhotic and schistosomotic patients.Methods
Survey of publications in PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, SciELO and Cochrane databases through June 2013, using the headings: portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric varices, variceal bleeding, liver cirrhosis, schistosomiasis mansoni, surgical treatment, pharmacological treatment, secondary prophylaxis, primary prophylaxis, pre-primary prophylaxis.Conclusion
Pre-primary prophylaxis doesn''t have specific treatment strategies; the best recommendation is treatment of the underlying disease. Primary prophylaxis should be performed in cirrhotic patients with beta-blockers or endoscopic variceal ligation. There is controversy regarding the effectiveness of primary prophylaxis in patients with schistosomiasis; when indicated, it is done with beta-blockers or endoscopic therapy in high-risk varices. Treatment of acute variceal bleeding is systematized in the literature, combination of vasoconstrictor drugs and endoscopic therapy, provided significant decline in mortality over the last decades. TIPS and surgical treatment are options as rescue therapy. Secondary prophylaxis plays a fundamental role in the reduction of recurrent bleeding, the best option in cirrhotic patients is the combination of pharmacological therapy with beta-blockers and endoscopic band ligation. TIPS or surgical treatment, are options for controlling rebleeding on failure of secondary prophylaxis. Despite the increasing evidence of the effectiveness of pharmacological and endoscopic treatment in schistosomotic patients, surgical therapy still plays an important role in secondary prophylaxis. 相似文献3.

Three-dimensional (3-D) echocardiography uses sequentially acquired tomography echocardiographic data, which is gated to the cardiac cycle, to reconstruct 3-D views of the heart. So far, this technique has been used primarily to evaluate left-sided heart structures. This report focuses on congenital and acquired right-sided heart pathologies that have been visualized by 3-D echocardiography. In addition to reviewing the literature, several representative figures are included illustrating the unique ability of 3-D echo to elucidate complex right heart anatomy. After a brief introduction to the technical aspects of 3-D echocardiography, the discussion centers on evaluation of congenital heart disease and right-sided masses, determination of right ventricular mass and volume, and evaluation of right-sided valvular heart disease. Congenital heart diseases that are reviewed include atrial septal defect (location, size, efficacy of repair), ventricular septal defect, and congenital heart disease in the fetus being evaluated in utero. Evaluation of right-sided masses, including tumors, vegetations, and thrombi, is reviewed. Methods of determining right ventricular volume and mass using 3-D echo are discussed. Evaluation of valvular heart disease, including Doppler analysis of regurgitant flow, is examined. Finally, special attention is given to the perioperative and intraoperative use of 3-D echocardiography for patients with these conditions. The conclusion summarizes the current and potential future uses of 3-D echocardiography. 相似文献

The following study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of
Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains from fresh and frozen oysters
Crassostrea rhizophorae sold in Fortaleza-Brazil. An antibiogram
was performed on 87 isolates using nine antibiotics: gentamicin (Gen 10 µg),
ampicillin (Amp 10 µg), penicillin G (Pen 10U), ciprofloxacin (Cip 5 µg),
chloramphenicol (Chl 30 µg), nalidixic acid (Nal 30 µg), tetracycline (Tet 30 µg),
vancomycin (Van 30 µg) and erythromycin (Ery 15 µg). All strains were resistant to at
least one antibiotic, and 85 (97.7%) were multi-resistant, with predominance of the
Van+ Pen+Amp resistance profile (n = 46). Plasmid resistance to Pen, Amp and Ery was
detected. Thus, the risk that raw oyster consumption poses to the health of consumers
is highlighted, due to the fact that these bivalves may host antibacterial-resistant
microorganisms. 相似文献

Mutations in the SCN5A gene, which encodes the cardiac sodium channel, have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia syndromes and conduction disease. Specific SCN5A mutations had initially been considered to cause specific phenotypes. More recently, some SCN5A mutations have been associated with overlap syndromes, characterized by phenotypic heterogeneity within and between mutation carriers. Here we report and associate the presence of the p.Y1449C SCN5A mutation in a single family with a spectrum of cardiac phenotypes including conduction disease, Brugada syndrome and atrial arrhythmias, for the first time to our knowledge. 相似文献

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a dynamic process of bone modeling involving osteoclast-driven resorption on the compression side. Consequently, to estimate the influence of various situations on tooth movement, experimental studies need to analyze this cell.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to test and validate a new method for evaluating osteoclastic activity stimulated by mechanical loading based on the fractal analysis of the periodontal ligament (PDL)-bone interface.Material and Methods
The mandibular right first molars of 14 rabbits were tipped mesially by a coil spring exerting a constant force of 85 cN. To evaluate the actual influence of osteoclasts on fractal dimension of bone surface, alendronate (3 mg/Kg) was injected weekly in seven of those rabbits. After 21 days, the animals were killed and their jaws were processed for histological evaluation. Osteoclast counts and fractal analysis (by the box counting method) of the PDL-bone interface were performed in histological sections of the right and left sides of the mandible.Results
An increase in the number of osteoclasts and in fractal dimension after OTM only happened when alendronate was not administered. Strong correlation was found between the number of osteoclasts and fractal dimension.Conclusions
Our results suggest that osteoclastic activity leads to an increase in bone surface irregularity, which can be quantified by its fractal dimension. This makes fractal analysis by the box counting method a potential tool for the assessment of osteoclastic activity on bone surfaces in microscopic examination. 相似文献8.

Chronic infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the main risk factors for the
development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the emergence
of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in non-cirrhotic HCV patients, especially after
sustained virological response (SVR) is an unusual event. Recently, it has been
suggested that HCV genotype 3 may have a particular oncogenic mechanism, but the
factors involved in these cases as well as the profile of these patients are still
not fully understood. Thus, we present the case of a non-cirrhotic fifty-year-old
male with HCV infection, genotype 3a, who developed HCC two years after treatment
with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin, with SVR, in Brazil. 相似文献

In this era of decreasing reimbursement, health systems have been forced to become more efficient and decrease resource utilization to remain financially viable. One of the methods of internal cost control has been the use of clinical pathways. Given the complexity of treatment of head and neck cancer patients, clinical pathways can help to standardize decision making and introduce uniformity in resource utilization. The objective of this study is to compare resource utilization and outcomes before and after implementation of a clinical pathway for head and neck surgical patients. We observed significant decreases in hospital costs as well as shorter lengths of stay after pathway implementation. It is our belief that a uniform management tool is beneficial in this complex disease. 相似文献
