Cartolano, Carola <1981>. "Valutazione clinica della vitalità del neonato e valutazione istologica della placenta nella specie canina." Doctoral thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2016. http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/7648/1/Cartolano_Carola_tesi.pdf.
Full textPlacenta has been described as the "diary of intrauterine life" and it has the potential to clarify many aspects of pre- and post-natal period. The following investigation aims to study and describe the pathological macroscopic and histological aspects of canine placentas at the end of the pregnancy, with the related clinical and pathological correlations between placental findings and neonatal outcome. The purpose of this study was to apply, for the first time in the canine species, an image analysis technique (ImagJ) in order to assess some histological features of placenta, in particular the placental microvasculature. The study also aims to verify if these placental modifications can affect the puppy's health, as well as to correlate the clinical parameters of the newborn, such as Apgar score, temperature, blood glucose and lactate assessed at birth and two hours later, among themselves and with the type of delivery (spontaneous, emergency cesarean and planned caesarean). This study includes clinical data and histological material from placentas collected from 33 bitches and 144 puppies between January 2013 and December 2015. It emerged that placenta is a plastic and adaptable organ that suffers of the "effect of litter size" with an increase of the capillary density in smaller placentas obtained in bigger litters. The influence of lobular histological lesions on the outcome of the puppy should be considered irrelevant, the same cannot be said for multi-lobular ones. Moreover, it seems that the clinical parameters of the puppy are affected by the type of delivery. In fact, lactatemia and body temperature at birth appear to be higher in case of natural delivery, while glycaemia at birth is higher in case of planned caesarean section. On the contrary, it seems that the Apgar score and the survival at 24 hours are not influenced by the different types of birth.

Full textOncocytic cardiomyopathy (HC) is a rare, arrhythmogenic disorder characterized by cardiomegaly, severe cardiac arrhythmias,sudden death and by the presence of characteristic histiocyte-like cells within the myocardium. It affect infants younger than 2 years of age with a female:male ratio of 3:1. Theprevalence is unknownbut, to date, less than 100 patients in the world have been described. Clinically, the disease may manifest as various types of incessant arrhythmia (supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia, atrial and ventricular fibrillation, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), and frequently sudden death due to cardiac arrest is a common occurrenceat the time ofinitial diagnosis.This work report a case of oncocytic cardiomyopathy in a 16 months-old girl, with dysrhythmia and progressive myocardial dysfunction requiring cardiac transplantation.The analysis, by next generation sequencing (Solexamethod), of 126genesinvolved in differentcardiomyopathies/channelopathies, has allowedthe identification of twonewpotentiallypathogenicmutationsin twodifferention channels: calcium L-type channelandsodium channelNa(V)1.5. In particular, an insertionin the geneCACNA2D1(NC_000007.13: g.81603880_81603881insAA), andasingle nucleotide polymorphismin the geneRANGFR(MOG-1) (NP_057576.2: p.Pro155Ser/NC_000017.10: g.8193156C>T) were identified; both variantshave neverbeen described beforein the literature, butthe channels involvedare responsible fornormalmyocardial contractilityandaction potential propagation.

Full textActinic keratoses (AKs), also known as solar keratosis or keratinocytic intraepidermal neoplasia, are the most common neoplasms within the continuum of keratinocyte skin cancer. Although AKs have been historically defined as “precancerous” or “premalignant,” more recent histopathologic and molecular studies support their current classification as earliest stage of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ. Prevalence estimates of AK range between 1% and 44% in the adult population. Skin type and cumulative sunlight exposure are major risk factors for both AK and SCC. Once developed, AK may follow one of three different pathways: regression, persistence, or progression to in situ or invasive SCC. Although the actual risk of an individual AK progressing to invasive SCC is unclear, estimations vary from as low as 0.1% to as high as 20%. Various study in literature have considered the clinical and histological aspect of AK but in particular no author has ever classified clinical, dermoscopical and histological peculiar features of non-responder AK. Our project want to follow up the non-responder AK to understand if there are some characteristics than can predict this comportment and the potential evolution versus SCC. The main objective is evaluated the histological feature of AK (single or on field cancerization) that not responder at least two specific treatment including cryosurgery, Ingenol Mebutate, imiquimod, PDT, diclofenac 3% and 5% fluorouracile. In addition to the primary objective, we will consider the following items: clinical feature of non-responder AK; videodermatoscopy aspect of non-responder AK and we evaluate, if possible, the risk of an individual non responder AK progressing to invasive SCC.

Full textItaly has introduced a support for adults affected by psychiatric disorders called IESA (Inserimento Eterofamiliare Supportato di Adulti) as an alternative to hospital facilities institutionalization, and other types of residential care. Patients are accommodated and supported in private homes, sharing the family life. The aim is the rehabilitation and social integration of patients with a better quality of life. Objective. Purpose of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the outcome of IESA considering psychopathology, psychological and social well-being and family functioning. Methods. 40 subjects: 20 patients and 20 hosts. Clinical assessment was performed at the beginning of cohabitation and at follow-ups after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Psychometric instruments: BPRS, GAF, PWB, SQ, FAD. Statistical analysis: General Linear Model with repeated measures analysis of variance and effect-size calculation. Results. 15 male and 5 female patients, 17 of them Italians. Eleven patients meet DSM-IV-TR for schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, 5 for mood disorders and 4 for personality disorders. After living with a family 3 were hospitalized and 4 required emergency psychiatric assessment. Eight patients changed or decreased psychopharmacotherapy and 3 patients didn’t need it anymore. The psychological well-being (PWB) increased; psychopathological symptoms (BPRS/SQ) decreased and level of functioning (GAF) improved. Families included 11 men and 9 women, 19 of them Italians. Eleven people work and 8 are retired. Mean age: 55 years. Marital status: 8 married, 6 unmarried, 4 divorced and 2 widowed and 9 of them have children. Psychological well-being (PWB) of families increases, functioning family (FAD) improved and global functioning (GAF) remained constant over time. Discussions and conclusions. IESA seems to improve psychopathology, reducing maladaptive behaviours, increasing patient’s social skills and promoting integration. In addition, IESA appears to decrease the costs of chronic psychiatric disorders, reducing access emergency medical services, urgent psychiatric assessment and days of hospitalization.

Full textIntroduction. Despite the pain is a common experience to all human beings, it is still very difficult to give a comprehensive definition both physical and psychological. Up till now, mental pain has been understudied The main objective of the following research project is to outline a more accurate definition of the mental pain construct, to verify the applicability of the Orbach and Mikulincer Mental Pain Scale (OMMP) in the psychological evaluation and validation of the Italian version of such tool. Methodology. Three studies were conducted: the first one, on a sample of 15 subjects, to verify and confirm the validity of the OMMP face; the second, conducted on a sample of 442 subjects, as well as investigate the socio-demographic characteristics associated with the mental pain dimension, focuses on the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the instrument; the third instead, was performed in order to verify the factorial structure and investigate the relation between mental pain and other psychological constructs (n = 728). Results. From the data obtained it is possible to outline the socio-demographic profile of the subjects of the general population with a higher level of mental pain: being young, maiden / celibate and have a lower level of education. The factorial explorative analysis, has not confirmed the eight-dimensional structure described by the authors, revealing a four one (19 item), and indexes of the confirmatory factorial analysis support it. Finally, the dimensions of the pain are shown correlated with the psychological distress. Discussions and conclusions. This work confirmed the multidimensionality of mental pain construct in the Italian population and also confirmed the validity and reliability of the OMMP_19_ITA. Within different psychopathological was detected the presence of a higher level of mental pain.

Full textCanine leishmaniasis (LCan) caused by Leishmania infantum is an important zoonosis in many parts of the world and the dog is the main reservoir of the parasite to humans. The type of immune response that those affected put in place strongly influences the progression of the disease: the animals do not develop adequate cell-immune mediated response show clinical symptoms despite having a strong but ineffective humoral response that contributes to worsening the clinical symptoms . The objective of this study was to evaluate a descriptive standpoint, signaling, clinical and clinicopathological signs of leishmaniasis patients taken to visit at the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences during the period from January 2003 to March 2012 with particular attention to the impact of kidney disease and anemia in the clinical picture of LCan. Based on the results obtained it was possible to say that leishmaniasis is a relatively common disease in our clinical practice and that the clinical features and clinicopathological features are similar to those reported in the literature. Our preliminary results suggest that in this disease, renal involvement and systemic consequences can be predominant in the clinical and laboratory findings. The severity of the clinical picture is significantly associated with the extent of the humoral response and subsequent glomerular involvement in the context of a chronic systemic inflammatory response. Subsequently, we measured the concentrations of IgG and IgM in the course of follow-up in some of the subjects included in the study and subjected to different anti-Leishmania treatment. By preliminary results obtained in our work it has been possible to state that in the course of treatment, the concentrations of these immunoglobulins undergo a progressive reduction thus confirming the effectiveness of anti-Leishmania treatment not only in the remission of clinical symptoms but also in the restoration of normal humoral response.

Full textIntroduction: Canine Leishmaniasis (CanL) is an infectious disease transmitted by the carrier and supported by a protozoan, Leishmania infantum. The CanL has become increasingly important in both veterinary medicine than in human medicine. Leishmaniasis is strongly associated with the development of a chronic nephropathy. Study design: retrospective cohort study. Objective: To identify the clinicopathologic changes prevailing at the time of admission and during follow-up of the patient, to identify those with a greater prognostic value. Materials and methods: 167 dogs, for a total of 187 cases treated with serological diagnosis and / or cytological diagnosis of leishmaniasis and complete data biochemistry, serum electrophoresis, urinalysis and urinary biochemistry including proteinuria (UPC) and albuminuria (UAC), coagulation profile (ATIII, d-dimers, fibrinogen) and markers of inflammation (CRP). Of patients included was followed the clinical follow-up and clinicopathologic for a time period of two years and were considered. Results: The main alteration clinicopathological were anemia (41%), iperprotidemia (42%), hyperglobulinaemia (75%), hypoalbuminemia (66%), increased CRP (57%), increased UAC (78%), increased UPC (70%), inadequate urine specific gravity (54%) and reduction of ATIII (52%). 37% of patients were not proteinuric and of these 27% had pathologic albuminuria. 38% of patients had a nephrotic proteinuria (UPC> 2.5) and 22% was azotemic. The clinicopathological parameters showed a tendency to return to normal after the 90th day of follow-up. Serum creatinine, using a multivariate analysis, was found to be the parameter most correlated with patient outcome. Conclusion: results obtained on the basis of the outcome of the patients showed that the patients who died during follow-up, at the time of admission had higher and worsening serum Creatinine, UAC and UPC. In addition, the UAC can be considered an early marker of kidney disease and the presence of azotemia on admission, in these patients, it has a negative prognostic value.

Full textAnticoagulant rodenticides (AR) are the most commonly used pesticides. They inhibit vitamin K epoxide reductase stopping vitamin K recycling. This will cause depletion of active coagulation factors II-VII-IX-X potentially leading to spontaneous bleeding. The first aim of this study is to measure acute phase proteins in 102 naturally affected dogs by AR intoxication, included in group 0. Two control populations of 102 randomly healthy (group 1) and sick (group 2) dogs were created and matched to group 0 for age, sex (including neutered status), and breed. In particular C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration was significantly (p<0.001) higher in group 0 (median 4.77 mg/dl) versus group 1 (median 0.02 mg/dl) and group 2(median, 0.37 mg/dl). The inflammatory process associated with hemorrhage is probably responsible for the higher CRP concentration. In group 0,CRP concentration was higher in non survivors vs survivors (p=0.04). CRP may be a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker in dogs with AR intoxication. The second aim of this study is to evaluate time to normalisation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT) and prothrombin time (PT) after 5 mg/kg intravenously(IV) vitamin K treatment in 73 dogs with naturally AR intoxication. Four hours and 8 hours post-vitamin K administration (T4 and T8) a coagulation profile was repeated. There was a significant decrease in aPTT and PT between T0 and T4 (p<0.0001). All 73 dogs survived to discharge, none received blood transfusion or had an adverse reaction to IV vitamin k, and by T4 no dogs showed clinical signs of ongoing of external bleeding. This protocol with IV vitamin K administration seems to be safe and effective in treatment of dogs with naturally occurring AR intoxication. Epidemiology of AR intoxication in dogs and determination of responsible compounds by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry has been also evaluated.

Full textAnticoagulant rodenticides (AR) are the most commonly used pesticides. They inhibit vitamin K epoxide reductase stopping vitamin K recycling. This will cause depletion of active coagulation factors II-VII-IX-X potentially leading to spontaneous bleeding. The first aim of this study is to measure acute phase proteins in 102 naturally affected dogs by AR intoxication, included in group 0. Two control populations of 102 randomly healthy (group 1) and sick (group 2) dogs were created and matched to group 0 for age, sex (including neutered status), and breed. In particular C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration was significantly (p<0.001) higher in group 0 (median 4.77 mg/dl) versus group 1 (median 0.02 mg/dl) and group 2(median, 0.37 mg/dl). The inflammatory process associated with hemorrhage is probably responsible for the higher CRP concentration. In group 0,CRP concentration was higher in non survivors vs survivors (p=0.04). CRP may be a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker in dogs with AR intoxication. The second aim of this study is to evaluate time to normalisation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT) and prothrombin time (PT) after 5 mg/kg intravenously(IV) vitamin K treatment in 73 dogs with naturally AR intoxication.

Full textPrimary aldosteronism is an endocrine disease characterized by hypertension and several cardiovascular, renal and metabolic complications. The pathogenetic mechanisms that explain the relationship between PA and the development of such complications are still unknown but adipose tissue could play a key role. The aims of this study were: 1) to evaluate the cardiovascular risk (CVR) according to the ESH-ESC Guidelines in 102 patients with PA at diagnosis and after treatment, and compare it with the CVR of 132 patients with essential hypertension (EH) matched for age, sex and duration of hypertension, 2) to study the expression of genes involved in glucolipid metabolism and inflammation in adipose tissue of patients with aldosterone- producing adenoma (APA) who underwent adrenalectomy. For the clinical study, in addition to the grading of hypertension, we evaluated the lipid profile, fasting glucose and glucose tolerance test, waist circumference, renal function, family history, smoking habit, comorbidities and we performed echocardiographic and carotid ultrasound studies. For the molecular study we performed microarray analysis followed by real-time PCR on adipose tissue samples of 16 patients with APA and 10 patients with non-functioning adrenal adenoma, to quantify the expression of selected genes (hexokinase 1, IL- 1R1, IL-6-25-hydroxylase cholesterol, lipoprotein lipase, omentin, visfatin). The CVR was higher in PA patients than in EH for the presence of higher blood pressure values, higher prevalence of hyperglycemia, metabolic syndrome, smoking habit and left ventricular hypertrophy. After treatment, the CVR was reduced in both populations and became comparable between PA and EH, although the PA group presented higher blood pressure levels, due to the reduction of several risk factors and a partial regression of organ damage . We also found an increased gene expression of interleukin 6, a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the development of insulin resistance and vascular disease, in omental adipose tissue of patients with APA, which can be likely claimed, at least in part, as contributor to the pathogenesis of the cardiometabolic syndrome frequently observed in these subjects.

Full textQuesta tesi tratta l'analisi automatica di immagini a colori del fondo dell'occhio. In particolare, essa si focalizza sul progetto di una fundus camera ad ottica adattiva per l’aquisizione di fundus retinici e sull’implementazione di software per l’analisi e la valutazione quantitativa delle retinopatie, prevalentemente ipertensiva e diabetica come naturale ricaduta dei metodi sviluppati. Sia l'ipertensione che il diabete colpiscono, anche se con modalità e decorso temporale differente, il microcircolo sanguigno. La retinopatia è una delle conseguenze di tale danno circolatorio. La retina ed i vasi retinici sono assai sensibili a cambiamenti nella microcircolazione: è stato dimostrato che i singoli segni della retinopatia hanno un alto valore prognostico per infarto, sclerosi carotidea e danno coronarico. Inoltre, la retinopatia è una malattia sociale, con una ricaduta economica (diretta ed indiretta) elevata: la perdita o la diminuzione della capacità visiva porta infatti ad una ridotta capacità lavorativa e all’impossibilità di condurre una vita indipendente. Nonostante anche altri organi siano sensibili ad alterazioni del microcircolo sanguigno, la retina ha il grande vantaggio di essere facilmente disponibile ad un controllo non invasivo. Tale caratteristica suggerisce un modo efficiente ed efficace per seguire il decorso di malattie sistemiche associate alla retinopatia. Inoltre, con riguardo alla prevenzione della perdita della vista, il riconoscimento della retinopatia al suo insorgere è il punto più critico per evitare che degeneri in cecità. Ciò è particolarmente importante nella retinopatia diabetica in cui, allo stato attuale della farmacologia, i danni alla retina non recedono con il trattamento farmacologico o col controllo del diabete. Sfortunatamente, le fasi iniziali della retinopatia sono quasi asintomatiche. Un programma di screening potrebbe evitare alla maggior parte della popolazione a rischio lo sviluppo di retinopatie che minaccino la vista. Allo stesso tempo, nel mondo occidentale non ci sono abbastanza risorse, sia in termine di tempo che soprattutto in termine di disponibiltà di oftalmologi esperti, per organizzare uno screening di tal genere. E’ dunque forte il bisogno di uno strumento che valuti automaticamente la retina, per diagnosticare la presenza e la severità dell'eventuale retinopatia. Le attuali fundus camera sono in grado di compensare l'aberrazione di fuori fuoco introdotta dall'occhio tramite sistemi mobili di ottiche interne, ma non possono correggere l'astigmatismo oppure le aberrazioni di ordine superiore. Nei primi capitoli della presente tesi si descriverà la realizzazione del prototipo di un sistema di acquisizione che consenta di compensare anche quel tipo di aberrazioni, permettendo così in linea teorica di ottenere immagini di elevata qualità del fondo retinico, anche in pazienti soggetti ad aberrazioni elevate. Le immagini digitalizzate ad alta risoluzione del fondo retinico saranno poi elaborate da algoritmi d’analisi, descritti nella seconda parte della tesi, dedicati alla diagnosi automatica di alcune patologie dell'occhio. Il concetto di base dello strumento d’acquisizione sviluppato nei nostri laboratori è quello di inserire lungo il cammino ottico di una fundus camera un'ottica adattiva DM (Deformable Mirror). Il principale problema delle fundus camera convenzionali è che l'informazione per adattare la forma del DM per compensare le aberrazioni presenti è fornita da un complesso e costoso analizzatore di fronte d’onda. La soluzione proposta consiste nel proiettare un pattern noto sul fondo della retina e di acquisirne l’immagine con un sensore dedicato. Analizzando in tempo reale quest’immagine con opportuni algoritmi, sarà possibile ottenere le indicazioni su come l'ottica adattiva debba essere opportunamente deformata per ridurre l'aberrazione introdotta dall’occhio e permettere di acquisire immagini ad alta definizione e senza distorsioni anche in pazienti affetti da aberrazioni non compensabili con le fundus camera ora disponibili. Nonostante test di simulazione su banco ottico abbiano fornito risultati preliminari incoraggianti, la realizzazione di una fundus camera adatta all’utilizzo clinico/diagnostico ha incontrato limitazioni di carattere tecnico relative alla prototipazione dello strumento in ambienti non controllati. L’incidenza dei riflessi spuri, introdotti nel sistema ottico dall’ambiente circostante, sul rapporto segnale-rumore del segnale acquisito sarà materia di ricerca del prossimo futuro. Le immagini del fondo oculare, ricavate da dataset da noi collezionati e da altri già utilizzati per indagini scientifiche da altri gruppi di ricerca, saranno analizzate con algoritmi sviluppati ad-hoc, in grado di ricavare importanti parametri clinici per la diagnosi delle retinopatie, con particolare attenzione a quelle ipertensiva e diabetica. Nell’ambito di questa tesi saranno prese in esame le features dell’apparato vascolare: l’identificazione del reticolo dei vasi (arterie e vene), consentirà la misurazione i suoi principali descrittori geometrici (lunghezza, direzione, calibro, presenza di biforcazioni, etc.); da questi saranno calcolati specifici indici di rilievo diagnostico, che forniranno ai clinici informazioni sul grado complessivo di retinopatia del paziente, la cui significatività è molto importante per la diagnosi delle patologie retiniche. Gli algoritmi presentati in questa tesi rendono possibile pensare ad uno strumento utilizzato sia in ampi programmi di screening delle retinopatia ipertensiva e diabetica, sia per il controllo nel tempo del progredire della malattia. La loro utilià è triplice. In primo luogo, potrebbero essere uno strumento diagnostico di aiuto alla pratica clinica. In secondo luogo, i dettagli quantitativi sulle struttura vascolare della retina potrebbero essere utili nella ricerca medica e per meglio caratterizzare gli sviluppi della retinopatia. Infine, nell’ambito della ricerca farmaceutica, si renderebbe disponibile l'utilizzo di una misura quantitativa e riproducibile dell'evoluzione della retinopatia durante un trattamento farmacologico. Il software riguardante l’identificazione delle strutture vascolari retiniche è al momento oggetto di valutazione clinica presso il Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin, USA, il cui Fundus Photograph Reading Center ha espressamente dichiarato la sua volontà nell’acquisire il programma come standard per la determinazione di features diagnostiche, quali gli indici CRAE, CRAE e AVR, come indicatiori del “generalized arteriolar narrowing”. Sempre per quanto riguarda i metodi di identificazione della struttura vascolare della retina, la corrente collaborazione con il Department of Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology, del King’s College London Division of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, St Thomas' Hospital, UK, si è recentemente concretizzata nell’accordo che prevede che un numero superiore a 3500 immagini di fundus retinico (più 10 nuove immagini a settimana) vengano analizzate per scopi clinici con il software da noi sviluppato. I risultati conseguiti nelle sperimentazioni effettuate e le collaborazioni internazionali in atto con gruppi clinici e di ricerca di rilievo ci rendono abbastanza confidenti riguardo la qualità delle metodologie sviluppate e i potenziali successi del suo impiego, con l’auspicio che futuri miglioramenti possano ampliarne l’utilizzabilità.
