La Gastroenterite Eosinofila
No full textLa Gastroenterite eosinofila è una malattia rara. La patologia riconosce come aspetto caratterizzante, l'infiltrato eosinofilo della parete del canale digestivo. Le forme primitive sono: La Esofagite eosinofila, la Gastroenterite eosinofila p.d., la Enterocolite indotta da proteine alimentari, la Proctite eosinofila
Effects of exercise on platelet indices in well-trained athletes
No full textWe have now examined the platelet indices -platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet dimensional vidth (PDW)- in two groups of highly-trained athletes before and after exercise. The PC increased significantly after the biathlon race,
whereas during less strenuous exercise, such as the
runners'basal training, PC did not change. The exercise-induced
thrombocytosis did not depend on hemoconcentration since the
hematocrit values in our biathletes did not significantly change
after the effort. No platelet indices correlated with Km/h. Thus according to previous reports the thrombocytosis due to platelet release would be more appreciable in short and stressful exercising than in prolonged
and regular activities, such as in training.On the other hand
both after racing and after training a significant decrease of
MPVs was associated vith raised PDW; furthermore a lowered MPV
vas observed even after the first short-term effort (cycling) of
the biathlon race. These findings would suggest that the
variation of platelet size,observed in all the exercising
athletes, may be due to the release of platelets from those seats
of pooling (splenic and non-splenic) previously reported by
others
The venlafaxine "heart revenge:" a short report.
No full textA 40-year-old white woman with a history of venlafaxine abuse was admitted to our emergency department within 3 days after attempting suicide. On admission, blood pressure was 140/85 mm Hg with 70 beats per minute. The resting 12-lead ECG showed a significant ST-segment elevation in the anterolateral leads consistent with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction (anterolateral AMI). Noninvasive monitoring of blood oxygen saturation showed 97\% while she was breathing room air. Laboratory findings showed the increase of troponin I up to 16 microg/L (normal range, 0-0.05 microg/L) and creatine kinase MB subunit levels up to 166 U/L (normal range, 0-25 U/L). An emergency coronary angiogram was normal. Venlafaxine is generally prescribed for the treatment of major depression, as well as, generalized and social anxiety. This is the first time in the literature that we describe an association between myocardial infarction and an overdose with venlafaxine

PLATELET COUNT, MEAN PLATELET VOLUME, AND PLATELET DIMENSIONAL WIDTH IN RUNNERS DURING BASAL TRAINING
No full textPhysical efforts were reported increase unconstantly platelet count
as well as mean platelet volume (MPV). However these findings,
dependent on some mechanisms occuring in the exercise, i.e. hemoconcentration, change of platelet splenic pooling,
increased production of platelets. Till now it is not well clarified if
the changes of platelet indexes may represent a persistent pattern in well trained athletes. Thus in the present research PC, MPV, and platelet dimensional width (PDW) were compared between a group of long distance runners, during basal training, and a group of sedentary healthy subjects.
Thirty-four runners, ten females and twenty-four males (aged 20-45 years,covering 50 to 160 km/week), as well as thirty-four healthyuntrained non-smoking volunteers (aged 18-46 years) of both sexes were admitted to the study:
The mean PCs as well as the MPV from male and female groups of runners did not differ from the respective groups of controls. PDW was significantly different between male runners and
control, as well as between female runners and controls.
PC, MPV and PDW did not correlate with the runners' age and the kilometers weekly covered
