No full textWhat is the role of the prevention of allergy in the first period of life?
No full textThe widespread increase in the prevalence of allergic disease, which has occurred over the last 20 y, has created general concern in Europe and in the rest of the world. The reason for this increase is still partially unknown. In this period, despite a greater understanding of the pathogenesis and risk factors of allergies plus the greater efficacy of drugs to control the symptoms, the cost of intervention and the socio-economic impact are still very high. For these reasons, prevention in the first period of life represents a goal for both developed and developing countries in order to reduce this upward trend. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd
Vitamin K prophylaxis: Leaving the old route for the new one?
No full textOral or patenteral administration of vitamin K is the accepted practice for prevention of early vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) in the newborn. However, vitamin K prophylaxis in the newborn continues to be a worldwide health concern, particularly in breastfed infants. This paper reviews the current status of the use of vitamin K for the prevention of early and late VKDB. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd
Sulla genuinità del papiro di Gallo
No full textVengono esaminati gli argomenti portati da F. Brunhölzl contro la genuinità del reperto da un punto di vista papirologico, paleografico e storico-letterario; se ne dimostra l’inconsistenza. Il successivo esame autoptico del papiro da parte di M. Capasso, Il ritorno di Cornelio Gallo, Napoli 2003, confermerà pienamente la genuinità del papiro

No full textBACKGROUND: After introduction of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score in 2002, a worldwide increasing number of simultaneous liver-kidney transplantations (SLKTx) has been observed. However, organ shortage puts into question the allocation of 2 grafts to 1 recipient. This retrospective, single-center study compared SLKTx results with isolated liver transplantation (LTx).
METHODS: Between 1995 and 2013, 37 SLKTx were performed in adult recipients. Every SLKTx was matched by donor age (±5 years) and transplantation date with 2 LTx (n = 74). Pretransplant, intraoperative, and post-transplant variables were collected; liver graft and patient survivals were calculated.
RESULTS: As expected, donor age was similar in the 2 groups (median, 39.7 years), whereas serum creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate, and MELD and D-MELD (donor age*MELD) scores were significantly higher in the SLKTx group. SLKTx had longer waiting list time (P = .0034) as well as higher surgical difficulty, testified by more blood transfusions (P = .0083), increased use of classic caval reconstruction (P = .0024), and more frequent need of abdominal packing for bleeding control (P = .0003). In addition, duration of hospital stay (P < .0001), second-look surgery (P = .0082), post-transplant dialysis (P < .0001), and post-transplant infections (P = .04) were significantly greater in SLKTx group. Acute rejection episodes involving the liver were significantly less in SLKTx than in LTx (14% vs 41%; P = .0045). Liver graft and patient survival at 10 years after transplantation was similar in the 2 groups (liver graft: SLKTx, 80% vs LTx, 77% [P = .85]; patient: SLKTx, 86% vs LTx, 79% [P = .56]).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite being technically challenging, SLKTx provided excellent long-term results and was shown to be an effective use of liver grafts
