Ultrasonography is currently used only to designate the pattern and location of venous lesions. Recent experiences demonstrated that the structure of the cutaneous and subcutaneous layers is clearly demonstrated by ultrasonography.
Background: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is a relatively novel alternative to the transvenous ICD for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, and is currently used in the clinical practice of several centers. The aim of this analysis was to describe current Italian practice regarding S-ICD implantation and its evolution over the years. Methods: We analyzed 607 consecutive patients (78% male, 48 ± 16 years) who underwent S-ICD implantation in 39 Italian centers from 2013 to 2017.
INTRODUCTION:
Parathyroid damage or unintentional excision still affect thyroid surgery and may cause permanent hypoparathyroidism. The only way to recover the excised or ischemic gland functionality is still reimplantation. Many sites of reimplantation have been described, each of one showing both advantages and drawbacks. The aim of this study is to verify results of a new procedure called PR-FaST: Parathyroid Reimplantation in Forearm Subcutaneous Tissue, in a series of unselected patients after long-term follow-up.
Accumulation of oxidative insults on molecular and supramolecular levels could compromise renewal potency and architecture in the aging skin.
