[Complications of ileal lymphoma].

PubMed (1995)

G Vadalà Marco Salice G L'Anfusa P Caragliano F Vadalà

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the ileum accounts for some 3% of all extranodal onset lymphoma and 20% of gastrointestinal lymphoma given that the ileum is more frequently affected than the jejunum and duodenum. The large majority of primary extranodal lymphomas present a diffuse histological structure and in particular involve the cervico-fascial and gastrointestinal regions. Moreover, it is not uncommon to find an association between gastroenteric involvement and Waldeyer's ring (cervico-fascial region). Primary intestinal involvement may not present specific symptoms and remain silent for some time. It is manifested by the onset of complications caused by occlusion and perforation. Two cases of ileal lymphoma were treated at the Institute of Emergency Surgery of Catania University between 1992 and 1993. They were complicated by intestinal perforation and occlusion respectively. Both patients underwent emergency intestinal resection. Surgery represents the elective treatment for primary forms, followed by polychemotherapy and radiotherapy. Prognosis depends on the spread of disease and the hystotype. The administration of NTP and somatopstatin resulted in a shorter postoperative period with fewer surgical complications.

Impact of Metabolic Syndrome on Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction: A Single Center Experience

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine (2023)

Vincenzo Sucato Cristina Madaudo Luca Di Fazio Girolamo Manno G Vadalà

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) represents a widespread condition and a prevalent cause of ischemic heart disease. Total TIMI frame count (TTFC) can be a good indicator of CMD in different populations. The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of CMD in different populations such as METS patients compared with diabetic and hypertensive patients. The study was carried out on patients with chest pain and/or positive stress test and angiographically undamaged coronary arteries. Our CMD population was divided into three subgroups; patients with arterial hypertension, patients with type II diabetes mellitus and patients with metabolic syndrome. TIMI Frame Count (TFC) and Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) are indices used to evaluate the degree of microcirculatory dysfunction, in particular the TIMI frame count and the Myocardial Blush degree.

[Acute thyroiditis].

Acute suppurating thyroiditis is now an uncommon pathology which is rarely found, although it was frequent before the introduction of antibiotics. Having observed a case, the Authors were prompted to study the subject in greater depth, in particular to assess whether the disease is easier to diagnose using modern techniques diagnosis, and whether there are changes in the therapy. In conclusion, the paper affirms that in spite of the fact that the diagnostic evolution has thrown further light on the clinical aspects of the disease, biopsy still remains the most reliable instrument of diagnosis, whereas surgery is the most effective form of therapy.

[The post-cholecystectomy cystic-stump syndrome].

PubMed (1977)

P Rinella G Cotroneo G Vadalà F Polto

A study was made of five patients, all of female sex, suffering from cystic stump syndrome, occurring among a total of 726 operations on the biliary ducts performed from January 1959 to June 1975, and hence with the incidence of 0.7%. The diseases which brought the patients to the operating table consisted of two cases of long cystic stump, two cases of neuroma of the cystic stump, and one case of asymptomatic long cystic stump with the presence of a serous cyst of the head of the pancreas. The surgical operation always consisted in the removal of the long cystic stump or the neuroma and led to the patient's cure in each case. It is asserted that the cystic stump syndrome must be considered as a nosological entity in itself, affecting patients operated on the bile ducts with a by no means negligible frequency. After considering the various pathogenetic hypotheses covering this syndrome, the Authors finally conclude by reiterating the necessity of careful isolation of the cystic duct during a cholecystectomy operation and of its resection very close to the hepatocholedochus, and then to carry out reliable and effective prophylaxis of the often considerable disturbances which may threaten the results of the operation. Once the syndrome has established itself, however, removal of the cystic stump becomes essential to cure of these patients.

An analysis of the economic impact of drug-coated balloon use for the treatment of peripheral artery disease

International Cardiovascular Forum Journal (2015)

Antonio Micari G Vadalà Mara Corbo G. D’Alessandro Fausto Castriota

Background: Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are an alternative for patients with peripheral arterial disease. Costs and re-intervention rates are potentially reduced compared to other technologies. We assessed the economic impact of these endovascular therapies.Methods: An Italian National Healthcare Service-perspective budget impact model with a 5-year horizon was developed to compare relative costs of 4 index procedures (plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA), DCBs, and bare-metal and drug-eluting stents (BMSs, DESs)) based on 1-year repeat-procedure rates (target-lesion revascularization (TLR)). A published systematic review of TLR rates in patients with femoral-popliteal disease undergoing these treatments was used to measure effectiveness. Costs associated with each treatment were derived from diagnosis-related group tariffs. A decision analytic model was developed to estimate 1-year costs for index procedures and possible revascularizations. Results: Pooled TLR rates show clear patient benefits for DCBs (6.9%) compared with POBA (21.6%) and BMSs (14.2%) and non-inferiority vs. DESs (7.3%). One-year payments for index and repeat interventions (by TLR rate) showed that DCBs were the least costly strategy, saving ~€1,000/patient vs. POBA. The potential savings were €8.7M, assuming 5% annual increase in DCB adoption over 5 years. Conclusions: Despite initial higher investment, DCB represent a cost-saving alternative to other technologies.
