RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Image-based morphometric scoring systems such as the RENAL and PADUA scores are useful to evaluate the complexity of partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The main aim of this study was to develop a new imaging software to enable an automatic detection and a 3D visualization of RCC from CT angiography (CTA) and to address the feasibility to use it to evaluate the features of the RENAL and the PADUA scores. METHODS: A training dataset of 210 patients CTA-scans manually segmented was used to train a deep learning algorithm to develop the automatic detection and 3D-visualization of RCC. A trained operator blindly assessed the RENAL and PADUA scores on a testing dataset of 41 CTA from patients with RCC using a commercialized semi-automatic software (ground truth) and the new automatic software. Concordance between the two methods was evaluated. RESULTS: The median PADUA score was 9 (7-11) and the renal score was 8 (5.5-9). The automatic software enabled to automatically detect the tumoral kidney and provided a 3D-visualization in all cases, with a computational time less than 20 seconds. Concordances for staging the anatomical features of the RENAL scores were respectively: 87.8% for radius, 85.4% for exophytic rate, 82.9% for location to the polar lines and 92.7% for the antero-posterior location. For the PADUA scores, concordances were 90.2% for tumor size, 85.4% for exophytic rate, 87.8% for polar location and 100% for renal rim. CONCLUSION: By enabling an automatic 3D-visualization of tumoral kidney, this software could help to calculate morphometric scores, save time and improve reproducibility for clinicians.

RESUMEN

Similar reactions of 2,6-dipicolinoylbis(N,N-diethylthiourea) (H2L(a)) with: (i) Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, (ii) a mixture of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O and AgNO3, (iii) a mixture of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O and PrCl3·7H2O and (iv) a mixture of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O and BaCl2·2H2O give the binuclear complex [Ni2(L(a))2(MeOH)(H2O)], the polymeric compound [NiAg2(L(a))2]∞, and the heterobimetallic complexes [Ni2Pr(L(a))2(OAc)3] and [Ni2Ba(L(a))3], respectively. The obtained assemblies can be used for the build up of supramolecular polymers by means of weak and medium intermolecular interactions. Two prototype examples of such compounds, which are derived from the trinuclear complexes of the types [MLn(III)(L)2(OAc)3] and [MBa(L)3], are described with the compounds {[CuDy(III)(L(a))2(p-O2C-C6H4-CO2)(MeOH)4]Cl}∞ and [MnBa(MeOH)(L(b))3]∞, H2L(b) = 2,6-dipicolinoylbis(N,N-morpholinoylthiourea).

RESUMEN

The organ impairment and drug-drug interaction (OI-DDI) database is the first rigorously assembled database of pharmacokinetic drug exposure data from publicly available renal and hepatic impairment studies presented together with the maximum change in drug exposure from drug interaction inhibition studies. The database was used to conduct a systematic comparison of the effect of renal/hepatic impairment and pharmacologic inhibition on drug exposure. Additional applications are feasible with the public availability of this database.

RESUMEN

There have been claims of an increased risk for gestational trophoblastic disease (i.e., hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma) in Vietnam since the period of Agent Orange sprayings. In 1990, we conducted a case-control study in Ho Chi Minh City to investigate risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease in Vietnam. Eighty-seven married women, all of whom had a recent pathologic diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease, identified in the Obstetrical and Gynecological Hospital, were included in the study. Eighty-seven married women who were admitted mainly in the surgery departments of the same hospital were the controls, and they were matched to cases for age and area of residence. Odds ratios (ORs), adjusted for matching variables and other potential confounders, were estimated with unconditional logistic regression. A statistically significant trend in risk was observed with previous live births (p = .01). Cases were found to eat less meat per wk (OR = 0.4, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.2-0.9 for > or = five meat dishes) and to own fewer consumer goods than controls. An increase in risk was associated with the breeding of pigs (OR = 5.7, 95% CI = 1.2-27.6 for raising three or more pigs). A cumulative Agent Orange exposure index was constructed, using the patient's complete residence history. No significant difference was found between cases and controls for this index (OR = 0.7, 95% CI = 0.2-1.8 for high-exposure category), nor was such a difference noted for the agricultural use of pesticides.

RESUMEN

With substantial improvements in analytic techniques over the past decade, it has become possible to measure polychlorinated dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in human tissue in a congener-specific fashion down to the low parts per trillion level. This paper reviews findings using these new techniques from a number of recent medical and environmental case studies. These studies include those of workers exposed to a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) transformer fire in the United States, German chemical workers exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) while cleaning up after an explosion, workers at a municipal incinerator in New York City, a chemist exposed to brominated and chlorinated dioxins, U.S. veterans and also Vietnamese civilians exposed to Agent Orange contaminated with TCDD in Vietnam, and victims of the polychlorinated dibenzofuran and PCB contaminated rice oil (Yusho) incident in Japan.

RESUMEN

During the past decade a considerable amount of data has been generated concerning polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in humans from many geographical locations. To organize these data in a useful fashion for environmental purposes and for consideration of human toxicity, selected portions of our data are presented in a somewhat atypical fashion, by percentage contribution of individual congeners to total PCDD/Fs in human tissue, and to the total dioxin equivalents (TEq). This is done to better characterize congener contributions from environmental contamination in various geographical regions at this time and health-related levels. To present the findings in a global perspective, data from widely different locations are presented including the United States, Germany, Vietnam, the former Soviet Union, Thailand, Cambodia, China, South Africa, and Guam.

RESUMEN

A case-control study investigating risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was conducted in Hanoi, in the north of Vietnam, between 1989 and 1992. Male cases of HCC (152) diagnosed in 2 hospitals were included. Hospital controls (241) admitted mainly to abdominal surgery departments were frequency-matched to cases for sex, age, hospital and place of residence (Hanoi, province). Odds ratios adjusted for matching variables and other potential confounders were estimated using unconditional logistic regression, or exact non-parametric statistical inference when numbers were small. Positivity for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was the main risk factor for HCC in this sample. Five subjects (3 cases, 2 controls) had been infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), and none of them were carriers of HBsAg, giving an OR of 38 associated with HCV infection among HBsAG-negative subjects. Alcohol drinking was associated with HCC and interacted with HBsAg positivity. Agricultural use of organophosphorous pesticides (30 liters/year or more) and military service in the south of Vietnam for 10 years or more were also associated with an increased risk of HCC. This study confirms the major role played by HBV infection and its association with HCC in south-east Asia. It also suggests how other factors such as alcohol consumption or exposure to chemicals may interact with HBV infection.
