Cardiac Hemodynamics and Slight Regression of Left Ventricular Mass Index in a Group of Hemodialysed Patients.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem and has a growing prevalence in Romania and worldwide. The concept of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by abnormal kidney function and/or structure persisting for more than 3 months, influencing patients health. Patients with chronic kidney disease have a 20-30 times greater risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than similar individuals without chronic kidney disease.

Primary axillary hydatid cyst.

Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (or Taenia echinococcus). The adult form of the parasite lives in the gut of the dog, while the intermediate hosts, where the tapeworm develops to larval stage are cats, cattle, pigs and humans(considered to be accidental intermediate hosts). The parasite has a worldwide distribution, but the endemic areas are Canada and Alaska, Australia, New Zealand, South America and the Mediterranean region.

Histopathological factors as predictors for survival in colon and rectal cancers.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent malignant diseases with a raising incidence in Romania. Survival at 5-years even was improved in the last decade, remains low especially because of delayed diagnosis. Many clinical-biological and pathological factors have demonstrate a good prognostic value over the time but there are not a wide consensus in this field.

[Pressure stress in glaucoma--assessment through classical techniques and computational modelling].

Unlabelled: Even if glaucoma remains a major eye illness with unknown etiology, the importance of vascular factors associated with mechanical factors contributing to the pathogenesis and development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy has been emphasized. the objective of the study consists in elaboration of a biomechanical model of the human eye correlated with clinical and ultrasonography evaluations aiming to early identification of changes induced by pressure stress in open angle glaucoma (OAG) at retrobulbar arteries and optic nerve head level.

Method And Material: The present study included a lot formed by 97 patients without glaucoma, aged 20-75 years (lot 1) and a lot formed by 71 patients with open angle glaucoma, aged 45-80 years (lot 2).
