Background: Ultrasound (US)–elastography is a newly developed imaging technique for the reconstruction of tissue stiffness by measuring degree tissue's deformation in response to application an external force. This has previously been shown be useful differential diagnosis between benign and malignant tumors. Methods: The objective this study was assess diagnostic accuracy US-elastography thyroid cancer, using cytologic/histopathologic analysis as reference standard. A total 67 consecutive...
Benign thyroid nodules are a common clinical occurrence and usually do not require treatment unless symptomatic. During the last years, ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatments (MIT) gained an increasing role in management of causing local symptoms. In February 2018, Italian MIT Thyroid Group was founded to create permanent cooperation between international physicians dedicated research assistance on for nodules. The group drafted this list statements based literature review consensus...
Background: Clinical trials investigating the potential benefits of perioperative total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for reducing risk surgery in malnourished cancer patients have yielded controversial results. Methods: Ninety elective surgical with gastric or colorectal tumors and weight loss 10% more usual body were randomly assigned to 10 days preoperative 9 postoperative us a simple control group. The daily per kilogram TPN regimen included 34.6 ± 6.3 kcal nonprotein 0.25 0.04 g nitrogen...
There is little information about the nutritional status of cancer outpatients because practice screening rarely performed. This study aims to define pattern scores risk in 1,453 and factors associated with a high nutrition score, facilitate identification such patients by oncologists.We prospectively screened according NRS-2002 score which combines indicators malnutrition severity disease (1-3 points, respectively). A ≥ 3 indicates "nutritional risk". The association some...
Adherential pathology is the most common cause of small bowel obstruction. Laparoscopy in obstruction does not have a clear role yet; surely it doesn't always represent only therapeutic act, but diagnostic which interfere with abdominal wall integrity. We performed review without any language restrictions considering international literature indexed from 1980 to 2007 Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library. analyzed reference lists key manuscripts. also added based on non-indexed sources. The...
Background: Indication for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in cancer patients is controversial because intestinal failure and malnutrition are often only two of the many problems found such that may deserve priority treatment. Methods: This was a retrospective study 75 from nine institutions included Italian HPN Registry. The had mean weight loss 12.5%, serum albumin 3.1 g/dL, lymphocyte count 1150/mm 3 , total iron‐binding capacity 190 μg/dL. main indication obstruction (66%); 72%...
Aims and background The multimodal approach to patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma often includes poly-chemotherapy combined radiation therapy. Cancer dysphagia drug-related anorexia, mucositis vomiting can all lead malnutrition. aim of this study was analyze the impact administration enteral nutrition (EN) on patient's nutritional status, tolerance chemotherapy radiotherapy, final oncological outcome. Methods Fifty cancer who were be submitted (days 1-4 5-fluorouracil (FU) 1...
A 30-year-old man presenting with watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and hypochlorhydria (Verner-Morrison syndrome, WDHH syndrome) had raised plasma levels of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), somatostatin (SRIF), calcitonin, gastrin, as well high urinary excretion vanillylmandelic acid. right adrenal pheochromocytoma was found excised. The neoplastic cell population immunohistochemically shown to contain VIP, SRIF, calcitonin. Gross, histologic, immunohistochemical evaluation the pancreas...
In this paper, the members of Italian Working Group on Minimally-Invasive Treatments Thyroid (MITT group) aim to summarize most relevant information that could be help referring physicians and should provided patients when considering use MITT for treatment benign thyroid nodules.An interdisciplinary board with specific expertise in management nodules was appointed by Group. A systematic literature search performed, an evidence-based approach used, including also knowledge practical...
