This report contains clinically oriented guidelines for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of cystic pancreatic neoplasms in patients fit treatment. The statements were elaborated by working groups experts searching analysing literature, then underwent a consensus process using modified Delphi procedure. recommendations regarding most appropriate use timing various imaging techniques endoscopic ultrasound, role circulating intracystic markers pathologic evaluation diagnosis neoplasms.
A validated endoscopic classification of diverticular disease (DD) the colon is lacking at present. Our aim was to develop a simple score DD: Diverticular Inflammation and Complication Assessment (DICA) score.The DICA for DD resulted in sum scores extension diverticulosis, number diverticula per region, presence type inflammation, complications: 1 (≤ 3), 2 (4-7) 3 (>7). comparison with abdominal pain inflammatory marker expression also performed. total 50 videos patients were reassessed...
Recently, Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metal components has opened new frontiers in heat transfer applications, going beyond the capabilities conventional technologies. Despite great design freedom offered by AM, when dealing with metals, there are a few issues that should be considered to exploit this manufacturing technology. In fact, surface roughness is expected affect performance devices, which can remarkably different from ones simulated computer codes. This paper presents critical...
CA 19-9 (Centocor, Malvern, PA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), two recently developed immunoradiometric assays utilizing monoclonal antibodies, were evaluated in the sera of 139 subjects order to assay their individual combined value pancreatic cancer diagnosis assess influence jaundice. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy detecting 69%, 85%, 54% for 19-9; 28%, 78%, 6% CEA, respectively. Combined evaluation gave highest specificity (95%) when both, sensitivity (79%) at least one,...
The Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT) will be a new experimental located at Frascati, Rome, Italy, whose main goal to have better understanding on hot plasma interactions with plasma-facing components (PFCs) and aid in the development of ITER successively DEMO. improved conceptual design beamline for DTT neutral beam heating (NBH) system is here overviewed, particular focus technical solutions adopted fulfill requirements maximize performances. proposed features providing deuterium...
Pancreatic tissue obtained from 26 patients with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (ACP), nine nonalcoholic idiopathic (NAICP), and seven obstructive (OCP) was studied in an attempt to determine whether clinical or etiologic differences have a morphologic counterpart. Histologically it easy distinguish ACP OCP occurring distal obstruction of the pancreatic duct. Nine NAICP showed histological features similar those found ACP. Plugs calcifications were as frequently ACP, suggesting that NAICP,...
To evaluate β-cell function in patients with pancreatic cancer, the glucagon stimulation test was performed seven adenocarcinoma, type I diabetes mellitus, II and healthy controls. C-peptide serum levels were determined before after a 1-mg i.v. injection. Basal values normal or slightly increased cancer diabetic low patients. Following stimulation, no significant increase observed of diabetics patients, whereas increases occurred controls diabetics. It is concluded that altered p-cell found...
To ascertain modifications in the activation products derived from oxygen free radicals patients with chronic pancreatic and extra-pancreatic diseases, lipid peroxide activity was measured sera of 40 control subjects, 28 cancer, 49 pancreatitis, 53 diseases. In 142 elastase 1, amylase, isoamylase activities were also determined. Increased found some both Patients pancreatitis studied during relapse had higher peroxides than those without active disease. No difference between values cancer...
Introduction There is strong evidence that tumor growth not only a result of uncontrolled cell proliferation but also decreased apoptosis. Aims To ascertain the expression c-Jun in specimens pancreatic duct cancer and to evaluate its correlation with CPP32, apoptotic index, index (MIB-1). Methods Tissue samples were collected from 23 patients who had received chemotherapy nor radiation therapy before surgery. In these we determined protein, MIB-1 by immunohistochemical method. Apoptosis was...
We report two adult cases with partial agenesis of the pancreas. Their radiological features, including endoscopic retrograde pancreatography are demonstrated. The significance developmental anomalies involving pancreas is emphasised.
