Objective: To correlate microscopic margin status with survival and local control in a large cohort of patients from high-volume pancreatic cancer center.Design: Retrospective database review.A uniform procedure for analysis was used 4-color inking (neck, portal vein groove, uncinate, posterior margin) by the surgeon operating room.Setting: A tertiary care hospital. Patients:We reviewed who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between September 1, 1997, December 31, 2008, prospective,...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the ability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging enhanced with AMI-25 to depict and characterize hepatic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-four patients (41 men 23 women, aged 24-65 years [mean, 55 years]) underwent 1-T MR imaging: 22 had metastatic disease; 10, hepatocellular carcinoma; seven, hemangioma; three, focal nodular hyperplasia; gallbladder adenocarcinoma; two, lymphoma; one, adenoma; 16, no tumor. Pre- postcontrast images (alone in combination) were analyzed...
The authors compared the accuracy of spin-echo (SE) and gradient-echo (GRE) magnetic resonance images in diagnosis abdominal venous thrombosis. Images 292 veins 72 patients were reviewed a blinded manner by three radiologists, with seven levels confidence for diagnosis. Corroborative studies proved thrombosis (n = 95) vessel patency 197). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves constructed SE alone, GRE combined. At specificities 90% 95%, thrombi identified sensitivities,...
Background As the organ-shortage crisis continues to worsen, many patients in need of a kidney transplant have turned social media find living donor. The effect on donation is not known. goal this study investigate influence those interested donating kidney. Methods Self-referrals for from December 2016 March 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, sex, race, and relationship individuals petitioned through (SM) compared with verbal communication (VC). Data analyzed using chi-squared tests,...
Transplantation of hepatitis C viremic (HCV+) deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) into aviremic (HCV-) recipients is a strategy to increase organ utilization. However, there are concerns around inferior recipient outcomes due delayed initiation direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and sustained HCV replication when implemented outside research setting.This was retrospective single-center matched cohort study DDKT HCV+ donors (cases) who were 1:1 HCV- (comparators) by age, gender, race,...
Background. Temporary ileostomy during intestinal transplantation (ITx) is the standard technique for allograft monitoring. A detailed analysis of ITx has never been reported. Methods. retrospective review a single-center database was performed. The divided into formation and takedown episodes. Results. One hundred thirty-five grafts underwent formation, 79 takedown. Median age at 7.7 years weight 23 kg. Allograft types were intestine (22%), liver/intestine (55%), multivisceral (16%),...
Characteristics of incisional hernia (IH) formation after live donor nephrectomy (LDN) are not well-defined. The goal this study was to describe the incidence IH within 3 years LDN and identify risk factors contributing their formation.We performed a single-center, retrospective review all between February 2013 October 2018. Patients with without were compared based on operative variables. Data analyzed using chi-square tests column proportions. Multivariable logistic regression backward...
With increasing utilization of hepatitis C (HCV) viremic donor organs, there may be a role for kidney pump perfusion to reduce viral load and prevent HCV transmission. We performed prospective pilot study donors; one from each pair was pumped with perfusate exchanges testing at least every 4 hours. Donor, recipient, transplant characteristics were obtained clinical outcomes. Linear regression quantify the association between time load. Six donors six pairs aviremic recipients included....
