Objective: The objective of the current study was to define surgical outcomes after resection multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond Milan criteria, and develop a prediction tool identify which patients likely benefit most from resection. Background: Liver for HCC, especially remains controversial. Rigorous selection best candidates is essential achieve optimal liver advanced tumors. Methods: Patients who underwent HCC between 2000 2017 were identified an international...
Objectives: To define how dynamic changes in pre- versus post-operative serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) levels may impact postoperative morbidity after curative-intent resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion can occur at the time liver be associated with adverse outcomes following resection. Methods: Patients who underwent curative for HCC between 2010-2020 were identified from an international...
To report the first European series of full robotic whole liver transplantation (RLT) with technical details and future perspectives.
Appendix diverticulosis is a relatively rare pathological finding, more common in adult men over the age of 60 years. It generally an incidental finding on computed tomography (CT) and clinically asymptomatic. When symptomatic, it complicated by acute or chronic diverticulitis, with without appendicitis. may be associated appendix tumors, particularly mucinous ones. The article reports clinical case 68-year-old man referred to general surgery consultation due densification retrocecal fat...
Background/Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer-related deaths rising worldwide. This leading to an increased demand for liver transplantation (LT), the most effective treatment HCC in its initial stages. However, current patient selection criteria are limited predicting recurrence and raise ethical concerns about equitable access care. study aims enhance by refining HepatoPredict (HP) tool, machine learning-based model that combines molecular clinical data...
Background: Computed tomography (CT) phenotypic characterization helps in understanding the clinical diversity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but its relevance and relationship with functional features are not clarified. Volumetric capnography (VC) uses principle gas washout analyzes pattern CO 2 elimination as a function expired volume. The main variables analyzed were end-tidal concentration carbon dioxide (ETCO ), Slope phase (Slp2), 3 (Slp3) capnogram, curve...
The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is an invasive originating from the Asia-Pacific region. This species of major concern to public and veterinary health because its vector role in transmission several pathogens, such as chikungunya, dengue, Zika viruses. In Portugal, a National Vector Surveillance Network (REde de VIgilância VEctores—REVIVE) responsible for surveillance autochthonous, but also invasive, at points entry, airports, ports, storage areas, specific border regions with...
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital malformation of gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal obstruction lead presenting symptom in adult population due to multiple causes (intussusception, incarceration, adhesions, strictures and torsion). Our patient had a complicated MD with an unique combination risk factors findings.We report unusual case 18-year-old acute small bowel for several days, who developed focal peritoneal signs on right lower quadrant. On laparotomy, findings...
Background: Obstructive lung diseases of different etiologies present with progressive peripheral airway involvement. The airways, known as the silent zone, are not adequately evaluated conventional function tests. principle gas washout has been used to detect pulmonary ventilation inhomogeneity and estimate location underlying disease process. Volumetric capnography (VC) analyzes pattern CO 2 elimination a expired volume. Objective: To measure normalized phase 3 slopes VC in patients...
Malignant melanoma is responsible for 1-3% of all malignancies being the gastrointestinal tract one most common metastatic locations.We present case a 71-year old male with previous history cutaneous melanoma. Seven years later, while studied due to suspected small bowel bleeding, he developed obstruction after submitted double balloon enteroscopy. Further investigation revealed intussusception. He was taken up emergency laparotomy that confirmed ileal intussusception secondary an...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Domino LT (DLT) using "Double Piggy-back" technique.DLT livers from familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patients is a well-described technique and useful expanding donor pool. However, data on results HCC are limited, particularly regarding use technique.Between 2001 2014, total 260 undergoing were analyzed prospective database. Of those, 114 submitted DLT....
Jejunoileal diverticulosis (JID) is a rare condition associated with nonspecific symptoms, consisting of acquired false diverticula. It frequently co-exists colonic diverticulosis. Diagnosis usually made incidentally or after complications. These include hemorrhage, obstruction and diverticulitis, without perforation.81-year-old man presented painful abdominal mass in the right lower quadrant (RLQ), diffuse discomfort fever. Abdominal examination confirmed well-defined RLQ rebound...
To verify the analytical performance of HepatoPredict kit, a novel tool developed to stratify Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients according their risk relapse after Liver Transplantation (LT).
The diversity in bread all around the world is enormous and enriched breads are a trend to follow next years. aim of this work was develop new incorporating whey residue, final products were analysed for their textural properties, as compared with basic wheat bread. For measurement texture two types teste used (compression puncture). results showed that residue could be produce good particularly an improved recipe. characteristics, which remained practically unchanged after 24 h, being true...
