To confirm the findings from uncontrolled studies that aggressive cytoreduction in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is superior to standard treatment patients peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer origin.Between February 1998 and August 2001, 105 were randomly assigned receive either consisting systemic (fluorouracil-leucovorin) or without palliative surgery, experimental therapy HIPEC, followed by same regime. The primary end point was...
To evaluate the role of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in gastrointestinal motility.SG is a widely used bariatric operation leading to weight loss and early improvement patient's metabolic profile. Current data indicate faster postoperative gastric emptying, but detailed studies on alterations small bowel motility are missing.We evaluated 21 morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic SG before 4 months after procedure. After consumption semisolid radiolabeled meal, their intestinal transit...
Abstract Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei remains a fatal disease. However, extensive surgical cytoreduction combined with intraoperative heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has recently emerged as new treatment modality, which might improve survival. Methods Patients underwent if the tumour appeared to be technically resectable on preoperative abdominal computed tomography and there were no distant metastases. After aggressive cytoreduction, HIPEC administration of mitomycin C was...
Because of the relative rarity acquired jejunoileal diverticulosis, including its symptomatology and complications, diagnosis is often difficult delayed, resulting in unnecessary morbidity mortality. The purpose present study was to draw attention diverticula their complications as a site gastrointestinal symptoms.The records 10 patients with symptomatic treated our departments were reviewed.The clinical presentation varying nonspecific. Jejunoileal diagnosed peroperatively four operated on...
The nodal burden of patients with residual isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) (ypN0i+) is unknown, and axillary management not standardized. We investigated rates additional positive (LNs) at node dissection (ALND) oncologic outcomes ypN0i+ treated without ALND.
The traditional melanoma staging system is not ideal for predicting patients' individual risk of disease recurrence and death. Subsequently, suboptimal adjuvant treatment may be offered. Hence, identification biomarkers to optimize stratification warranted. Cyclins cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, key players in the cell cycle regulation, are candidate prognostic biomarkers. Herein, their expression value studied. Cyclin D1, E, p16, p21, p27 were assessed using immunohistochemistry...
Chest trauma in children may result variable injuries. Although radiographs represent the mainstay modality for triage, ultrasound prove to be a useful diagnostic tool, having potential supplement radiographic findings and tailor ionizing imaging. There is growing evidence demonstrating high accuracy of assessing several conditions related pediatric chest trauma. Familiarity with scanning technique, together an understanding sound properties solid tissue, air, fluid, essential image...
