Bcl-2 promotes cell survival by inhibiting adapters needed for the activation and cleavage of caspases thus blocking proteolytic cascade that ultimately dismantles cell. has been investigated as a prognostic factor in non small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with conflicting results.Here, we quantitatively assessed expression two large independent cohorts to investigate impact on survival. AQUA(R), fluorescent-based method analysis situ protein expression, was used measure levels classify...
Abstract Background: Aortic arch surgery is impossible without the temporary interruption of brain perfusion and therefore associated with high incidence neurologic injury. The deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), in combination antegrade or retrograde cerebral (RCP), a well-established method protection aortic surgery. In this retrospective study, we compare two methods perfusion. Materials Methods: From 1998 to 2006, 48 consecutive patients were urgently operated for acute type A...
The early and intermediate outcome of patients requiring intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) was studied in a cohort 2697 adult cardiac surgical patients.136 IABP (5.04%) support analysed over 4 year period. Prospective data collection, obtained.The overall operative mortality 35.3%. "operation specific" higher on the Valve population.The (%) as per time insertion was: Preoperative 18.2, Intraoperative 33.3, postoperative 58.3 (p < 0.05).The incremental risk factors for death were: Female gender...
Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) after pneumonectomy for NSCLC remains a highly morbid complication. We examined possible factors including the surgical techniques associated with BPF development. From 221 pneumonectomies NSCLC, bronchial stump closure was mechanically performed in 192 patients and manually remaining 29. In all right-sided mechanical coverage. 114/130 left-sided procedures where selected, remained uncovered. 16 cases manual selectively performed, covered utilizing various...
Abstract Background The lobar torsion after lung surgery is a rare complication with an incidence of 0.09 to 0.4 %. It may occur twisting the bronchovascular pedicle remaining lobe lobectomy, usually on right side. 180-degree rotation produces acute obstruction bronchus (atelectasis) and vessels as well. Without prompt treatment it progresses ischemia, pulmonary infarction finally fatal gangrene. Case Presentation A 62 years old female patient was admitted for surgical cancer. She underwent...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The importance of definitive histological subclassification has increased as drug trials have shown benefit associated with histology in nonsmall‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). acuity this problem is further exacerbated by the use minimally invasive cytology samples. Here we describe development and validation a 4‐protein classifier that differentiates primary adenocarcinomas (AC) from squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). METHODS: Quantitative immunofluorescence (AQUA) was...
We studied 95 patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract in various sites. The aim study was to compare forearm dynamometry vs prognostic nutritional index which reported by Busby et al, 1890. used these methods as preoperative indicators for postoperative mortality and morbidity. muscle has greater positive predictive value (58.33 32.4%), higher sensitivity (77.78 66.6%), specificity (86.11 65.28%) than index. predicted a high rate (100%). results suggest that is useful, rapid,...
