To evaluate the clinical usefulness of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in gastric cancer patients.Vascular plays an important role formation new blood vessels involved and metastatic spread solid tumors, but there is limited information regarding significance VEGF patients.Serum concentrations were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay 61 healthy controls 58 patients before surgery, then again at 7 30 days after surgery. The association between preoperative...
Cancer is a prevalent disease in our aging population; however, few oncologists are familiar with caring for oncogeriatric patients. Surgery presently the treatment of choice most solid tumors, but it frequently delivered suboptimal way this patient subsetting. Undertreatment often justified concern an unsustainable toxicity, while overtreatment can be related to lack knowledge optimizing preoperative risk assessment. To draw new light on issue, several surgeons presented their series,...
Defecating proctography and more recently, magnetic resonance imaging have both been used for diagnosis in patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of dynamic transperineal ultrasound a range specific disorders affecting evacuation.A protocol sagittal transverse was established defining infralevator viscera soft tissues margins puborectalis muscle. Dynamic measurements were possible extent shortening, anorectal angle, movement during straining...
The rectogenital septum (known in clinical literature as Denonvilliers' fascia) forms an incomplete partition between the rectum and urogenital organs both men women. It is composed of collagenous elastic fibers smooth muscle cells intermingled with nerve emerging from autonomic inferior hypogastric plexus. aim this study was to investigate fetal development septum, origin innervation longitudinal within well consider possible effects on function operations that compromise integrity these...
Serum sex hormone levels were measured preoperatively in 57 morbidly obese patients (19 men and 38 premenopausal women) 12 months after vertical banded gastroplasty. In the male group, there was a significant decrease estradiol an increase follicle-stimulating (FSH), total testosterone sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Among female patients, estradiol, free FSH SHBG found. Irregular menses present 5 women corrected successful weight loss. conclusion, altered hormonal gynecologic...
The increasing range of surgery in elderly patients reflects the changing demography where next 10 years one quarter population will be 65 age or older. There is presently no consensus concerning optimal predictive markers for postoperative morbidity and mortality after older with an appreciation that physical frailty more important than chronological age. In this retrospective analysis, we have compared impact calculated preoperative Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) on early (30-day) late...
Rectocele may be associated with both chronic constipation and anal incontinence. Several different surgical procedures have been advocated for rectocele repair. The aim of the present study was to evaluate anorectal function clinical outcome in a consecutive series patients who underwent selected endorectal or transperineal surgery whom operative treatment determined by proctographic features. Attention paid cohort presenting incontinence as leading symptom.Sixty symptomatic at our...
PURPOSE: The rectoanal inhibitory reflex is a response of the internal anal sphincter to rectal distention, reflecting functional nature sampling mechanism discrimination. aim this study was assess parameters in healthy volunteers and incontinent symptomatically constipated patients. METHODS: recorded 42 patients using reproducible threshold volumes. Excitatory latencies, maximum excitatory pressures, amplitude, slope inhibition, time pressure recovery, area under curve were estimated....
This study evaluated serum concentrations of soluble cell adhesion molecules in patients with gastric cancer and healthy control subjects. Our objectives were to correlate these levels clinicopathological features, established tumor markers, patient survival, assess changes after surgery.The the E-selectin, intercellular molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular (VCAM-1) investigated by ELISA 57 patients, both before 7 days surgery, 47 subjects.Preoperative ICAM-1 VCAM-1 significantly higher when...
Fecal leakage after open lateral internal anal sphincterotomy for chronic fissure is common, but underreported. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the physiologic and morphologic effects sphincterotomy, comparing continent incontinent patients surgery. This group further compared with an unselected presenting incontinence hemorrhoidectomy.Between January 1997 June 1999, 23 were followed up through conventional vector volume anorectal manometry, parametric assessment rectoanal...
