We present revised diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for the management of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) proposed by Polish Network Neuroendocrine Tumours.These refer to biochemical (determination specific nonspecific markers) imaging diagnostics (EUS, CT, MR, radioisotope examination with a 68Ga or 99Tc labelled somatostatin analogue).A histopathological diagnostic, which determines further patients PNENs, must be necessarily confirmed immunohistochemical tests. PNENs...
In patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy impaired LV function, which is called uremic cardiomyopathy (UC) often observed. The UC historically has been considered a contraindication for kidney transplantation (KTx). Currently, moderate dysfunction does not exclude the possibility of KTx. amelioration uremia after KTx improved cardiac function in dysfunction. There little information on atrium (LA) procedure. are no studies evaluating changes and...
