Subcutaneously anchored securement devices (or subcutaneous engineered devices) have been introduced recently into the clinical practice, but number of published studies is still scarce. The Italian Group Long-Term Central Venous Access Devices (GAVeCeLT)-in collaboration with WoCoVA (World Congress on Vascular Access)-has developed a Consensus about effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness such devices.After definition panel experts, systematic collection review literature...
The purpose of this study was the evaluation pressure-volume (PV) curve and all possible complications as it appears on an anesthesia monitor recording parameters such PO2 SpO2 intraoperatively before intubation. took place in Surgery Department a highly qualified Cancer Memorial Hospital, included 90 oncology patients diagnosed with abdominal cancer, divided into three groups. Patients Group A had normal history pulmonary function body mass index values; B obstructive lung disease; C...
Thyroid dysfunction (TD) represents an extrahepatic manifestation of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Moreover, the currently approved treatment CHC is often associated with TD. However, it remains debatable if TD mainly virus- or treatment-related. The aim this study was to assess incidence and features TD, identify its predictors in treated untreated patients.Ninety-four patients normal thyroid function were evaluated long-term for TD: 33 (control group) 61 pegylated interferon alpha...

True Left-sided gallbladder (LSG) is a rare anatomical variation with prevalence of 0.3%. Mainly discovered during the operation, its surgical approach in laparoscopic setting may be challenging even for an experienced surgeon.LSG was unexpectedly young man cholecystectomy. There were no pre-operative indications this sinistroposition. The cholecystectomy performed minor modifications and it uneventful. A meticulous review recent literature about LSGs conducted as well.LSG scarce aberration...
