Pretreatment serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19.9 (CA 19.9) and carcinoembryonic were measured in 293 patients with colorectal cancer. Carbohydrate was above the cut-off limit 37 U/mL 35% patients. sensitivity related to tumor stage. Carcinoembryonic level 3.5 ng/mL 61% patients, simultaneous use two markers increased 66%. The main pretreatment CA locoregional cancer is prognosis. provided more prognostic information than that obtained by conventional staging methods. In Dukes' C...
Abstract Ten patients who had undergone whole-organ pancreas transplantation and pancreatoduodenocystostomy from a total of 60 simultaneous cadaveric kidney—pancreas transplants met the criteria for graft pancreatitis. This condition is clearly different acute rejection on basis marked hyperamylasaemia significant local findings over allograft. Graft was cause loss in one patients; eight are alive, seven with functioning 61, 30, 27, 25, 21, 18 14 months after transplantation. Two died:...
Abstract Background Pancreas venous graft thrombosis after transplantation is the main non-immunological cause of failure and usually results in pancreatectomy. Duplex Doppler ultrasonography primary imaging technique for monitoring vascular patency pancreas transplantation. This study reports rescue treatments simultaneous pancreas–kidney Methods One hundred ninety-six patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus received a Venous was diagnosed 25 these based on ultrasonographic...
Over the years, a number of different surgical approaches to adrenal glands have been devised. The anterior transabdominal approach is considered be source postoperative morbidity. However, this conviction can changed. laparoscopic was used in four patients. One had right 5 cm nonfunctioning tumor, second 1.8 aldosterone-producing adenoma, third patient 4 adrenocortical and fourth bilateral pheochromocytoma (tumor size 3.5 4.5 left adrenals, respectively). Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum...
The serum levels of CA 19-9 were determined in the follow-up 370 patients with colorectal cancer and compared CEA. An increase preceded clinical diagnosis recurrence 25% 72 patients. mean time between rise relapse was 3.7 months (median 3). Sensitivity early much lower than that obtained for CEA (75%). Only 1 patient had elevated normal
Quality of life assessment has emerged as an important approach to evaluate the effect pancreas transplantation in diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRD). The aim this study was impact ESRD treatment modality on quality Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Thirty-two similar age, sex and duration, treated for more than 1 year simultaneous kidney (Group 1, n = 12), or 2, 10), hemodialysis 3, 10) were studied. assessed using a questionnaire (34 questions 103 possible...
Pancreas and kidney transplantation (PKTx) has become the treatment of choice in uremic patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In these patients, pancreatic graft provides an endogenous source insulin. However, determination its long-term effect on metabolic control is crucial order to establish real efficacy this diabetic patients. article, we describe experience University Barcelona short- PKTx recipients.We performed seriated determinations glycosilated hemoglobin...
