Abstract Introduction Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) in eligible patients, but not accessed equally by all. We explored effects of race and socioeconomic factors on while controlling stage, resection status, transplant candidacy. Patients methods All 2003–2013, were retrospectively analyzed using multivariate analysis to explore differences rates among cohorts. Results Of 3078 754 (24%) considered eligible. Odds significantly higher...
Abstract Background Reports on the safety of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy compared to open (OPD) have demonstrated mixed results. One study comparing robotic (RPD) vs OPD decreased complications associated with RPD. Objectives To evaluate morbidity RPD using a national data set. Methods This is retrospective cohort from 2014 2017. Factors in patients undergoing were evaluated multivariate logistic regression (MVA) and propensity score matching (PSM). Results Of 13 110 PDs...
We report our institutional experience with extrahepatic metastasectomy (EM) in a cohort of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients focus on predictors survival.All diagnosed metastatic HCC from 2001 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed identify those who underwent EM therapeutic intent. Associations among multiple clinicopathological variables and survival after analyzed by univariate multivariate analyses.Out 440 cases, we identified 85 (mean age 58.8 ± 11.7 years, 81.2% males) lung (n =...
A single-institution study demonstrated robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) was protective against clinically-relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) compared to open (OPD). We sought compare the national rate of CR-POPF by approach.Procedure-targeted pancreatectomy Participant User Data File queried from 2014 2017 for all patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. modified risk score calculated and were stratified into categories. Multivariate logistic regression propensity...
Background. Tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is common. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence TR OHT, examine correlation between its development and various variables, outcomes. Methods. All 163 OHT patients who followed up 1988 2009 for a minimal period 12 months divided into those with no TR/mild at least mild-moderate TR, as assessed by doppler echocardiography. These groups compared regarding preoperative hemodynamic...
Background We examined outcomes of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) combined with liver resection. Methods All CRS/HIPEC between 2007 2014 were retrospectively reviewed: who underwent synchronous resection (group 1) compared those did not 2) in terms perioperative long-term results. Results Group 1 included 103 colorectal cancer (CRC, n = 28), appendiceal (n 34), other malignancies. Compared group 2 166), had higher number...
Abstract Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression has been described in patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM), but treatment strategies utilising immune checkpoint inhibition are yet to be defined. Here, we examine levels of PD-L1 MPM treated systemic and/or intraperitoneal chemotherapy using tissue from patient tumour biopsies or resections at multiple time points. We found the mean was higher those a germline mutation somatic burden. Moreover, lower who had received...
The size of minimal trellis representation linear block codes is addressed. Two general upper bounds on the size, based zero-concurring codewords and contraction index subcodes, are presented. related permutations for attaining exhibited. These evidently improve previously published bound. Additional certain code constructions derived. focus squaring construction, specific constructive Reed-Muller repeated-root cyclic obtained. In particular, recursive construction explored exact this design...
Acute appendicitis (AA) is a common indication for urgent abdominal surgery. CA-125 glycoprotein antigen non-specific marker epithelial ovarian cancer; serum levels also increased in the conditions of peritoneal inflammation. The aim this study was to examine correlation between and AA.All emergency department (ED) patients with suspected AA were prospectively enrolled study. level checked every patient on arrival ED addition routine clinical laboratory evaluation. Data regarding...
A systematic design of a trellis-based maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoder for linear block codes is presented. The essence the to apply an efficient search algorithm error pattern on reduced trellis representation certain coset. Rather than other decoding algorithms, proposed systematically designed long codes, as well short codes. Computational gain up 6 achieved high-rate over well-known Wolf (1978). Efficient decoders are also obtained and moderate length codes.< <ETX...
The structure of the twisted squaring construction, a generalization is studied with respect to trellis diagrams and complexity. We show that binary affine-invariant codes, which include extended primitive BCH quadratic-residue are equivalent construction codes. In particular, recursive symmetric reversible design codes derived. Using these constructions, parameters minimal diagram determined, including componentwise state-space profile New designs permutations yield low complexity for...
Background Prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising approach for preventing peritoneal carcinomatosis in high-risk patients. We report our initial experience with prophylactic HIPEC series of patients appendiceal neoplasms. Methods retrospectively reviewed prospectively maintained database to identify who underwent the absence disease. Patients previously documented surface disease were excluded. Data regarding clinical, operative and pathological...
