When breast cancer progresses to a metastatic stage, survival rates decline rapidly and it is considered incurable. Thus, deciphering the critical mechanisms of metastasis vital importance develop new treatment options. We hypothesize that studying proteins are newly synthesized during processes migration invasion will greatly enhance our understanding progression. conducted mass spectrometry screen following bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging elucidate changes in nascent proteome...
Bleeding per rectum is a relatively common acute surgical presentation. Common causes include diverticular disease, colitis, haemorrhoids, polyps, etc. An 83-year-old man with history of recurrent rectosigmoid diverticulitis and bilateral internal iliac artery aneurysms for 2 years presented rectal bleeding. He was suspected to have bleed based on examination. A CT scan revealed large haematoma adjacent the right isolated aneurysm (IIIAA) almost indistinguishable from rectosigmoid,...
Background: The bed crisis and resource limitations continue to plague the Health Service Executive, with surgical patients being admitted for next day radiologic investigations. Ultrasound scan (USS) is a cheap non-invasive modality assessing acute presentations. assessment unit (ASAU) in Limerick has two dedicated USS slots daily. aim of current study was investigate clinical impact on patient care cost-effectiveness such an ASAU access.
Introduction: Neonatal mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast frequently associated with Staphylococcus aureus. While Panton–Valentine leucocidin (PVL), a B‐pore‐forming cytotoxin, commonly enhanced virulence in community‐acquired methicillin‐resistant S. aureus isolates, this first report to our knowledge neonatal caused by PVL‐positive Case presentation: A 20‐day‐old full‐term female neonate presented bilateral mastitis, complicated abscess formation. PVL toxin‐positive was...
Introduction: Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare condition, which accounts for less than 1% of all diagnoses.Because this, there paucity focussed work available and most data derived from female studies.Recently, has been speculation increased incidence, we sought to verify this by reviewing our own experience with MBC. Methods Materials:A retrospective analysis was designed include patients seen at institution 1 st July, 2000 until 31 July 2009, information the patients' records.Results:...
Background: Antimicrobial prophylaxis is a critical step in preventing surgical site infection. The Resistance and Infection Control committee (AMRIC) position statement summarises current guidelines on the maximum recommended duration of antibiotic for each speciality. Our aim to audit use prophylactic antibiotics by breast surgery unit at one teaching hospital Ireland against local AMRIC guidelines. Methods: An ongoing, retrospective all mastectomy procedures was undertaken within...
Background: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) has made tremendous advancements in the realm of cancer management, however, decisions about re-excisions close margins remains controversial. This stems from ambiguity various guidelines defining a standard approach. The aim this study is to investigate outcomes patients who underwent re-excision anterior and posterior single institution. Primary objectives included local recurrence survival (disease free overall survival).
Background: The primary purpose of breast reconstruction is to improve quality life (QoL) among women undergoing mastectomy for cancer. Therefore, the physical and psychosocial impact this intervention should be evaluated post-operatively in order better understand its effect on QoL. Breast Q assesses postoperative QoL satisfaction domains physical, sexual well-being as well with reconstruction, overall outcome care. aim study was assess patient QOL those reconstructions within Cancer Unit...
