Malnutrition is a risk factor for postoperative morbidity but the optimal tool assessment of malnutrition unclear. This prospective multicentre cohort study. Consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency major abdominal surgery benign malignant disease in 12 Greek hospitals between January 2022 and December 2023 were included. Patients unable to provide nutrition history and/or informed consent excluded. Subjective global (SGA) was used as reference standard diagnosis. GLIM (global...
Background/Objectives: Genomics plays a crucial role in healthcare, enhancing diagnostics, risk assessments, and therapeutic interventions. However, many healthcare professionals, including nurses, face challenges when it comes to integrating genomics into their practice. This study aims evaluate the genomic knowledge of nurse practitioners Greece by translating validating Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory (GNCI). Methods: A cross-sectional involving 324 nurses was conducted Crete, Greece....
Tamoxifen is the treatment of choice in estrogen receptor alpha breast cancer patients that are eligible for adjuvant endocrine therapy. However, ∼50% ERα‐positive tumors exhibit intrinsic or rapidly acquire resistance to treatment. Unfortunately, prediction de novo therapy and/or assessment relapse likelihood remain difficult. While several mechanisms regulating acquisition and maintenance have been reported, there aspects this phenomenon need be further elucidated. Altered metabolic fate...
The purpose of this study was two-fold, first to investigate the association between endometriosis and risk benign gynecologic tumors and, secondly, evaluate distribution endometrioma ovarian cysts in women with endometriosis. medical pathological reports 1,000 were retrospectively reviewed. incidence cysts, uterine leiomyomas adenomyosis, as well side further compared. A total 295 cases endometriomas, 172 173 89 confirmed histologically patients Serous represented most frequent diagnosis...
Abstract Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is very common and usually encountered when it small in size. Giant BCC (i.e. greater than 5 cm diameter) quite rare comprises 0.5 percent of all BCC. Extremely rarely, tumors larger 20 have been reported. Herein, a case with an enormous, vegetating the abdominal wall, 30 x size, described. This report demonstrates that such can still be observed civilized world 21st century, which remains profoundly astonishing. A literature survey was performed revealed...

Numerous strategies are employed routinely in an effort to lower rates of surgical site infections (SSIs). A laminar flow theatre environment is generally used during orthopaedic surgery reduce SSIs. Its role vascular surgery, especially when arterial bypass grafts used, unknown.A retrospective review a prospectively maintained database was undertaken for all procedures performed by single consultant over one-year period. Cases were performed, via random allocation, either or non-laminar...
Introduction We aim to report the histotypes and reassess anatomic distribution of benign ovarian tumors in perimenopausal postmenopausal women. Methods Medical pathology reports women with histologically confirmed were investigated. Data collected, retrospectively between 2000 2020, analyzed from tumors, after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) or without total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). The masses histology locations further evaluated. Results sample consisted 1,355 tumors; 929...
Insulinomas are rare, usually benign and solitary neuroendocrine tumors that cause oversecretion of insulin. Surgical excision remains the only treatment modality with potential for cure. Compared to open extensive pancreatic resections, laparoscopic enucleation these offers effective treatment, significantly reduced risks complications. However, accurate tumor localization is extremely important, especially in cases lesions deep seated into head pancreas. We present here a novel technique...
Zuska's disease is a pathologic entity characterized by the formation of subareolar breast abscess caused obstruction lactiferous ducts. Although found relatively often in female patients, only 19 male cases have been reported. That makes diagnosis challenging males, leading to significant morbidity and high recurrence rates. Clinical evaluation imaging techniques, especially ultrasound mammography, are considered cornerstones for disease, whereas fine-needle aspiration cytology necessary...
Abstract Background Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics patients cIAI in a multicentre develop prediction models (CPMs) help identify at risk mortality or relapse. Methods A observational conducted from August 2016 February 2017 UK. Adult diagnosed were included. Multivariable logistic regression performed CPMs for c-statistic used test model discrimination....
