We aimed to investigate the role of surgical excision in treating granulomatous lobular mastitis. performed a retrospective chart review patients with mastitis treated from March 2008 2014. analyzed clinical features and therapeutic modalities compared patient outcomes based on treatment. During study period, total 34 were diagnosed treated. Initial treatments included wide (18), oral steroids after incision drainage (14), antibiotic therapy (2). The receiving only showed no improvement 1...
There have been recent studies of the (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in staging, detection, follow-up breast cancer occurrence recurrence. was controversy concerning use (18)F-FDG PET/CT for staging primary cancer. In this study, we investigated potential effects initial assessment patients with cancer.From January 2008 to December 2009, 154 consecutive biopsy-proven invasive were enrolled study. Patients underwent conventional imaging...
The objective of the current study was to investigate treatment outcomes for use cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy in adult patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Seventeen HLH older than 18 yr age were treated CHOP chemotherapy. A response evaluation conducted every two cycles With chemotherapy, complete achieved 7/17 (41.2%), a partial 3/17 (17.6%), overall rate 58.8%. median duration (RD) not reached 2-yr RD 68.6%, follow-up...
Endoscopic thyroidectomy is gaining greater acceptance because of its excellent cosmetic result. As the surgical skill and understanding endoscopic cervical anatomy has improved, indications for have recently expanded to small size thyroid cancer. Despite many advantages laparoscopic surgery, there been incidental reports about recurrences at site insertion laparoscope or other instruments in cancers. Herein, we present a case 25-year-old woman who had recurrent cancers around operative bed...
Rationale: Gastric metastasis from invasive lobular breast cancer is relatively rare, commonly presented among multiple metastases, several years after primary diagnosis of cancer. Importantly, gastric that synchronously with can be misdiagnosed as cancer; therefore, accurate differential required. Patient concerns: A 39-year-old woman was visited to our hospital because right mass and progressive dyspepsia. Diagnoses: Invasive carcinoma diagnosed on core needle biopsy. Gastroscopy revealed...
Background: The ultrarapid immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique was applied to the intraoperative examination of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) because routine SLN frozen section examinations sometimes produce false-negative results. present study undertaken develop a reliable protocol for IHC SLNs. Methods: SLNs from 79 breast cancer patients with clinically negative axillary node were examined intraoperatively by hematoxylin–eosin (H&E) stain and cytokeratin assay. On basis result serially...
Antiulcer effects of pantoprazole, a proton-pump inhibitor, on water-immersion restraint stress (WIRS)-, alcohol (ethanol)- and pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcers were investigated in male rats. Rats orally administered with pantoprazole 30 min prior to exposure various types ulcer inducers. In stress-induced model, rats subjected WIRS at 22℃ for 4 hours, the degree (in mm) was evaluated. alcohol-induced pure (100%) ethanol (1 mL/kg), lesions measured 1 hour after challenge. ligation,...
Neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) is a recently identified inhibitor of protein. However, the clinical relevance NAIP expression not completely understood. In an attempt to determine in breast cancer, levels and survivin were measured 117 cancer samples 10 normal tissues using quantitative reversetranscriptase-polymerase chain reaction. While there was no evidence tissue, expressed all samples. The level significantly higher (257 times) than universal tumor control. There strong...
Renal toxicity by melamine in combination with cyanuric acid (1:1) was investigated. Male rats were orally administered plus (5, 50 or 400 mg/kg each) for 3 days. In contrast to a negligible effect alone (50 mg/kg, no-observed-adverse-effect-level: NOAEL), co-administration markedly increased the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, as well kidney weight. A high dose (400 mg/kg) induced more severe toxicity. The parameters organ weight lasted longer than 4 Combined treatment...
A number of factors related to overall survival (OS) have been addressed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study was conducted determine the impact whole-body metastatic regions on outcome non-squamous NSCLC.Between March 2005 and February 2011, 112 eligible patients with newly confirmed stage IV NSCLC, available for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status 18-21 analysis, accessible determination pretreatment were enrolled this retrospective study. The...
In unconscious patients, pupillary light reflex is an indicator of brain damage. the current study, a smartphone application was developed for purpose measuring with aim to determine agreement between measurements using (APP) and penlight (PEN). The APP acquires five sequential photographs camera flash in order stimulate pupil. initial image captured prior flash, subsequent obtained while on. remaining three images are whilst off. Pupillary right assessed 30 healthy subjects PEN. After 10...
The development of acute renal failure (ARF) is a very rare complication in patients with hepatitis A (AHA).We retrospectively investigated the overall incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes ARF associated AHA. Diagnosis AHA was made according to typical symptoms positivity immunoglobulin M anti-hepatitis virus 208 AHA.ARF noted 12 (5.7%) patients, dialysis required 8 (66%) patients. median duration hospitalization for 18 days (range, 6-50 days). observed older (p = 0.004) diabetes...
We aimed to evaluate the differences in rates and predictive factors for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) between ductal carcinoma situ (DCIS) invasive cancer. And, we evaluated impact of IBTR on overall survival distant metastasis.We retrospectively reviewed 322 consecutive patients with DCIS or cancer who underwent BCS 2004 2010. Univariate multivariate analyses were performed determine IBTR, analyzed Kaplan-Meier estimates.With a median...
Background In East Asia, the foot is most common site of cutaneous melanoma. The purpose this study was to investigate differences between melanoma and melanomas other sites. Methods We studied 52 patients who underwent surgical treatment for from September 2000 January 2015. Through a retrospective review their medical records, we collected data relating sex, age, histopathological subtype, Clark level, tumor thickness, lymph node involvement, stage, survival rate, compared these parameters...
Abstract Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is unnecessarily performed too often, owing to the high upstaging rates of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This study aimed evaluate DCIS invasive cancer, determine prevalence axillary metastasis, and identify clinicopathological factors associated with metastasis. We also examined surgical patterns among patients determined whether SLNB guidelines were followed. Methods retrospectively analysed 307 consecutive diagnosed by preoperative...
Background Predicting how long a patient with far advanced cancer has to live is significant part of hospice and palliative care. Various prognostic models have been developed, but not fully compared in South Korea. Objectives We aimed compare the accuracy Prognosis Palliative Care Study (PiPS), Prognostic Index (PPI), Score (PaP) Objective (OPS) for patients care unit Methods This prospective study included who were admitted single at National University Hospital. Variables calculating...
Bone metastasis is a rare event in patients with gastric cancer, but pathologic fracture, paralysis, pain and hematological disorders associated the bone may influence quality of life. We report herein case 53-year-old man who presented primary remnant cancer metastasis. The patient requested further investigations after detection metastatic lesion 2nd lumbar vertebra during evaluation for back that had persisted 3 mo. No other lesions were detected. He underwent total gastrectomy palliative...
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of intraoperative ultrasonography-guided wire localization guided breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for nonpalpable breast cancer and compare it conventional preoperative (PWL) surgery. We retrospectively analyzed medical charts 214 consecutive patients who underwent BCS using by a surgeon (IUWLS) PWL, between April 2013 March 2017. Positive surgical margins, reexcision rates, resection volumes were investigated. Of total cohort, 124 with IUWLS 90...
