Partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard treatment for small renal masses. This study aimed to assess impact of soft coagulation hemostasis on parenchymal volume reduction operated kidney after an open partial nephrectomy. We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients with tumors who underwent soft-coagulation at our institution. measured preoperative and postoperative volumes by computed tomography (CT) calculated ratio as volume/preoperative volume. performed multivariate analysis...
Epigenetic changes can lead to abnormal expression of genes in cancer, and several have been reported aberrant promoter DNA methylation non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We identified aberrantly methylated NSCLC by combination silico experimental approaches. first applied bioinformatics, from microarray datasets, we selected with low having functions related cancer. Next, combined bisulfite restriction analysis was carried out 10 pooled resected tissues screen for that were methylated, the...
Although similar patterns of phenotypic diversification are often observed in phylogenetically independent lineages, differences the magnitude and direction divergence have been also among even when exposed to same ecological gradients. The stickleback family is a good model with which explore genetic basis parallel nonparallel evolution, because there variety populations species that locally adapted divergent environments. as well mechanisms characterized threespine sticklebacks,...
Solitary pulmonary capillary hemangioma (SPCH) is a rare disease, first described about autopsy cases in 2000 and surgically resected 2006. To date, only 9 have been published English. Here, we report 7 original with surgery (median age, 54 y; 4 females, 2 never-smokers). All patients were asymptomatic, all nodules detected by computed tomography (CT). The median (range) size of nodule was 11 (8 to 16) mm. Six showed the part-solid appearance 1 pure ground-glass CT findings. growth speed...
To evaluate whether stress‐response indicators in blood plasma (BP) are similarly reflected the peritoneal fluid (PF) white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus were stressed by a 30 min air exposure and pH, PCO 2 , osmolality, cortisol, glucose lactate levels measured. Changes certain stress BP (pH, osmolality glucose) also occurred PF, while stressor‐induced changes cortisol restricted to BP. Data suggest that PF is modified ultrafiltrate of potentially useful indicator animal stress.
Abstract Radical cystectomy is a gold-standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We recently introduced robot-assisted radical (RARC) with perioperative enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). The medical records of patients cancer who underwent open (ORC) or RARC/ERAS at NTT Medical Center Tokyo were retrospectively reviewed to compare the surgical outcomes, hospital stay, and costs between groups. Multidisciplinary full ERAS items provided group. median estimated blood losses...
Introduction Patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome have high risks of uterine cutaneous leiomyomas carcinoma (RCC), which are caused by germline mutation the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. RCC lesions mostly high‐grade tumors a poor prognosis. Case presentation A 37‐year‐old man who had previously undergone treatment for left was referred to our hospital diagnosis right RCC. Robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy performed, pathological revealed...
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for early lung cancer has become technically feasible. We sought to determine if VATS preserved chest wall muscle postoperatively better than thoracotomy. Consecutive patients who underwent between 2004 and 2006 clinical Stage IA non-small cell through (VATS group) or posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT at our institution were eligible the study. The cross-sectional areas of bilateral latissimus dorsi (LDM) lower end scapula obtained by computed...
There is limited information on perioperative renal function during off-clamp, non-renorrhaphy open partial nephrectomy. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to identify predictive factors of decline in after nephrectomy.Clinical records 138 patients with tumors who underwent nephrectomy at our institution were reviewed. Off-clamp, was performed using a soft coagulation system. Perioperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation calculated, and predictors identified...
Carcinosarcomas with elements of cholangiocarcinoma and sarcoma are rare have a poor prognosis. The spreading pattern radiological findings these lesions remain unclear. A 74-year-old man presented high γ-glutamyl transferase level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed dilation the right intrahepatic common bile ducts, consistent an intraductal papillary neoplasm duct (IPNB), diffusion-weighted (DWI) indicated area signal intensity in duct. Bile biopsy yielded small amount atypical spindle...
Complex aortic atheroma is a high-risk factor for recurrent embolic stroke. An accurate identification of stroke etiology clinically important; however, it can be challenging. A 91-year-old man with atrial fibrillation was diagnosed cardioembolic and treated mechanical thrombectomy. The removed thrombus microscopically contained foamy cells, suggesting an atheroembolism. autopsy revealed atherosclerotic lesion ulceration, located in the arch. At lesion, plaque had ruptured into lumen. We...
Metastatic diseases rarely develop in the colorectum, and diagnosing colorectal metastasis by biopsy without history of a malignant tumor or clinical information primary is challenging. A 65-year-old woman with 6-month constipation diarrhea was admitted to our hospital diagnosed rectosigmoid colonic micropapillary carcinoma. Low anterior resection performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Because lipoleiomyoma uterus obstructed operator’s vision, total hysterectomy bilateral...
