: Case presentation: We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient who developed an acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, two months after term delivery by cesarian section. The diagnosis gestational trophoblastic neoplasia was suspected due to high level HCG in post-partum period and thoracic imaging suggesting multiple pulmonary metastases. No biopsy available. She subsequently severe ARDS veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) support...
Main recommendations 1 ESGE recommends the combination of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) and retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-based as preferred diagnostic approach for in patients with jaundice distal extrahepatic biliary stricture absence a pancreatic mass. 2 suggests that brushing cytology should be completed along fluoroscopy-guided biopsies, wherever technically feasible, perihilar strictures. 3 EUS-TA strictures when ERCP-based modalities yield...
Abstract Background and study aims Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide with limited treatment options. Duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) has been associated improvement in glycaemic parameters function tests (LFTs) type 2 diabetes. This aimed to assess the effect DMR patients NASH. Patients methods was single-center, open-label pilot study. definite, biopsy-proven NASH (nonalcoholic fatty activity score [NAS] ≥ 4) underwent single...
Background: Extrarenal rhabdoid tumours (ERT) are highly aggressive that poorly responsive to standard cytotoxic chemotherapy and associated with a grim prognosis. Primary ERT of the liver most commonly observed in early childhood exceptionally rare later life. Case presentation: We report case 16-year-old male patient, presenting flu-like symptoms after his second COVIDvaccination. During work-up, large solid lesion was incidentally discovered upon abdominal ultrasound examination....
The most frequently invaded margins on pancreatoduodenectomy specimens for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are vascular margins, particularly the superior mesenteric artery (or mesopancreatic) margin. Due to limited exploration of radiological aspect mesopancreas, aim this study was evaluate mesopancreatic infiltration through imaging patients with who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, correlate these findings histopathology and their impact survival.
Recent data demonstrated that personalized dosimetry-based selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) is associated with better outcome for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We aim to evaluate the contribution of predictive dosimetry (performed Simplicity90® software) in our population HCC patients by comparing them historical cohort whose activity was determined standard dosimetry.This a retrospective, single-center study conducted between February 2016 and December 2020 included who...
Abstract Background and study aims Lateral duodenal wall perforation by a migrated stent is potential complication of biliary stenting. By systematic database revision, we identified series six patients with lateral caused displaced plastic that were treated over-the-scope clip (OTSC) between January 1, 2014 March 31, 2019. In this series, most cases related to stenting benign strictures single or double the use stents longer than 12 cm. OTSC permitted closure in all cases. Most had an...
We report the case of an 18-year old male with a history asymmetric weakness and amyotrophy distal upper extremities, suggestive Hirayama disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cervical spine was obtained both in flexion neutral position. Flexion MRI showed forward displacement dura subsequent cord compression, associated marked enlargement postcontrast enhancement posterior epidural plexus. These findings are pathognomonic disorder. On abnormalities may be subtle: our case, they included...
While outcomes after spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SP-DP) have been widely reported, impacts on splenic parenchyma not well studied. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes, particularly spleen-related by assessing imaging SP-DP with or without vessels removal.Data for all patients who underwent removal (Warshaw technique, WDP) preservation (Kimura KDP) between 2010 and 2022 in two tertiary centres were retrospectively analysed. Splenic ischemia volume at early/late...
Evaluation of safety and efficacy selective balloon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization using polyethylene glycol embolizing microspheres in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Twenty-four consecutive were included this monocentric prospective trial. Adverse events evaluated at 24 h 1 month. Imaging response according to modified evaluation criteria solid tumors was assessed 1, 3 6 months.The median time follow-up 22.8 months (interquartile range (IQR) 17.38-26.22). Clinical grade...
Background Concomitant venous resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma with mesenterico-portal vein involvement is increasingly performed to achieve oncological resection. This study aims report a single centre experience in peritoneal patch (PP) as autologous graft vascular reconstruction (VR) PD.Methods A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent PD + VR PP between December 2019 and September 2020 was performed, using prospective collected...
