The objective of this study was to assess the impact preoperative anemia (hematocrit <39%) on postoperative 30-day mortality and adverse cardiac events in patients 65 years or older undergoing elective vascular procedures.Preoperative is associated with outcomes after surgery, but its association open endovascular procedures not well established. Elderly have a decreased tolerance are at high risk for complications procedures.Patients (N = 31,857) were identified from American College...

Lung cancer still remains one of the most common cancers throughout world, especially in smokers. Adenocarcinoma is now predominant histological type many western countries. The etiology adenocarcinoma unknown, but evidence suggests that atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) may act as a precursor lesion. Here we present two case reports patients diagnosed with AAH on biopsy, highlighting 1) available treatment strategies and 2) AAH’s progression to adenocarcinoma. A review warranted little...
Pulmonary hamartomas are benign lesions that often managed conservatively in the absence of respiratory symptoms. Increasing reports malignant transformation question if a more aggressive treatment or surveillance practice for these is warranted adult patients. Herein, we describe case 67-year-old man with long history pulmonary hamartoma demonstrated degeneration into spindle cell malignancy chondromatous differentiation. This illustrates nature sarcomatous disease arising from and, handful...
Sertoli Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) is a rare sex-cord stromal of the ovary that generally has benign course. Here, we report an unusual case recurrent, metastatic SLCT and its unique management with combination cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, intrathoracic systemic chemotherapy.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a rare congenital heart disease that complicates surgical management of pathology. This case describes the successful 73-year-old female with left upper lobe adenocarcinoma and pre-operative discovery superior into innominate vein. patient presented to our clinic for evaluation regarding her newly discovered lung.
