SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: A survey among medical students in a Brazilian public university was performed to investigate the acceptance of organ donation Brazil, particularly after circulatory death (DCD). METHODS: questionnaire including 26 objectives and Likert scale questions validated sent all our institution. The answers were analyzed considering whole set individuals as well by dividing into two groups: less graduated more students. RESULTS: From 1050 students, 103 spontaneous (9.8%) retrieved...
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a relatively uncommon but highly aggressive primary liver cancer that originates within the liver. The aim of this study to review molecular profile intrahepatic and its implications for prognostication decision-making. This comprehensive characterization ICC tumors sheds light on disease’s underlying biology offers foundation more personalized treatment strategies. narrative prognostic therapeutic role ICC. Knowing helps determine prognosis support...
Hepatic resection (HR) and liver transplantation (LT) are potentially curative treatments for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to analyze the survival patients with HCC indications surgical treatment (HR or LT) in a high-volume center. This retrospective cohort consecutive LT HR from May 2006 July 2019. Analysis overall (OS) disease-free (DFS) rates, univariate analysis construction multivariable model identify risk factors were performed. A total 744 evaluated, 563...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety intravenous ketamine-propofol admixture ("ketofol") in same syringe for procedural sedation analgesia children undergoing bone marrow aspiration.This a prospective, observational pilot study. Patients aged between 4 12 years requiring aspiration were included. Ketofol (1:1 mixture ketamine 10 mg/mL propofol mg/mL) given intravenously 0.5 mg/kg aliquots each with 1-min interval titrated reach levels 3 or (Ramsay score)....
Bone chondrosarcomas are rare malignant tumors that have variable biologic behavior, and their treatment is controversial. For low-grade tumors, there no consensus on whether intralesional en bloc resections the best treatment.We therefore compared patients with Grade 1 2 primary central to (1) determine difference in survival (2) local recurrence rates; (3) any association of histological grade some clinical demographic characteristics.We retrospectively reviewed 46 chondrosarcomas. There...
The impact of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) in liver recipients remains largely unknown. Most data derive from small retrospective series patients transplanted years ago. We aimed to report a single-center case five consecutive the early postoperative period deceased-donor transplantation who developed nosocomial COVID-19. Two presented important respiratory discomfort and eventually died. One was 69 old had severe coronary disease. She rapidly worsened after COVID-19 diagnosis on 9th...
Pseudoaneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery is a very rare, potentially fatal complication neck space infection in children associated with high mortality and morbidity. A 3-year-old boy presented spontaneous massive epistaxis 45 days after deep caused by peritonsillar abscess. During nasopharyngeal packing, he evolved cardiac arrest. Intra-arterial angiography was then performed that revealed large pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular treatment using detachable balloons achieved complete...
To analyze the rate at which lungs available for transplantation in State of São Paulo 2006 were utilized and to determine lung donor profile same period.A retrospective study 497 clinical charts tissue donors from January December 2006.According charts, not offered transplant 149 cases (30%), therefore excluded study. Among 348 eligible inclusion study, mean age was 37.4 +/- 16.1 years, 56.9% males. The main causes brain death among stroke (in 40.5%), skull-brain trauma 34.2%) subarachnoid...
This study sought to identify the relationship between fibroblast telomerase expression, myofibroblasts, and telomerase-mediated regulatory signals in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.Thirty-four surgical lung biopsies, which had been obtained from patients with fibrosis histologically classified as usual interstitial pneumonia, were examined. Immunohistochemistry was used evaluate myofibroblast α-smooth muscle actin expression tissue of inter leu kin-4, transforming growth factor-β, basic...
Dissection of the central compartment neck (CCN) is performed for proven or suspected lymph node metastases thyroid carcinoma. During this procedure, recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands are at risk. The purpose study was to determine anatomic distribution nodes in CCN.The CCN studied by dissection 30 fresh cadavers. soft tissue between cricoid cartilage innominate vein, carotid arteries, prevertebral fascia removed divided according sublevels. Nodules were identified palpation...
Surgical treatment of abdominal hernias in cirrhotics is often delayed due to the higher morbidity and mortality associated with underlying liver disease. Some patients are followed conservatively only operated on when complications occur ("wait see" approach). The aim this study compare outcomes cirrhotic undergoing conservative non-operative care or elective hernia repair.A prospective observational including 246 was carried out. Patients were given option select their treatment: repair...
Determining levels of tumor markers in peritoneal washing enables likelihood recurrence to be ascertained patients with high marker levels, thereby allowing provision more accurate adjuvant treatment and postoperative follow up.To analyze the relationship between CA72-4 serum washing, morphological aspects gastric carcinoma.This study analyzed 32 consecutively-operated carcinoma, who underwent subtotal, total or palliative gastrectomy. The variables studied were lesion site, stage, degree...
