Background: The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the ability neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), aspartate-aminotransferase-to-lymphocyte (ALRI), systemic-inflammation index (SII) lymphocyte count predict oncologic outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Materials Methods: A single-center retrospective review 296 who were treated for 457 HCCs was performed. Pre- post-treatment...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare primary hepatic malignancy. One of the treatment strategies which has shown some promise transarterial radioembolization (TARE). However, data on dose thresholds, arguably most important aspect procedure itself, still limited. The study aims to evaluate relationship between tumor and radiologic response in intrahepatic patients undergoing radioembolization.

The Milan criteria for the selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) liver transplantation were originally based on findings contrast-enhanced CT examinations. Studies have shown improvement in HCC detection using MRI instead CT, but they provided little information potential downstream effect patient management that might result from discrepant imaging findings. We sought to assess eligibility undergo transplantation.From 2006 2013, a diagnosis who underwent both MDCT and...

To evaluate the dynamic changes of lymphocytes following transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their relationship to normal liver dose (NLD).A total 93 patients who underwent 102 treatments were retrospectively reviewed. Absolute lymphocyte counts pretreatment at 1, 3, 6, 12 months evaluated. Kaplan-Meier, Spearman correlation, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under curve (AUC) analyses performed.The mean absolute count baseline was...

To quantify rates and risk factors for toxicity after hepatic radioembolization using resin yttrium-90 microspheres.Radiation-Emitting SIR-Spheres in Non-resectable liver tumor (RESIN) registry enrollees were reviewed with 614 patients included. Mean patient age was 63.1±12.5 years. The majority of male (n=375, 61%) white (n=490, 80%). Common types hepatocellular (n=197, 32%), colorectal (n=187, 30%) neuroendocrine (n=56, 9%).

To determine injuries significantly associated with traumatic thoracic spine (T-spine) fracturesThis was a case-control study undertaken in an adult trauma centre. Cases were patients admitted T-spine fracture between January 1999 and August 2007. Each case had two controls matched for sex, age (+/-5 years) injury severity classification (major/minor). Data collected from patient medical records the service database. Multivariate logistic regression used to fracture.Two hundred sixty-one...

Acute pancreatitis occasionally presents as pancreatic abscess with complications like pleural effusion and ascites. There are several pre-disposing factors, the most common being cholelithiaisis, alcohol abuse, infective causes, trauma, metabolic causes such diabetic ketoacidosis, while some cases idiopathic. Here, we report a rare case of acute necrotizing in 40-year-old male who presented pain abdomen, ascites left basal effusion. A computerized tomography (CT) scan showed findings...
