Background Single-nucleotide variations (SNVs; formerly SNPs) are inherited genetic variants that can be easily determined in routine clinical practice using a simple blood or saliva test. SNVs have potential to serve as noninvasive biomarkers for predicting cancer-specific patient outcomes after resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Two recent analyses led the identification and validation three CD44 CHI3L2 genes (rs187115, rs353630, rs684559), which used predictive help...
BACKGROUND:We report a case of surgical central venous port system implantation using Seldinger's technique with life-threatening mediastinal hematoma due to the perforation superior vena cava. CASE REPORT:A 68-year-old woman was admitted our institution for implantation. Open access cephalic vein and 2 punctures right subclavian were unsuccessful. Finally, catheter could be placed into cava technique. As blood aspiration via not possible, fluoroscopy performed, revealing contrast...
Biliodigestive leaks are typically caused by an insufficiency at the surgical anastomosis. anastomosis (BDA) insufficiencies can lead to bilomas, abscesses and vascular erosion in chronic conditions.We performed a retrospective analysis of medical radiological records all patients with biliodigestive who received interventional treatment between July 2015 February 2021. Nine (three unilateral drainage six bilateral drainage) were treated modified percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage...
Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a relevant problem in colorectal surgery. The aim of this study is to implement bundle care order reduce SSIs
Abstract Background A growing body of work suggests that inherited genetic variants can be utilized as non-invasive biomarkers to predict cancer-specific patient outcomes and guide therapy after resection pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Specifically, two recent retrospective analyses led the identification validation three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CD44 CHI3L2 genes (SNPrs187115, SNPrs353630, SNPrs684559) serve predictive help select patients who are likely benefit...
