The hypothesis to use microRNAs (miRNAs) circulating in the blood as cancer biomarkers was formulated some years ago based on promising initial results. After exciting discoveries, however, it became evident that accurate quantification of cell-free miRNAs more challenging than expected. Difficulties were linked strong impact many, if not all, pre- and post- analytical variables have final In this study, we used currently available high-throughput technologies identify present plasma serum...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer and second leading cause of related death worldwide. Most HCCs occur in a damaged cirrhotic background it may be difficult to discriminate between regenerative nodules early HCCs. No dependable molecular biomarker exists for detection HCC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have attracted attention as potential blood-based biomarkers. To identify circulating miRNAs with diagnostic HCC, we performed preliminary RNAseq studies on plasma samples...
Abstract Background Laparoscopy is widely adopted across nearly all surgical subspecialties in the elective setting. Initially finding indication minor abdominal emergencies, it has gradually become standard approach majority of general surgery procedures. Despite many technological advances and increasing acceptance, laparoscopic remains underutilized emergency trauma. Emergency laparotomy continues to carry a high morbidity mortality. In recent years, there been growing interest from...
The trauma mortality rate is higher in the elderly compared with younger patients. Ageing associated physiological changes multiple systems and correlated frailty. Frailty a risk factor for We aim to provide evidence-based guidelines management of geriatric patients improve it reduce futile procedures.
Breast cancer circulating biomarkers include carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate 15-3, which are used for patient follow-up. Since sensitivity specificity low, novel more useful needed. The presence of stable microRNAs (miRNAs) in serum or plasma suggested a promising role these tiny RNAs as biomarkers. To acquire an absolute concentration miRNAs reduce the impact preanalytical analytical variables, we droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) technique.We investigated panel five sera two...
Despite the current therapeutic options for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, surgery is still frequently required in emergency setting, although number cases performed seems to have decreased recent years. The World Society Emergency Surgery decided debate a consensus conference experts, main pertinent issues around management disease emergent situation, with need provide focused guidelines acute care and surgeons.A group experienced surgeons gastroenterologists were nominated...
Although rectal cancer is predominantly a disease of older patients, current guidelines do not incorporate optimal treatment recommendations for the elderly and address only partially associated specific challenges encountered in this population. This results wide variation disparity delivering standard care to subset patients. As burden population continues increase, it crucial assess whether on strategies general can be adopted adults, with same beneficial oncological functional outcomes....
Abstract Background Timely access to the operating room for emergency general surgery (EGS) indications remains a challenge across globe, largely driven by availability and staffing constraints. The “timing in acute care surgery” (TACS) classification was previously published introduce new tool triage timely appropriate of EGS patients room. However, clinical operational effectiveness TACS has not been investigated subsequent validation studies. This study aimed improve provide further...
Emergency surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a higher postoperative morbidity and mortality rate poor long-term outcome compared elective surgery. The aim of the present study was to compare early late after emergency malignant cancer, looking principal determinants worse surgery.A retrospective 236 patients presenting over an 8-year period undertaken. Of these, 118 presented as emergencies, whereas patients, well matched age, sex, site tumor TNM admitted elective, were...
The anorectum is a rare anatomic location for primary melanoma. Mucosal melanoma distinct biological and clinical entity from the more common cutaneous It portrays worse prognosis than melanoma, with distant metastases being overwhelming cause of morbidity mortality. Surgery treatment choice, but significant controversy exists over extent surgical resection. We present an update on state art anorectal mucosal To illustrate multimodality approach to we typical patient.
Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a disruption surgical care. aim this multi-centric, retrospective study was evaluate impact on activity for thyroid disease among Italian Units Endocrine Surgery. Three phases were identified based epidemiological situation and public measures adopted from Government (1st phase: 9th March 3rd May 2020; 2nd 4th 14th June; 15th June 31st). patients operated upon during these compared those who underwent surgery same period previous...
