Breast cancer (BC) caused 685,000 deaths globally in 2020, earning the title of most common type tumor among females. With a multifactorial genesis, BC is influenced by several factors such as age, genetic and epigenetic predisposition, an individual’s exposome, its classification based on morphological/histological, invasiveness, molecular futures. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived lipid-bilayer-delimited nanoparticles, which distinguishable size, markers expressed exosomes (40...
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term efficacy percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for treatment hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules.One hundred twenty-five patients (88 women, 37 men; age range, 17-76 years; mean age, 53 years) with 127 nodules (volume, 1.2-90 mL; mean, 10.3 mL) were treated PEI. There 1-11 PEI sessions per patient (average, 3.9) performed, 1-14 mL session (total injected patient, 3-108 14.0 mL). Efficacy assessed color Doppler sonography; scintigraphy; and...
Post-operatory wound infections are a very uncommon finding after thyroidectomy. For these reasons international guidelines do not routinely recommend systemic antibiotic prophylaxis. The benefits of this prophylaxis is supported by clinical evidence in the literature. We have conducted multicentric randomized double-blind trial on 500 patients who had undergone thyroidectomy for goitre or thyroid carcinoma. enrolled study (mean age 47 years) were two subgroups 250 patients. treated with...
We conducted an observational multicentric clinical study on a cohort of patients undergoing thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma. The aim this was to evaluate the benefits use ultrasonic dissector (UAS) vs. conventional technique (vessel clamp and tie) in surgery cancer.From June 2009 May 2010 we evaluated 321 consecutive electively admitted undergo total first 201 (89 males, 112 females) presenting our Department underwent with UAS while following 120 (54 66 performed (CT): vessel tie.The...
Hypocalcemia caused by transient or definitive hypoparathyroidism is the most frequent complication after total thyroidectomy (TT). We aimed to compare impact of age and clinical usefulness oral calcium vitamin D supplements on postoperative hypocalcemia TT, determine which risk factors are important for incidence. Two hundred consecutive patients treated TT were included prospectively in present study. All supplemented post-operative time. The data concerning symptomatic...
Background. Hemostasis during thyroidectomy is essential; however, the safest, most efficient, and cost-effective way to achieve this unclear. This randomized, multicenter, single-blind, prospective study evaluated efficacy safety of using different hemostatic approaches in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Methods. Patients aged ≥18 70 years were randomized Floseal + a harmonic scalpel (HS), alone, HS or standard Primary endpoint was 24-hour drain output. Secondary endpoints included...
Breast conservative surgery is the primary therapeutic choice for non-aggressive early breast cancers, and a minimally-invasive approach strongly recommended. The localization represents modern challenge surgery. Wire-guided still gold standard technique, but new wireless systems have been proposed, such as radiofrequency identification with LOCalizerTM (Hologic, Santa Carla, CA, USA), which reports encouraging results. current study aimed to evaluate accuracy efficacy of combined use...
Axillary lymphadenectomy or sentinel biopsy is integral part of breast cancer treatment, yet seroma formation occurs in 15-85% cases. Among methods employed to reduce magnitude and duration, fibrin glue has been proposed numerous studies with controversial results. Thirty patients over 60 years underwent quadrantectomy mastectomy level I/II axillary lymphadenectomy; a suction drain was fitted all patients. Fibrin spray were applied the fossa 15 patients; other treated harmonic scalpel....
