Background In patients with liver cancer, portal vein embolization (PVE) is recommended to promote growth before major hepatectomies. However, the optimal strategy has not been established. Purpose To compare regeneration as seen at CT in participants hepatectomies, N-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) plus iodized oil versus standard polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles coils, for PVE. Materials and Methods this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial (Best Future Liver Remnant, or...

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the expression and prognostic role tight junction protein occludin in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Occludin by immunohistochemistry analyzed 602 HGSC (417 effusions, 185 surgical specimens). Expression mesothelioma (n = 87; 45 42 specimens) studied for comparative purposes. found 587/602 (98%) vs. 40/87 (46%) mesotheliomas predominantly limited < 5% cells latter (p 0.001). additionally overexpressed effusions compared specimens...

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with multiple comorbidities, and its association lymphoma has recently been topic of debate. However, it still controversial whether this risk can be attributed to the itself or any relationship immunosuppressive treatment. Here, we describe case patient severe perianal hidradenitis treated methotrexate infliximab, whose exacerbation persistence symptoms refractory adequate treatment led diagnosis diffuse large non-Hodgkin...

To analyze the expression and prognostic role of L1CAM in tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC).L1CAM protein by immunohistochemistry was analyzed 644 HGSC (413 effusions, 231 surgical specimens). Expression for association with clinicopathologic parameters survival.L1CAM found 401/413 (97%) effusions 209/231 (90%) specimens, significantly higher staining extent (p < 0.001). unrelated to > 0.05).
