AMPULLECTOMIA E CARCINOMA GIGANTE DELLA PAPILLA DI VATER
2007
The case of a giant carcinoma of Vater's papilla is reported. The clinical/diagnostic paths and therapeutic indications for ampullectomy are analysed on the basis of the good survival rate observed more than five years after transduodenal excision and in the light of the most recent literature. The authors believe that accurate, early diagnosis and histological typing is fundamental for an appropriate selection of patients when complex surgical decisions have to be taken. They consider ampullectomy to be a valid therapeutic option, certainly in the case of benign neoplasias, and duodenocephalopancreasectomy (DCP) to be the operation of choice for the treatment of ampullar and periampullar m…
High Levels of Exogenous C2-Ceramide Promote Morphological and Biochemical Evidences of Necrotic Features in Thyroid Follicular Cells
2002
CD95 and ceramide are known to be involved in the apoptotic mechanism. The triggering of CD95 induces a cascade of metabolic events that progressively and dramatically modifies the cell shape by intense membrane blebbing, leading to apoptotic bodies production. Although the CD95 pathway has been abundantly described in normal thyrocytes, the effects of cell permeable synthetic ceramide at morphological and biochemical levels are not fully known. In the present study, we show that thyroid follicular cells (TFC) exposed to 20 μM of C2-ceramide for 4 h are characterized by morphological features of necrosis, such as electron-lucent cytoplasm, mitochondrial swelling, and loss of plasma membrane…
Tiroidectomia totale con impiego del dissettore ad ultrasuoni: risultati di uno studio prospettico randomizzato
2005
In the last years, the introduction and employment in surgery of the dissectors of last generation (ultrasounds, radiofrequency, etc.) have contributed to a remarkable improvement and simplification of the performances and the surgical techniques. The present study has the aim to verify, on the basis of the experience made in the last two years and through a careful comparisons with operations performed in the usual way, the advantages of employment of ultrasonic dissector in thyroid surgery and if besides such advantages it is possible to obtain real and substantial reductions of the complications. To such aim a randomized perspective study has been lead, confronting two groups of 60 patie…

CARCINOMA CON CELLULE CON CASTONE INSORTO SU POLIPO GASTRICO
2006
AIM: The authors signal a case of gastric polypoid signet ring cell carcinoma, of particular interest for its rarity like show from the review of the literature, which is the first to have been described after Tabaru's citation. METHODS: The study has been carried out at the Department of Surgical and Oncological Sciences of the University of Palermo. It has been based on 2000 cases analysed from June 2001 to December 2003. RESULTS: The authors advance some and emphasizes the diagnostic flow chart and therapeutic choices adopted. CONCLUSIONS: We agree that the endoscopic polypectomy is surgical procedure of first approach, but modifying the therapeutic guideline in relation to histologic ex…

ILEO BILIARE: DIAGNOSI E TRATTAMENTO. CASE REPORT
2006
The authors present a case of gallstone intermittent ileus caused by the passage of a big gallstone (about 4 cm in diameter) in the intestinal lumen, through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. They emphasize the peculiarity of the case for the characteristics of symptoms and for casual diagnostic check-up with a ultrasonography. The disease is not frequently diagnosed; today it has a safe recognition by modern imaging. The symptoms can be intermittent and, even when there are the classic signs of intestinal occlusion, the site of the occlusion is various. With a timely endoscopical or surgical approach (open or laparoscopic) it is possible to reduce mortality of patients treated in emergency.
