PS01.162: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN SURVIVAL BETWEEN YOUNGER AND OLDER GASTRIC CANCER (INCLUDING AEG II AND AEG III) PATIENTS AFTER GASTRECTOMY?

2018

Abstract Background The incidence of gastric cancer decreases in the western world, however, it remains one of the most common diseases (1). There is just little data from Europe comparing the outcome of young and elderly gastric cancer patients. This study compares, depending on the age of 266 patients, the outcome of 266 consecutive gastrectomy cases due to gastric cancer Methods 266 consecutive patients with gastric cancer received a gastrectomy between 2008–2016 at our comprehensive cancer centre. The mean age of the patients in this study was 64 years old (21- 93 years). All patients were followed up regarding survival. The patients were separated in 6 different groups, depending on th…

Tonsillectomy in IgA Nephropathy - Clinical Case

2021

Abstract This article presents the clinical case of IgA nephropathy of a patient hospitalized in order to investigate a nephritic syndrome, apparently with acute onset, discovered in the following circumstances: recurrent macroscopic hematuria, decreased urinary volume, the first episode occurring about a month ago in the context of an acute infection of upper airways, remitted under antibiotic therapy, with reappearance every 2 weeks, also accompanied by odynophagia and decreased urinary volume.

Pancreatic and periampullary tumours: morbidity, mortality, functional results, and long-term survival

2009

Abstract Aims To evaluate postoperative morbidity and mortality, pancreatic function and long-term survival in patients with surgically treated pancreatic or periampullar tumours. Patients and methods Cohort study including 160 patients consecutively operated on: 80 pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD), 30 distal pancreatectomies (DP), 7 total pancreatectomies, 4 central pancreatic resections, and 3 ampullectomies. The tumour was not resected in 36 patients. Pancreatic function was evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test, faecal fat excretion, and elastase. Results Resectability rate was 77.5%. In resected patients (n = 124), 38.7% had complications with a pancreatic fistula rate of 6.4% and a m…

Prognostisch relevante Faktoren bei der intraabdominalen infektion

1992

From 1.1.1982-30.9.1989 280 patients were treated for intraabdominal infection at the clinic for general and abdominal surgery. With regard to their prognostic significance, the extent and localization of the peritonitis, abscess formation, the number of failed organ system, patients' age, total protein, thrombocytes and leucocytes were examined in these patients. The most unfavorable prognosis showed diffuse peritonitis with a mortality rate of 47.2%. Subsequent abscessing worsened the prognosis of the illness. There was a close correlation between the number of failed organ systems at the time of hospitalization and mortality. Low total protein content or more so a necessary substitution …

Significance of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) in Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Potential New Therapeutic Targets

2021

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a well-known complication of diabetes and a significant burden on the national health systems. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio are inexpensive and easily accessible biomarkers that have proved to be useful in several inflammatory, infectious and cardiovascular diseases. We carried out a comprehensive review examining the association of NLR and PLR with the onset and progression of DFU. PLR and NLR were significantly increased in patients with DFU, compared with a control group of T2DM patients without DFU, and correlate well with DFU severity, evaluated by Wagner and IWGDF grading scales. In patients with diabetic foot infect…

Skin-nipple-sparing mastectomy: The first approach in primary myxoid chondrosarcoma of the breast

2017

Abstract The primary mammary chondrosarcoma corresponds to less than 0,5% of the mammary malignancies. For the period ranging from 1967 to 2014, only 18 cases were reported in the literature. A 41 year old woman found a hard nodule on her external right superior quadrant/axillary prolongation through breast self-examination. The vacuum-assisted core biopsy (VACB) revealed “high grade extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma”. A skin-nipple-sparing mastectomy with the insertion of a mammary expander was performed. A protocol of adjuvant radiotherapy was also indicated. Until 2013, the gold standard was the radical mastectomy. By 2014, there were two cases of conservative approach to quadrantecto…

Prädiktive genetische Untersuchungen: Individualisierung von Diagnostik und Therapie bei Familien mit multipler endokriner Neoplasie Typ II

2008

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE When multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is suspected, genetic tests are at the centre of screening procedures. It was the aim of this study to compare the diagnostic value of molecular biological investigations with that of conventional biochemical tests. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study cohort consisted of all 144 patients cared for in our department since 1990 with the suspected diagnosis of MEN2 (evidence of a medullary thyroid carcinoma [MTC]), coexistence of two MEN2 tumours or a family history of MEN2. 14 of the 144 patients (from 12 families) were already known to have an hereditary MTC, while the remaining 130 had been referred for further diagnostic i…

Prognostische Bedeutung des e-Cadherin beim papillären Schilddrüsencarcinom

1998

The prognostic significance of e-cadherin in papillary thyroid carcinoma was evaluated in a retrospective study. From September 1985 to December 1996, 113 patients underwent surgery for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Seventy-eight formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples were available for immunohistochemical analysis of e-cadherin expression. In 74 of these 78 patients the postoperative course is known for 2 months to 35.2 years (median 3.6 years, mean: 4.9 +/- 4.8 years). Reduced or negative e-cadherin expression ( 20%. Statistical analysis revealed e-cadherin expression ( 20%), synchronous distant metastasis (M0/pM1, cM1) and radicality of resection (R0/R1, 2) as significant risk f…

Management of Small Bowel Perforation by a Bizarre Foreign Body in a 55-Year-Old Woman

2018

Introduction. Ingestion of foreign bodies including dentures, fishbone, screw, and/or surgical devices can be a cause of morbidity, and it rarely could be fatal. Presentation of Case. We present the first hitherto reported case of mussel shell ingestion, which caused acute abdominal pain in a 55-year-old woman. The shell pierced ileal loops, and it was found in the abdominal cavity. Discussion. The accidental or voluntary ingestion of a foreign body is an uncommon event compared to the other causes of bowel perforation. It is fundamental to immediately remove the intestinal fluid, repair the tear, and prevent sepsis, because each delay in diagnosis can lead to a worst outcome. Conclusion. I…
