The Historical Course of Varicose Vein Surgery in the Persian Medicine
Conclusion: The surgical treatment of varicose veins in the past was similar to modern surgical therapies. What distinguishes yesterday's varicose vein surgery from today's surgery is a more advanced tool. There is no denying the remarkable progress in using health principles, treatment techniques, and surgical instruments to facilitate surgery and reduce the disease's complications and recurrence. However, the treatment framework and foundation, such as phlebectomy and compression, were all invented and introduced in the distant past.PMID:37671628 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)

Adenocarcinoma arising from a chronic perianal fistula in a Crohn's disease patient: case report and review of the literature
Acta Chir Belg. 2023 Sep 5:1-4. doi: 10.1080/00015458.2023.2205722. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCrohn's disease patients frequently develop perianal fistulas during their life. They are also at higher risk to develop cancers. Rarely, those cancers appear within a prior chronic fistula. The main types are adenocarcinoma mostly mucinous and squamous cell carcinoma. They are generally discovered at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis because symptoms are generally the same as those of the fistula itself. Regular follow-up of chronic fistulas is then important for an early diagnosis as well as histological analysis of th...

Can stage-IIB lung cancer be divided into subgroups in terms of prognosis? A modelling study < sup > < /sup >
CONCLUSION: There was a prognostic difference between stage-IIB subsets in NSCLC patients. The model created for stage-IIB lung cancer showed a high discriminatory power for prognosis.PMID:37615953 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2023.2251802 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)
