Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver with Epithelioid Features: A Case Report of an Exceptional Histological Heterogeneity among Rare Diseases
CONCLUSION: UESL is associated with a poor prognosis, especially in adults, but a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment based on radical resection and adjuvant therapy may provide a survival benefit. Surgical excision with negative margins remains mandatory to diagnose and treat UESL.PMID:38684493 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3374 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Correlation between Ki-67 or Profilin-1 Expression Levels, Clinicopathological Characteristics and Postoperative Prognosis in Patients with Bladder Cancer
CONCLUSION: The positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1 in bladder tumor tissue are significantly higher than those in bladder tissue, and pathological pattern, histological grade, clinical stage, infiltration, and lymph node metastasis are related to the positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1, and different genders, ages, tumors diameter and vascular invasion are not related to the positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1. The survival time and three-year survival rates of bladder cancer patients with Ki-67 positive and PFN1 positive expression are shorter.PMID:38684494 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3335 (Source: Annali ...

Implications of Pretreatment Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels and Perineural Invasion with Staging, Prognosis, and Management in Stage I-III Colon Cancer after Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study in the SEER Database
CONCLUSION: For postoperative patients with stage I-III colon cancer, our study indicated that the CP stage is a significant prognostic factor for CSS, which deserves more clinical attention. It's worth noting that including the CP stage in the AJCC TNM staging system of colon carcinoma is beneficial to the survival prediction and clinical treatment.PMID:38684496 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3296 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Postoperative Bowel Obstruction as a Rare Complication of an Abdominal Drain
Ann Ital Chir. 2024;95(2):132-135. doi: 10.62713/aic.3294.ABSTRACTAlthough routine intra-abdominal drain insertion following surgery represents a common practice worldwide, its utility has been questioned during the last decades. Several comparative studies have failed to document significant benefits from routine draining, and drain insertion has been correlated with various complications as well. Drain-related complications include, but are not limited, to infection, bleeding, and tissue erosion. Herein, we present the case of a 32-year-old patient with perforated peptic ulcer and purulent peritonitis, whose postoperativ...

Intragastric Balloon as a Noninvasive Method for Obesity Treatment: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
CONCLUSIONS: Balloon therapy typically helps patients lose 10% of body weight. Intragastric balloons are effective when used as weight loss tools, but are ineffective at maintaining weight loss. An intragastric device placed for 6 months may also be expected to help the patients develop better eating habits; however, we did not encounter this lifestyle change in our series.PMID:38684492 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3376 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

The Relationship of Microsatellite Instability with BRAF and p53 Mutations and Histopathological Parameters in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
CONCLUSION: In colorectal adenocarcinoma, MSI and BRAF mutation are associated with parameters, indicating the host immune response and prognostic histopathological parameters, including tumor size and histological grade. The evaluation of MSI status and BRAF mutation can be particularly informative for predicting the prognosis and guiding the treatment management in poorly differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma. Understanding the mechanisms of molecular carcinogenesis in colorectal carcinoma and organizing treatment algorithms based on molecular foundations will increase the success of the treatment.PMID:38684491 | DOI:...

Treatment Options and the Management of Complications in Hydatid Cysts of the Liver in Endemic Regions

Proposal of a classification of cannulation damage in vascular access grafts based on clinical, ultrasound, and microscopic observations
CONCLUSION: Cannulation damage alone does not solely account for AVG failure. It results from a biological host-mediated process that promotes the growth of intimal hyperplasia at the cannulation sites. This process is not clinically significant within the initial 2 years after AVG creation.PMID:38679815 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241248263 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

The association between vascular access satisfaction and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients
J Vasc Access. 2024 Apr 29:11297298241244483. doi: 10.1177/11297298241244483. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The mortality is significantly higher in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) than in the general population. It is well-known that vascular access (VA) is critical for MHD patients. But the association between VA satisfaction and all-cause mortality in MHD patients is still not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between VA satisfaction and all-cause mortality in MHD patients with a 30-month follow-up.METHODS: Two hundred twenty-nine MHD patients in two dialysis cen...
