Predictive value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in visceral fat activity to detect colorectal cancer metastases (prospective observational cohort study).

To evaluate functional visceral adipose tissue (VAT) activity assessed by F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as a predictive factor of metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We reviewed study protocols and PET/CT data of 534 CRC patients; 474 patients were subsequently excluded for various reasons. The remaining 60 patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma were then prospectively assessed and were exposed to F-FDG PET/CT after a surgical treatment and chemoradiotherapy.

[Preparation glycosaminosulphate efficacy in comprehensive treatment of patients with odontogenic phlegmon of maxillofacial region].

The results of 20 patients (with odontogenic phlegmon of maxillofacial region) treatment by glycosaminosulphate were compared with the results of patients received traditional treatment. Significant speeding-up of the blood indices normalization terms, humoral immunity factors and postoperative wound regeneration after odontogenic phlegmon of maxillofacial region lancing was determined.
