Novel Noninvasive Paraclinical Study Method for Investigation of Liver Diseases.

Based on a prior university patent, the authors developed a novel type of bioimpedance-based test method to noninvasively detect nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The development of a new potential NAFLD diagnostic procedure may help to understand the underlying mechanisms between NAFLD and severe liver diseases with a painless and easy-to-use paraclinical examination method, including the additional function to detect even the earlier stages of liver disease. The aim of this study is to present new results and the experiences gathered in relation to NAFLD progress during animal model and human clinical trials.

The Effect of Trimetazidine on Diathermy-related Thermic Injury of the Rat Liver.

Background/aim: Owing to new oncotherapy modalities, the importance of an R0 resection decreased in the last decade; however, liver metastasis of colorectal cancer significantly decreases survival. Furthermore, to prevent cardiovascular disease, more and more patients are treated with anti-ischemic drugs, which may influence oncologic treatments in such patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of Trimetazidine on liver surface injury after spray diathermy.

Short- and Long-term Histological Changes in Liver Parenchyma After Different Resection Methods and Their Potential Role in Treatment of Colorectal Liver Metastasis.

Background/aim: Optimal surgical margins, parenchymal-sparing technique and the effect of the surgical devices on the liver resection surface are currently hot topics. The aim of this study was to set up a surviving animal model to detect histological changes on the resection surface induced by the resection method and the thermal effect of monopolar electrocautery in 'spray mode'.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats were used; all rats were subjected to standardized liver resection and resection surface coagulation.

The Issue of Survival After Colorectal Liver Metastasis Surgery: Parenchyma Sparing . Radicality.

Background/aim: Nowadays, obtaining optimal surgical margin of the resected metastasis and the parenchyma- sparing surgical technique are a great challenge for hepatic surgeons. The aim of this follow-up study was to investigate the prognostic value of the surgical margin and the parenchyma- sparing liver resection technique.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the data of 319 patients [123 (36.

[Rare bile duct anatomy variant - Right bile duct intraparenchymal junction into the left bile duct].

The authors present a case of a 67-year-old male patient, who previously had been diagnosed with a malignant liver tumor localized in segment II. He underwent bisegmentectomy (II and III) and partial IV segmentectomy. After the primary surgery jaundice developed, the level of bilirubin increased and after several imaging modalities reoperation was indicated.

[Acute appendicitis in a patient with perianal Crohn's disease receiving infliximab].

The differential diagnosis of acute abdominal complaints is challenging in Crohn's disease. This is particularly true in patients in remission induced by biological therapy. In addition to the acute relapse of Crohn's disease, other common causes, such as acute appendicitis exhibiting similar and often atypical course, should be taken into consideration irrespective of the age.

[Resection of liver and abdominal wall metastasis 11 years after pancreatoduodenectomy. Case report].

Pancreatic cancer has adverse prognosis. Disease recurrence is typical and it occurs mainly within the first 2 years postoperatively. However late and soliter metastases are rare.
