A Retrospective, Single-Centre Study on the Learning Curve for Liver Tumor Open Resection in Patients with Hepatocellular Cancers and Intrahepatic Cholagangiocarcinomas.

Background: Liver resections have become the first-line treatment for primary malignant tumors and, therefore, are considered a core aspect of surgical training. This study aims to evaluate the learning curve for the safety of open hemihepatectomy procedures for patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).

Methods: This single tertiary center retrospective analysis includes 81 consecutive cases of right or left hemihepatectmy.

Learning Curve for Metastatic Liver Tumor Open Resection in Patients with Primary Colorectal Cancer: Use of the Cumulative Sum Method.

Background: Liver resections have become the first-line treatment for primary and metastatic tumors and, therefore, are considered a core aspect of surgical training. This study aims to evaluate the learning curve of the extent and safety of liver resection procedures for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Methods: This single tertiary center retrospective analysis includes 158 consecutive cases of small liver resection (SLR) (n = 107) and major liver resection (MLR) (n = 58) procedures.

Mechanism of Atg9 recruitment by Atg11 in the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting pathway.

Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway for the removal of damaged and superfluous cytoplasmic material. This is achieved by the sequestration of this cargo material within double-membrane vesicles termed autophagosomes. Autophagosome formation is mediated by the conserved autophagy machinery.

Hospital Inpatient Falls across Clinical Departments.

Background: Inpatient falls are common hospital adverse events. We aimed to determine inpatient fall rates in an urban public hospital and analyzed their characteristics across clinical departments.

Methods: The study was conducted in a 350-bed urban, multi-specialty public hospital in the 2013-2019 period.

Short-term outcomes of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, including ruptured cases.

Introduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair as a minimally invasive alternative has become a commonly used surgical method for treating patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Aim: To analyze short-term outcomes of endovascular treatment of AAA patients, including ruptured cases.

Material And Methods: From 2010 to 2015, 247 patients with AAA were treated using the endovascular aneurysm repair technique.

Synthon preference in the cocrystal of 3,4,5-trifluorophenylboronic acid with urea.

The comprehensive description of the crystal structure of a novel 1:1 cocrystal of 3,4,5-trifluorophenylboronic acid with urea, CHBFO·CHNO, is presented. Both components are good candidates for crystal engineering as they can create a variety of supramolecular synthons. The preference for the formation of different hetrosynthons is verified based on theoretical calculations.

Effectiveness of mesh hernioplasty in incarcerated inguinal hernias.

Introduction: The use of mesh is still controversial in patients undergoing emergency incarcerated hernia repair, mostly because of potential infectious complications.

Aim: The main aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of tension-free methods in treating incarcerated inguinal hernias (IIH), with and without intestine resection. The secondary aim was to establish an algorithm on how to proceed with incarcerated hernias.

Abdominal ultrasonography in detecting and surgical treatment of pancreatic carcinoma.

The Aim Of The Study: was to asses the clinical value of percutaneous abdominal ultrasonography in diagnosis, staging and surgical treatment of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.

Material And Methods: Prospective clinical trial on diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous abdominal ultrasonography was conducted in 409 consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer which were operated on at the I Dept. of General Surgery in Cracow between 2000 and 2010.
