Near infrared light examination as part of the management of sporadic pancreatic head insulinoma: Case report.

Introduction: We report the case of a 77-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of pancreatic head insulinoma, in whom we used near infrared light (NIR) to detect synchronous pancreatic tumors and potential secondary lymph node or liver involvement. The patient presented with hypoglycemia manifesting by lipothymia. With the diagnosis of secretory neuroendocrine tumor (insulinoma) of the pancreatic head, cephalic pancreatoduodenectomy with the preservation of the pylorus was performed after NIR visualization of the pancreatic tumor mass.

Laparoscopic simultaneous partial pericystectomy and total cystectomy for hydatid liver cysts - case report.

Surgery remains the gold standard for the treatment of patients with echinococcosis, despite significant economic costs, advances in medical treatment and interventional radiology; in the past decades there has been a tendency toward laparoscopic surgery. We present a 66-year-old patient, from a rural area, who was admitted to our service complaining of spontaneous and palpatory pains in the right hypocondrium, headaches and dizziness. Abdominal CT scan highlighted 2 round calcified tumors, one of 7.

A pilot study to evaluate the effects of Cerebrolysin on cognition and qEEG in vascular dementia: cognitive improvement correlates with qEEG acceleration.

The effects of the neurotrophic compound Cerebrolysin (Cere) on cognitive performance, evaluated with the ADAS-cog, and on qEEG activity were investigated in forty one patients with mild to moderate severe probable vascular dementia (VaD) according to NINDS-AIREN criteria, included in a placebo-controlled pilot study. Patients received i.v.

[The experimental heterotopic transplantation of an isolated segment of colon].

The heterotopic transplantation of isolated colon segment was achieved in the cervical region, for to study the behaviour of the colon in this new situation. The study included 20 dogs from which there were taken segments of 10 cm length from, the left colon. Then was prepared the common carotid artery, superficial jugular vein and their branches.
