Classic and molecular cytogenetic findings in leukemia patients from the Western part of Romania.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia in childhood and rare in adults, while acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is less common in children and more common in older adults. The aim of the study was to present our experience for the diagnostic of leukemia by using the classic and molecular cytogenetic methods. The study was conducted between 2009 and 2019 within the Classic and Molecular Genetic Laboratory of the Oncohematology Department from the Louis Ţurcanu Emergency Hospital for Children, Timişoara, Romania.

Dyspepsia and Gut Microbiota in Female Patients with Postcholecystectomy Syndrome.

Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) represents one of the most frequent digestive disorders, highly reported in female gender. The purpose of the study was to explore the clinical and gut microbiota particularities of female patients with postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) and the possible relationship between gut dysbiosis (DB) and abdominal complaints.

Patients And Methods: In total, 129 female participants: 104 outpatients divided into two equal groups, 52 PCS (+), 52 PCS (-) and 25 healthy controls were consecutively enrolled in this observational study.

Two Antibiotics, Ampicillin and Tetracycline, Exert Different Effects in HT-29 Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Cells in Terms of Cell Viability and Migration Capacity.

Antibiotics are considered the cornerstone of modern medicine; however, currently, antibiotic resistance has become a global health issue. Antibiotics also find new uses in the treatment of other pathologies as well as cancer. The present study aimed to verify the impact of tetracycline and ampicillin in a colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29.

Right hepatectomy extended to segments I and IVa and segmental colectomy performed in the same operative time - case presentation.

Colorectal cancer remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We present the case of a 58-year-old male patient admitted in Timişoara Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgical Center, Romania, with transverse colon cancer and synchronous liver metastases, who underwent a major hepatectomy and a segmental colon resection performed in the same operative time. The patient had a postoperative outcome without major complications and with no signs of local or distant recurrence at 15 months postoperatively.

Replaced common hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery and prepancreatic, anterior course in a patient with cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy - case report.

The presence of hepatic arterial variations is particularly important for patients undergoing cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, because it can lead to unnecessary incidents or postoperative complications. We present the case of a patient with pancreatic head neoplasm in which the cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed and the origin of common hepatic artery from superior mesenteric artery, with an anterior, prepancreatic course.

Modified Whipple-Child pancreaticoduodenectomy with anastomosis on jejunal loop in continuity. Presentation of surgical technique and preliminary observations on 45 patients.

Introduction: Cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CPD) is the only current treatment method that can provide long-term survival in patients with periampullary tumors.

Case Presentation: This study is a prospective study conducted between 2010 and 2016 in Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Center of "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timisoara, Romania, where 57 modified Whipple-Child CPDs with anastomoses on jejunal loop in continuity were performed, in patients with periampullary tumors. Twelve patients, who had undergone prior biliodigestive derivations or biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP), with stenting of the common bile duct, were excluded from the study.
