Endovascular surgery in gynecology.

Endovascular surgery has presented a high evolution since 1960 with Charles Dotter, who changed the concept of catheter utilization as a mean to diagnose and introduce therapeutic in interventionist vascular environment. The first reports of bleeding control of gastrointestinal and transluminal angioplasty input the development of new techniques for endovascular access, and new materials use, such as microcatheters and embolic agents, become this procedure effective and viable for treatment of several pathologies. The embolization of several organs of human body is a procedure carried out for more than 30 years all over the world showing safety, efficacy and of simple execution.

Responsiveness to different volume therapies following hemodilution and hemorrhagic shock: a comparative experimental study in rats.

Unlabelled: Guidelines for volume replacement for acutely hemorrhaged and hemodiluted trauma patients have not been well established.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of acute hemodilution on mean arterial pressure (MAP), and responsiveness of acutely hemodiluted and subsequently hemorrhaged rats to different volume therapies.

Methods: 180 rats were hemodiluted to simulate hemorrhaged trauma patients with persistent bleeding after high volume replacement with isotonic solutions.

Gastric carcinoma in a 13-year-old girl.

Gastric cancer is uncommon before the fifth decade of life. The appearance of adenocarcinoma in young adults has motivated molecular studies that aimed to identify inherited mutations. Moreover, carcinoma of the stomach in the young adult is sufficiently rare to generate considerable interest in each occurrence of it, especially when it occurs in the gastroesophageal junction.

Umbilical mass as the sole presenting symptom of pancreatic cancer: a case report.

Umbilical nodes are rare. The metastatic involvement of the region was first described in 1846. Sister Mary Joseph was the first observer to establish the correlation between carcinomas and umbilical nodes.

Nonsmall cell lung cancer: evaluation of 737 consecutive patients in a single institution.

Objective: To analyze surgical and pathological parameters and outcome and prognostic factors of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were admitted to a single institution, as well as to correlate these findings to the current staging system.

Method: Seven hundred and thirty seven patients were diagnosed with NSCLC and admitted to Hospital do Cancer A. C.
