Surgical Resection and Immediate Reconstruction with a Bilayer Wound Collagen Matrix of a Rare Oral Angiosarcoma: A Case Report.

Angiosarcomas are malignant vascular tumors that commonly occur on the skin of the head and neck, breast, or scalp. Oral angiosarcoma is a rare tumor (0.0077% of all cancers in Europe), and regarding this atypical localization, no formal treatment trials have been conducted yet.

Combining microfluidics and coaxial 3D-bioprinting for the manufacturing of diabetic wound healing dressings.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a crucial complication of diabetes, as in a diabetic wound, each step of the physiological healing process is affected. This entails a more easily infectable wound, and delayed tissue regeneration due to the inflammation that occurs, leading to a drastic decrease in the overall patient's quality of life. As a strategy to manage DFUs, skin alternatives and wound dressings are currently receiving a lot of attention as they keep the wound environment "under control", while providing bioactive compounds that help to manage infection and inflammation and promote tissue repair.

Delayed Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) in children after sight-recovery.

Studies in non-human animal models have revealed that in early development, the onset of visual input gates the critical period closure of some auditory functions. The study of rare individuals whose sight was restored after a period of congenital blindness offers the rare opportunity to assess whether early visual input is a prerequisite for the full development of auditory functions in humans as well. Here, we investigated whether a few months of delayed visual onset would affect the development of Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs).

Simultaneous Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Endovascular Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

With the increasing use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and the availability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and cholelithiasis, respectively, the association between these elective treatments is not yet well-defined. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the results of elective and simultaneous EVAR and LC. Thirteen patients (mean age, 72 years) with concomitant large and asymptomatic AAA and asymptomatic cholelithiasis underwent simultaneous EVAR and LC.

Outcome of Surgical Resection and Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for the Treatment of Isolated Primary Adrenal Lymphoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 16 Consecutive Patients.

Background/aim: Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is rare and aggressive. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the results of surgery and chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone for the treatment of this condition.

Patients And Methods: Sixteen patients, 10 men and 6 women of a median age of 63 years (IQR=56-70.

Results of resection of carotid body tumors with and without lymphnodes' dissection.

Background: Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a slow-growing tumor arising from the carotid body, a chemoceptor organ lying behind the carotid artery bifurcation. Although rarely, metastases can occur distally through the hematogenous route and through the lymphatic route.to the cervical lymphnodes.

Results of Standard Stapler Closure of Pancreatic Remnant After Distal Spleno-Pancreatectomy for Adenocarcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of stapled closure of the pancreatic remnant after cold-knife section of the pancreatic isthmus and distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma. A retrospective evaluation of 57 consecutive patients undergoing distal spleno-pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma was performed. The pancreatic isthmus was systematically straight-sectioned with a cold knife, and the remnant was stapled close without additional stitches or adjuncts.

Standard versus eversion-modified double-staple technique for low colorectal anastomoses after resection of rectal cancer.

Purpose: The double-staple technique, performed as either the standard procedure or after eversion of the rectal stump, is a well-established method of performing low colorectal anastomoses following the resection of rectal cancer. Eversion of the tumor-bearing ano-rectal stump was proposed to allow the linear stapler to be fired at a safe distance of clearance from the tumor. We conducted this study to compare the results of the standard versus the eversion-modified double-staple technique.

Resection for Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Cervical Lymph Nodes' Involvement from Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: Thrombosis internal jugular vein (IJV) with cervical adenopathy, as first manifestation of gastric cancer is rare. We aimed to compare resection of the cervical mass followed by gastrectomy with gastrectomy alone.

Patients And Methods: Nine patients presenting thrombosis of the IJV for gastric carcinoma were divided into two groups.

Water Sensitive Urban Design retrofits in Copenhagen - 40% to the sewer, 60% to the city.

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is emerging in Denmark. This interdisciplinary desk study investigated the options for WSUD retrofitting in a 15 km(2) combined sewer catchment area in Copenhagen. The study was developed in collaboration with the City of Copenhagen and its water utility, and involved researchers representing hydrogeology, sewer hydraulics, environmental chemistry/economics/engineering, landscape architecture and urban planning.

A conceptual framework for addressing complexity and unfolding transition dynamics when developing sustainable adaptation strategies in urban water management.

To achieve a successful and sustainable adaptation to climate change we need to transform the way we think about change. Much water management research has focused on technical innovation with a range of new solutions developed to achieve a 'more sustainable and integrated urban water management cycle'. But Danish municipalities and utility companies are struggling to bring such solutions into practice.
