[De Garengeot hernia - a case report].

We report a case of a 79-year-old woman with a previous history of polycythemia vera, glaucoma and hypertension. Her previous surgeries included a cholecystectomy with an incidental finding of a gallbladder carcinoma with following partial liver resection and a hysterectomy. The surgery department was consulted regarding this patient due to abdominal pain in her lower abdomen and tumor in her right groin.

Diagnostic gastrointestinal markers in primary lung cancer and pulmonary metastases.

Histopathological diagnosis of pulmonary tumors is essential for treatment decisions. The distinction between primary lung adenocarcinoma and pulmonary metastasis from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be difficult. Therefore, we compared the diagnostic value of several immunohistochemical markers in pulmonary tumors.

Mode of delivery was associated with transient changes in the metabolomic profile of neonates.

Aims: To estimate potential differences in neonatal metabolomic profiles at birth and at the time of newborn screening by delivery mode.

Methods: A prospective study at Women's Clinic at Landspitali-The National University Hospital of Iceland. Women having normal vaginal birth or elective caesarean section from November 2013 to April 2014 were offered participation.

Clinical significance of RBM3 expression in surgically treated colorectal lung metastases and paired primary tumors.

Background: The lungs are the second most common site of metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to investigate prognostic factors, including RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) expression, in patients with CRC treated with pulmonary metastasectomy (PM).

Methods: The cohort included all patients treated with PM at Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden, from 2000 to 2014.

Does metabolomic profile differ with regard to birth weight?

Background: Macrosomia and child obesity are growing health-care issues worldwide. The purpose of the study was to evaluate how extremely high or low birth weight affects metabolic markers evaluated in newborn screening.

Methods: The study was register-based and included full-term singletons born in Iceland from 2009 to 2012 with newborn screening samples taken 72-96 h after birth.
