Impact of histopathology on the outcome of D1/D2 gastrectomies with R0 resection.

Aims: The primary objective of this study was to clarify the influence of histotype on the outcome of D1/D2 gastrectomized patients with pathologically proven R0 resection. The secondary objective was to demonstrate overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and locoregional recurrence rates following standard curative surgery.

Patients And Methods: All patients had either pure signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC)/poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PDC) or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (MDC) of the stomach, preoperative radiologic evidence of locoregional disease, and no history of neoadjuvant therapy.

Human kidney histopathology in acute obstructive jaundice: a prospective study.

Introduction: Cholemia and bacterial translocation with portal endotoxemia are integral in the pathogenesis of obstructive jaundice (OJ). There is sufficient experimental data about hemodynamic and histopathological consequences of OJ. In contrast, pathological information of renal changes in patients with OJ is still lacking.
