Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the proliferation marker Ki67 in predicting postoperative outcomes for pituitary adenoma patients, focusing on tumor recurrence and regrowth.
- A cohort of 52 patients who underwent surgery was analyzed, with 23 showing high Ki67 expression (≥3%) and the rest showing low (0-2.9%).
- The findings suggest that while recurrence rates were similar for both groups, the regrowth of tumors was significantly higher in patients with Ki67 ≥3%, indicating the need for closer monitoring in these cases after surgery.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of 67 patients who underwent revisional bariatric surgeries over a 29-year period in a Brazilian public hospital.
Methods: The records of all patients who underwent revisional bariatric surgery from January 1987 to December of 2016 at our hospital were analyzed for weight loss and complications. Descriptive statistics and paired t tests were computed.
Aim: To determine the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the impact of HCC surveillance on early diagnosis and survival of cirrhotic outpatients.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, cirrhotic outpatients undergoing HCC surveillance between March 2005 and March 2014 were analyzed. Exclusion criteria were HIV coinfection; previous organ transplantation; diagnosis of HCC at first consultation; missing data in the medical chart; and less than 1 year of follow-up.
