[Actualidades en la sobrevida del carcinoma hepatocelular].

Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de la literatura actualizada, abordando los aspectos clínicos y epidemiológicos más relevantes asociados con la sobrevida del carcinoma hepatocelular y su relación con las estrategias terapéuticas que han demostrado un mejor resultado. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica empleando las bases de datos electrónicas Medline, Embase, Springerlink y PubMed para identificar documentos publicados desde el 1 de enero de 1985 hasta agosto de 2020. Resultados: Se analizaron el abordaje y el manejo quirúrgico del carcinoma hepatocelular en todo el mundo, comparando las dos principales estrategias terapéuticas que reportan mayor porcentaje de sobrevida global.

Abdominal compartment syndrome: Current concepts and management.

Abdominal compartment syndrome occurs when 2 or more anatomic compartments have a sustained intra-abdominal pressure >20mmHg, associated with organ failure. Incidence is 2% and prevalence varies from 0% to 36.4%.

Updates in Mirizzi syndrome.

Mirizzi syndrome, known as extrinsic bile compression syndrome, is a rare complication of cholecystitis and chronic cholelithiasis, secondary to the obliteration of the infundibulum of the gallbladder or cystic duct caused by the impact of one or more calculations in these anatomical structures, which leads to compression of the adjacent bile duct, resulting in partial or complete obstruction of the common hepatic duct, triggering liver dysfunction. Our aim is to identify and describe the current epidemiology, diagnostic methods, and treatment of Mirizzi syndrome. A literature search was performed using different databases, including Medline, Cochrane, Embase, Medscape, PubMed, using keywords: Mirizzi syndrome, epidemiology, markers, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
