Introduction: rectoscopy and 18F-FDG PET/CT as a diagnostic algorithm for the assessment of tumor response in rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is very useful.
Material And Methods: this was a prospective longitudinal study in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant CRT. Patients were assessed after CRT completion with a digital rectal examination, proctoscopy and 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Background And Objectives: Postoperative seroma after axillary lymphadenectomy leads to an increased use of resources and an impaired quality of life of patients. This randomized clinical trial was designed to assess the value of a hemostatic and sealing agent for decreasing seroma occurrence after axillary lymphadenectomy.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, blind study was conducted on 91 axillary lymphadenectomies distributed into a control group (n = 47) and a test group in which a collagen sponge coated with human coagulation factors was used (n = 44).
An 84-year-old woman presented to her local emergency department for abdominal pain. Her medical history included hemodialysis in the treatment of chronic renal failure, Parkinson's disease, chronic atrial fibrillation, chronic constipation, appendicectomy and cholecystectomy. The patient complained of diffuse abdominal pain for 4 days, associated with nausea and vomiting in the last 24 hours.
