Axillary metastases after port site recurrences of gallbladder carcinoma: a case report.

Background: Incidental gallbladder carcinoma is often discovered after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis or cholecystolithiasis. Port site recurrences may occur. Patients with port site metastases of gallbladder carcinoma have a poor prognosis.

Geometric Remodeling of the Perirenal Aortic Neck at and Adjacent to the Double Sealing Ring of the Anaconda Stent-Graft After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.

To evaluate if the radial force of the double sealing ring of the Anaconda stent-graft induces dilatation in the perirenal aortic neck adjacent to the rings. This study evaluated the serial electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography scans of 15 abdominal aortic aneurysm patients (mean age 72.8±3.

Chromate Binding and Removal by the Molybdate-Binding Protein ModA.

Effective and cheap methods and techniques for the safe removal of hexavalent chromate from the environment are in increasingly high demand. High concentrations of hexavalent chromate have been shown to have numerous harmful effects on human biology. We show that the E.

Factors Associated with Short-Term Mortality After Surgical Oncologic Emergencies.

Background: The clinical outcome of patients with oncologic emergencies is often poor and mortality is high. It is important to determine which patients may benefit from invasive treatment, and for whom conservative treatment and/or palliative care would be appropriate. In this study, prognostic factors for clinical outcome are identified in order to facilitate the decision-making process for patients with surgical oncologic emergencies.

Current management of surgical oncologic emergencies.

Objectives: For some oncologic emergencies, surgical interventions are necessary for dissolution or temporary relieve. In the absence of guidelines, the most optimal method for decision making would be in a multidisciplinary cancer conference (MCC). In an acute setting, the opportunity for multidisciplinary discussion is often not available.
