Impact of MRI on high grade Ductal Carcinoma Insitu (HG DCIS) management, are we using the full scope of MRI?

Introduction: Preoperative assessment of pure Ductal Carcinoma Insitu (DCIS) is essential in the surgical planning. The role of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been debated. The impact of MRI on the management of High Grade (HG) DCIS was assessed, whether it accurately captures the true size of this entity in comparison to conventional imaging, and, if MRI use would reduce the number of re-excision surgery.

Late perforation at the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis after laparoscopic gastric bypass for morbid obesity.

Background: Although marginal ulceration and perforation at the gastrojejunal anastomosis is an established, albeit rare, risk after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for morbid obesity, little is known about the risk of late perforation at the jejuno-jejunal (J-J) anastomosis. The objective of this study was to identify the incidence of J-J perforation and describe management options and sequelae.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of the database of all patients who underwent LRYGB.

Patterns and management of vascular injuries in intravenous drug users: a literature review.

Background: Intravenous drug use is becoming an increasing problem in today's society causing an enormous socio-economic burden. Any intravenous injection will carry a risk of vascular injury. However, this risk will be significantly increased with repeated injections.
