A Comparative Analysis of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy Versus Laparoscopic-Assisted Gastrectomy: The Overall and Disease-Free Survival.

Gastric cancer remains a significant global health challenge with varied survival rates, emphasizing the need for research into effective surgical treatments. In this retrospective study, we compared the 72-month overall and disease-free survival between laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) and laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy (AG) in a cohort of 139 patients treated for gastric cancer. The analysis revealed that patients undergoing LG exhibited a significantly higher overall survival rate at 72 months compared to those undergoing AG.

Hepatic Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature of Primary Liver Tumors.

Liver tumors rank as the fourth most common cause of cancer. This case report highlights a 45-year-old female patient who presented persistent abdominal pain and no other symptoms. Initially, she was approached with a probable hepatitis of unknown origin, but her condition worsened rapidly.

Comparative Analysis of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy Versus Laparoscopic-Assisted Gastrectomy: Postoperative Complications.

The evolution of laparoscopic surgery in gastric cancer has advanced significantly, with benefits over open surgery initially demonstrated in early gastric cancer and later in advanced stages. This study aims to evaluate postoperative complications, surgical outcomes, and anastomosis safety by comparing laparoscopic gastrectomy and laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy. This retrospective, observational, analytical study included patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy at a university hospital from January 2006 to February 2018.

miRNAs in multiple sclerosis: A clinical approach.

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding, single stranded segments of RNA measuring 19 to 25 nucleotides in length. They play an active role in autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). These structures have been studied given their implication in the process of diagnosis, disease development, treatment and prognosis of MS.
