Repeat cytoreduction with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal disease: A 5-year retrospective analysis.

Background: Cytoreductive surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (CR-HIPEC) is a locorregional surgical therapy applied in patients with peritoneal-only metastatic disease of primary abdominal malignancies. Integrated in a multimodal treatment, CR-HIPEC is associated with increased overall survival. In cases of peritoneal-site only relapse, it may be carried out more than once.

Cytoreductive Surgery With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Analysis of Perioperative Risk Factors and Impact on Outcome.

Background Cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) is an effective treatment option for appropriately selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Our aim was to analyze a multidisciplinary approach and to study the perioperative risk factors associated with morbidity and mortality. Methods We reviewed all patients who underwent CRS + HIPEC from January 2019 till December 2020 at our oncologic center.

Parametric fMRI of paced motor responses uncovers novel whole-brain imaging biomarkers in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3.

Machado-Joseph Disease, inherited type 3 spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA3), is the most common form worldwide. Neuroimaging and neuropathology have consistently demonstrated cerebellar alterations. Here we aimed to discover whole-brain functional biomarkers, based on parametric performance-level-dependent signals.

Carotid endarterectomy: review of 10 years of practice of general and locoregional anesthesia in a tertiary care hospital in Portugal.

Background: Retrospective and prospective randomized studies have compared general and locoregional anesthesia for carotid endarterectomy, but without definitive results.

Objectives: Evaluate the incidence of complications (medical, surgical, neurological, and hospital mortality) in a tertiary center in Portugal and review the literature.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing endarterectomy between 2000 and 2011, using a software for hospital consultation.
