Preparation of patients submitted to thyroidectomy with oral glucose solutions.

Unlabelled: The AIM OF THE STUDY was to determine postoperative insulin-resistance in patients subject to total thyroidectomy, the prevalence of subjective feelings of hunger immediately before surgery, and the incidence of nausea/vomiting after surgery in patients prepared for elective operations by means of oral glucose solutions.

Material And Methods: The study group comprised 115 patients, including 71 patients prepared for surgery by means of oral glucose solutions (12.5% glucose) administered 12 and 3 hours before the procedure, at a dose of 800 and 400 ml.

Assesment of inflammatory response intensity in early postoperative period in patients after hernioplasty operated on with classic stoppa method and videoscopic TEP method.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY was comparison of inflammatory response intensity through estimation of CRP, IL-6 and WBC concentration in blood serum in patients before and after inguinal hernia operations with Stoppa and TEP method. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study involoved 117 patients operated on inguinal hernia between 2006-2008.

[Assessment of the selected, late phase of angiogenesis factors' concentration in colorectal cancer patients].

Unlabelled: Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessels creating based on existing already vascularisation. This composed and multistage mechanism, which is responsible for growth of the tissues and organs, plays a crucial role in neoplasia. The exact role of particular cells, cytokines and extracellular matrix in cancerogenesis is still discussing.
