Occurrence of bladder metastasis 10 years after surgical removal of a primary gastric cancer: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Secondary bladder neoplasms are uncommon and they represent only 2% of all malignant bladder tumors.

Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 59-year-old Caucasian man with a primary gastric adenocarcinoma that had been surgically removed 10 years before he developed bladder metastasis. He presented with low abdominal pain after 10 years without any symptoms.

Effects of various drugs (flunixin, pentoxifylline, enoxaparin) modulating micro-rheological changes in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in the rat.

Previously we have investigated the cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis and provided data on its micro-rheological impact in the rat. We hypothesized that non-steroid anti-inflammatory agent flunixin, the xanthine-derivate pentoxifylline and the low molecular weight heparin enoxaparin may have various beneficial effects improving microcirculatory and rheological parameters. In female rats, under general anesthesia, 10 μg/kg cerulein s.

Correlations between clinicopathological parameters and molecular signatures of primary tumors for patients with stage T3n0 colorectal adenocarcinomas: a single center retrospective study on 100 cases.

Background/aims: To examine the clinical and protein expression characteristics of tumor tissues for prediction of prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methodology: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of patients with stage T3N0 CRC, operated between 1997-2003 and the surgical materials for the relation between disease prognosis and p53, p21, p16, β-catenin, E-cadherin, EGFR, hMLH1, hMSH2 and TS protein expressions.

Results: A significantly shorter 3-year disease free survival was observed in patients under the age of 50.

Micro-rheological changes during experimental acute pancreatitis in the rat.

Although microcirculatory disturbances play pivotal role in the pathomechanism of acute pancreatitis (AP), very few papers can be found which had been tested any of hemorheological parameters. The aim of our study was to analyze the hemorheological changes in cerulein-induced experimental acute pancreatitis in rat in two doses (5 and 10 μg/kg, s.c.

[Analysis of clinical course of severe acute biliary and non biliary pancreatitis: a comparative study].

Unlabelled: The acute pancreatitis is a relative common disease with incidence of 5-80 per 100000 people of the population. The number of new cases has steadily increased in recent years. The two main etiological factors are alcohol and cholelithiasis.

Surgical treatment of liver metastases from breast cancer.

Background/aims: The resection of colorectal liver metastases is currently a well accepted and effective treatment. In the past decade liver metastases of breast cancer have been treated more frequently by surgical intervention.

Methodology: The authors retrospectively studied the data of 17 operated patients, and investigated the clinical features of liver metastases, lymph node involvement of primary tumor, the indications of operations, and early and late results of the treatment.

Therapeutic tactics in the treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Background/aims: The authors analyze the possibilities for the delay of surgery with special consideration regarding percutaneous peripancreatic drainage in the treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Methodology: In addition to intensive care therapy, 61 patients were also given antibiotic prophylaxis, and early nasojejunal enteral feeding was commenced. In a total of 22 cases where peripancreatic fluid was found, percutaneous drainage was performed.

[Current issues in the diagnosis and treatment of penetrating chest trauma].

Introduction: Successful treatment of penetrating chest trauma largely depends on the accurate and rapid diagnostic work-up, as well as the adequate surgical management. The authors discuss current issues in the diagnosis and the treatment of penetrating chest injuries based on the analysis of 109 cases.

Patients And Methods: 82 men and 27 women with penetrating chest trauma were studied.

[Surgical management of sternoclavicular joint infections].

Aims: The pyogenic infection of the sternoclavicular joint is a rare disease. The treatment can be conservative (antibiotics) or surgical (exposure and drainage of the joint or its resection). The authors analyze the causative and predisposing factors, the symptoms, the diagnosis, the questions of the therapy and its efficiency.

[Anterior approach for liver resection in the cases of the treatment of large liver tumors].

The authors compare the results of the patients who underwent right hemihepatectomy through anterior approach with those by conventional hemihepatectomy. In 119 patients hemihepatectomy was done, 52 of them were anterior approaches. We used this technique when the tumor was large, or it seemed to be fragile and its mobilisation could be dangerous or infiltrated the diaphragm or the the hepatic vein's preparation was difficult or impossible.

[Surgical treatment for primary and secondary tumors of the liver].

We performed liver resection for focal liver disease in 266 patients between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 2001 at the University of Debrecen Medical and Health Science Center, Medical School of Medicine, 2nd Department of Surgery in Debrecen, Hungary. The indication was primary liver cancer in 35 cases, liver metastasis in 97 cases. The primary tumour and its liver metastases were removed synchronously in 28 patients (29.
