Selective T-T sympathicotomy versus gray ramicotomy on outcome and quality of life in hyperhidrosis patients: a randomized clinical trial.

Compensatory hyperhidrosis is the leading cause of patients' dissatisfaction after thoracic sympathicotomy. The study aimed to reduce compensatory hyperhidrosis to increase patients' satisfaction. A prospective randomized study on palmar hyperhidrosis, May 2016-September 2019.

Selective block of grey communicantes in upper thoracic sympathectomy. A feasibility study on human cadaveric specimens.

Sympathetic chain interruption is the gold standard treatment for essential hyperhidrosis. Postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis, the main reason for patients' dissatisfaction, is reduced by selectively lesioning white and grey rami communicantes (ramicotomy). To develop an endoscopic surgical technique that interrupts only T and T grey rami communicantes to minimize compensatory hyperhidrosis.

Analysis of Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A and Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha in Patients Operated on Stage I Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Objectives. Recent studies show that expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) favours expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), and these biomarkers are linked to cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis in different cancers. We analyze expression of HIF-1α and VEGF-A to clinicopathologic features and survival of patients operated on stage I non-small-cell lung cancer.

[Prognostic value of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A and hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha in patients undergoing surgery for non-small cell lung cancer].

Background And Objective: Studies suggest that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) expression favours expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) involving cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis in different cancers including lung cancer. We investigated the correlation of HIF-1α and VEGF-A with clinicopathologic parameters and clinical outcomes in surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Patients And Method: Prospective study to analyze the expression of VEGF-A and HIF-1α with real time-polymerase chain reaction in 66 patients operated on non-small cell lung cancer.

The Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery Lung Cancer Cooperative Group-II registry. A descriptive study.

Introduction And Objectives: The seventh edition of the TNM classification, together with undeniable advantages, has limitations. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging Committee has designed an international prospective study to improve this classification. A group of thoracic surgeons and pulmonologists was established in the Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) Oncology area, and created a registry of new lung cancer (LC) cases to participate in this project.
