The Correlation Between Biological Markers and Prognosis in Thyroid Cancer.

Thyroid cancer incidence is rising globally. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common subtype, usually with a favorable prognosis, while follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas carry higher risks. This study examines the relationship between biological markers- mutation, thyroglobulin (Tg), and calcitonin-and thyroid cancer prognosis.

Laparoscopy in Abdominal Emergencies. Romanian Association for Endoscopic Surgery Consensus. Part I (Trauma).

laparoscopy has emerged as a pivotal tool for the management of acute abdominal pathologies. It provides diagnostic and therapeutic advantages, enabling surgeons to evaluate and address diverse acute abdominal conditions using minimally invasive techniques. The aim of this consensus was to obtain evidence-based guidance for surgeons regarding the utilization of laparoscopy in emergency medical settings, and has been divided into trauma and non-trauma emergencies.

Risk Factors Influencing Mortality in Open Necrosectomy for Acute Pancreatitis: A Comparative Analysis.

: Patients undergoing open necrosectomy (ON) for acute pancreatitis (AP) often face high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes by comparing survivors and non-survivors of ON. : A retrospective analysis was conducted on 74 patients who underwent ON for AP.

Catheter-Directed Arterial Thrombolysis with a Low-Dose Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Regimen for Acute Lower Limb Ischemia-Results of the First Regional Registry of Acute Limb Ischemia in Romania.

Acute limb ischemia is a limb-threatening condition that is associated with a high degree of mortality and morbidity, with the latter related to acute kidney injury and rhabdomyolysis that can rapidly lead to multiple organ failure. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of catheter-directed arterial thrombolysis in acute lower limb ischemia in the Department of Vascular Surgery, Timișoara, Romania. A total of 158 patients (114 males-72.

A Comparison of Open Ventral Hernia Repair Risk Stratification Systems: A Call for Consensus.

: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a common surgical intervention linked to specific surgical site complications. In such occurrences, the related morbidity is often substantial. Although known risk factors have long been recognized, their systematic inclusion in risk stratification systems lacks universal validation.
