A series of bis-acryl functionalized porphyrins and their corresponding metalloporphyrins (M=Co, Mn) were synthesized and investigated for their antimicrobial properties through MIC screening and bacteria time-kill kinetic studies. The Mn(III) 4-(bis)methylphenyl-substituted-porphyrins showed superior batericidal activities even in the dark with low hemotoxicity and good cytotoxicity profile.

This procedure has undergone many changes and varies in 1, 2, or 3 stages. A diverting ileostomy can be created with the aim of reducing the consequence of an anastomotic leakage; however, its use is still unknown.

Methods: PALN intraoperative examination by frozen section was systematically performed from January 2006 to February 2018 prior to performing PD for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Until June 2012, PALN + patients still underwent PD (PALN+/PD group) in the framework of a prospective study.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) in patients with and without cirrhosis across 27 medical centers from 2000 to 2017.
- Out of 3,150 patients, those with cirrhosis experienced higher rates of severe complications, prolonged hospital stays, and increased risk of mortality compared to those without cirrhosis.
- Despite being treated in expert centers, cirrhosis was still identified as an independent risk factor for negative outcomes, highlighting the challenges in managing such patients during LLR.
