Right Diaphragmatic Rupture: A Case Report of a Rare Surgical Trauma Emergency.

Diaphragmatic injuries, particularly on the right side, are a rare yet challenging clinical scenario, especially when associated with other injuries. We present the case of a 38-year-old male patient who sustained a fall from a significant height, resulting in blunt abdominal trauma, chest injuries, right-side diaphragmatic injury, a grade 4 liver injury, and fractures of the right ribs, right femur, and pelvis. The patient also suffered a lung laceration with hemopneumothorax.

The prognostic significance of Caspase-3 and survivin expression in colorectal cancer patients.

Purpose: To investigate the expressions of caspase-3 and survivin in colorectal cancer patients and their possible associations with clinicopathological parameters and the oncological outcome.

Methods: Between January 2008 and December 2011, 85 patients with sporadic colorectal cancer were submitted to colectomy with curative intent. Postoperatively, all patients were followed every three months up to the 36th month.

Retroperitoneal perivascular epithelioid cell tumours: A case report and review of literature.

Background: The perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa) family of tumours mainly includes renal and hepatic angiomyolipomas, pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis and clear cell "sugar" tumour of the lung. Several uncommon tumours with similar morphological and immunophenotypical characteristics arising at a variety of sites (abdominal cavity, digestive tract, retroperitoneum, skin, soft tissue and bones) are also included in the PEComa family and are referred to as PEComas not otherwise specified.

Case Summary: We present a 37-year-old female patient who underwent resection of an 8.
