The adjuvant effect of high-frequency hyperthermia of the abdominal cavity was studied in 2-month-old mice of highly leukemic AKR strain treated with cyclophosphamide. Weights of organs, parameters of the peripheral blood, and cytological imprints of organs were compared in experimental and control animals. A more pronounced antitumor effect was observed in animals exposed to hyperthermia. These data provide the basis for clinical use of hyperthermia of the abdominal cavity.

Evaluating the physiological benefits of behavioral flexibility in chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) using a biophysical model.

As opportunistic generalists occupying a range of ecological niches, chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) are considered a highly flexible species of relatively low conservation priority. Underlying their ecological flexibility is a repertoire of behavioral strategies observed in response to ecological stressors. Although these strategies are relatively well-documented, we know very little about how they impact upon an individual's thermal and energetic physiology, which can influence population-level reproductive potential in the face of climatic warming.

Foreign body granuloma (FBG) is an inflammatory reaction to an exogenous agent. This entity is well known on the cutaneous organ but very rarely described in the abdominal cavity. We report three clinical cases of intraperitoneal FBG following major debulking of pseudomyxoma and intraperitoneal hyperthermia chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a nomogram to predict the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treating uterine fibroids by analyzing oxytocin levels and sonographic features of fibroids.
  • Conducted a retrospective study of 60 patients, utilizing logistic regression to identify key predictive factors like myoma type, blood flow, and oxytocin classification, resulting in a model assessed using R language.
  • The model demonstrated strong predictive ability with an area under the curve of 0.887 and good calibration, suggesting it can effectively guide clinicians in selecting appropriate patients for HIFU treatment.

Malignant ascites (MA), a common and serious complication of various cancers in the abdominal cavity, originates from the extensive infiltration, metastasis, and growth of cancer cells in or on the abdominal cavity, leading to abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity and the formation of MA. MA seriously reduces the quality of life of cancer patients, shortens their survival period, and generally has a poor prognosis. Modern medicine has developed various strategies for the treatment of MA, including targeted supportive treatment, diuretic treatment, abdominal paracentesis, surgical intervention, and intraperitoneal administration therapy.
