The levels of creatinine in serum and peritoneal exudate were studied in 77 patients with acute surgical abdominal diseases. It has been found that the exudate concentration of this compound is mainly determined by its level in the serum, which allows the exudate creatinine to be studied for the diagnosis of renal failure. The creatinine concentration in the abdominal exudate in relation to that in the serum varies in urinary tract injury and in the early hours after abdominal sanitation in peritonitis. Exudate creatinine concentration increases (by 2.7-fold or more) require that the urinary tract should be revised to reveal its injury. Creatinine levels in the exudate can be determined not earlier than 8 hours after abdominal lavage. The determination of creatinine concentrations in the peritoneal exudate is a non-invasive and informative tool that enhances the quality of laboratory monitoring in emergency abdominal surgery.

Rationale And Objectives: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for peritoneal metastasis (PM) in ovarian cancer using a combination radiomics and clinical biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study of 619 ovarian cancer patients involved demographic data, radiomics, O-RADS standardized description, clinical biomarkers, and histological findings. Radiomics features were extracted using 3D Slicer and Pyradiomics, with selective feature extraction using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression.

Background: Refractory ascites (RA) remains a serious complication in patients with cirrhosis. Currently, the insertion of a TIPS is considered the standard of care in these patients. To achieve symptom control in those with TIPS contraindications, tunneled peritoneal catheters (PeCa) or ascites pumps were introduced.

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer incidence in Malaysia is steadily on the rise, now ranking as the 14th most common malignancy in the country. Despite this upward trend, research on prognostic factors affecting pancreatic cancer survival remains limited, highlighting the need for ongoing investigation to improve patient survival outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively by reviewing records of pancreatic cancer patients hospitalized between January 2011 and December 2018 across multiple health centres in Malaysia.
