AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the risk factors and outcomes of lymphatic metastasis (LNM) in patients with specific types of adenocarcinoma at the gastroesophageal junction.
  • The analysis of 49 patients identified depth of infiltration, histological type, and lymphatic embolus as key independent risk factors for LNM.
  • Patients without LNM had significantly better survival rates (100% at 1 and 3 years) compared to those with LNM (70% at 1 year and 60% at 3 years), suggesting that surgical interventions like total gastrectomy might enhance prognosis for those with LNM.

Article Abstract

Aim: To explore the risk factors and prognosis for lymphatic metastasis (LNM) in patients with Siewert II/III adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (AEG).

Patients And Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 49 patients with Siewert II/III AEG. Clinical characteristics and pathological features were analyzed by the Chi-square the and binary logistic regression. Survival data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results: LNM frequency was found in lymph nodes No.1, No.2, No.3, No.7, No.11 and No.110. The results revealed that depth of infiltration, neoplasms by histological type and lymphatic embolus were independent risk factors for LNM. The 1- and 3-year survival of patients without LNM were both 100%, while patients with LNM had 70% and 60% survival, respectively. Although the differences were not statistically significant, survival rate with negative lymph nodes was higher than in patients with LNM.

Conclusion: Total gastrectomy combined with D2 No.110 lymphadenectomy might improve the prognosis for LNM patients.

Among the most pressing problems societies face today are economic inequality and the erosion of democratic norms and institutions. In fact the two problems-inequality and democratic erosion-are linked. In a large cross-national statistical study of risk factors for democratic erosion, we establish that economic inequality is one of the strongest predictors of where and when democracy erodes.

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In particular, functional outcomes of SAH caused by large or giant (≥ 10 mm) ruptured intracranial aneurysms are worsened by high procedure-related complication rates. However, studies describing the risk factors for poor functional outcomes specific to ruptured large/giant aneurysms are sparse.

Background: Adherence to self-care behaviors can prevent or delay adverse outcomes associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Sex and socioculturally constructed gender might impact individuals' ability to adhere to healthy lifestyles.

Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically identify, evaluate, and synthesize the literature on the influence of sex and gender on adherence to self-care behaviors for CVD risk management in the global context.
