Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) consists of a group of hepatic and perihepatic tumors that are in close proximity but are anatomically different, including gallbladder cancer (GBC), cholangiocarcinoma (extrahepatic and intrahepatic [ICC]), and ampulla of Vater cancer (AVC). Most epidemiologic research has focused on 1 or more anatomic subtypes, or does not differentiate BTC from hepatocellular carcinoma or other primary liver cancers. Here, we provide a descriptive update on global incidence and mortality rates for BTC, overall and by anatomic subtypes.
Methods: Age-standardized rates (per 100,000 person-years) were derived from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Volume XI (2008-2012; 22 countries), and the World Health Organization Mortality Database (2006-2016; 38 countries).
Results: BTC incidence varied by country, with the highest in Chile (14.35) and the lowest in Vietnam (1.25). Mortality rates for BTC were highest for the Republic of Korea (11.64) and lowest for the Republic of Moldova (1.65). BTC mortality rates increased over time in 24 of 34 countries. Patients aged ≥75 years had 5-10 times higher mortality rates than the overall BTC rate in all countries. In most countries, incidence rates were highest for GBC, and mortality rates highest for ICC, while both were lowest for AVC. Females had and died from GBC more frequently than males. For ICC, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and AVC, males trended toward higher incidence and mortality rates.
Conclusion: The increasing incidence and mortality trends reported here indicate a need for improved prevention and treatment for all BTC subtypes.

How low should we go? Outcomes of ECMO in neonates with low gestational age or birth weight.

Division of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine, PO Box 100119, Gainesville, FL, 32610-0119, USA.
Purpose: Initial recommendations for ECMO had relative contraindications for low birth weight (BW) or low gestational age (GA) babies. However, more recent literature has demonstrated improved and acceptable outcomes of ECMO in smaller neonates. The purpose of this study was to understand both utilization and survival in patients with lower GA and BW.

Background: The vital statistics in the third world countries are poor and have witnessed minimal improvement over the years with childhood mortality in Nigeria remaining one of the highest among the developing countries despite various child survival programmes. Child survival strategies can only be efficient if the major reasons for morbidity are known. The objective of this retrospective study was to review the patterns of childhood mortality at the emergency room of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido-Ekiti (FETHI).

Background: Aortoiliac disease (AID) is a variant of peripheral artery disease involving the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac disease obstructs blood flow through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. AID, when symptomatic, may present with a triad of claudication, impotence, and absence of femoral pulses, a triad also referred as Leriche Syndrome (LS).

Infective endocarditis carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality with recurrent infections and non-compliance. In the case of right-sided endocarditis, the indications for intervention are less clear. The Angiovac procedure provides a treatment for right-sided endocarditis that is a less-invasive and ideal for a complicated patient population.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.
