The records of 86 patients with primary adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder were reviewed. All patients were staged according to the Nevin classification. Twenty-nine patients underwent resection, 57 were submitted to palliative procedures or exploratory laparotomy. Survival was directly related to tumor staging and modality of treatment. The 5- and 10-year survival expectancy after curative resection was 46.8% in stage II patients, 14.2% and 0%, respectively, in stage V patients. None of the unresectable cases survived beyond 24 months, except for one patients who lived 62 months. No significant difference in survival expectancy was found between resectable and unresectable patients with stage V tumor.

Diagnostic performance of the DISQVER metagenomic sequencing tool for the identification of pathogens in febrile neutropenic patients: the ADNEMIA trial.

Introduction: While intensive protocols in onco-haematology have improved survival rates for patients with haematological malignancies, they have also resulted in an increased incidence of infection associated with therapy-induced immunosuppression (including chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia; FN). The occurrence of FN, associated with high morbidity and mortality, necessitates broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, occasioning delayed chemotherapy and resulting in a loss of opportunity for the patient. Considering that without an identified pathogen, a 10% mortality rate can ensue, documentation is essential to the optimisation of antibiotic therapy.

Novel therapies have made this a treatable condition, resulting in increased life expectancy and more time spent upright. Survival and improved function mean spinal asymmetry is a new complication with limited data on its prevalence and severity and no current guidelines on management and treatment.

Background: Recent guidelines recommend prolonged thromboprophylaxis after oesophagectomy due to cancer. However, no previous studies have examined if prolonged prophylaxis is superior to standard, in-hospital prophylaxis. We aimed to perform the first clinical, randomised study testing the efficacy of a prolonged, one-month thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin versus the standard treatment.

Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and especially with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) suffer from reduced survival expectation and risk of exacerbations. Lung cancer is a relevant comorbidity in ILD patients and associated with impaired survival.The most frequent ILD among patients with NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is associated with an greater decline in lung function and a higher risk of death.

Considering the considerable impact of intracerebral hemorrhage in Asia and the absence of studies detailing its epidemiological features, the aim of this study is to elucidate the temporal trends and distribution characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage in Asia from 1990 to 2021, as well as to forecast the future burden.
Methods: The data derived from Global Disease Burden Study 2021 were used to investigate the age-standardized rates and absolute numbers of incident intracerebral hemorrhage cases and related deaths in Asia across genders, age groups and geographical locations.
