Effect of subcentimeter nonpositive resection margin on hepatic recurrence in patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. Evidences from 663 liver resections.

Objective: To elucidate if a nonpositive <1-cm resection margin has any effect on hepatic recurrence in patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases.

Patients And Methods: Six hundred and nine patients underwent 663 liver resections. Patients with positive margin were excluded from the analysis.

Short-term mortality of myocardial infarction patients with diabetes or hyperglycaemia during admission.

Aim: The hypothesis that patients with hyperglycaemia during admission, regardless of previous diagnosis of diabetes, have worse prognosis than those with normal glucose values is controversial. The objective was to assess the role of hyperglycaemia on short-term mortality after myocardial infarction (MI).

Methods And Results: A cohort study nested in a prospective registry of MI patients in the reference hospital of Gerona, Spain was performed.
