Total parietal peritonectomy performed during interval cytoreductive surgery for advanced epithelial serous ovarian cancer results in a low incidence of platinum resistant recurrence- results of a prospective multi-centre study.

Background: The reported incidence of platinum resistant recurrence (PRR) (recurrence within 6 months of the last dose of platinum therapy) after interval debulking/cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is high compared to that after primary CRS. The goal was to study PRR following a total parietal peritonectomy (TPP), that addresses occult disease more completely.

Methods: This is a prospective multi-center study (CTRI/2018/08/015350).

Hemorrhoidal disease and chronic venous insufficiency: Concomitance or coincidence; results of the CHORUS study (Chronic venous and HemORrhoidal diseases evalUation and Scientific research).

Background And Aim: The CHORUS study (Chronic venous and HemORrhoidal diseases evalUation and Scientific research) was conducted to provide data on patients presenting with hemorrhoidal disease (HD) in clinical practice and to explore the frequency with which it coexists with chronic venous disease (CVD) and shared risk factors.

Methods: This international, noninterventional study enrolled adult patients attending a consultation for hemorrhoidal complaints. The questionnaire completed by physicians established the subjects' demographic and lifestyle characteristics and collected information on HD grade and symptoms and signs of CVD.
