TL;DR: In multi-institutional practice, sentinel lymph node biopsy using dual-agent injection provides optimal sensitivity for detection of nodal metastases and indicates that this procedure is a suitable alternative to routine axillary dissection across a wide spectrum of surgical practice and hospital environments.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the local expression of MIP‐2 and KC are important mediators involved in neutrophil‐dependent hepatic injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that uniform adherence to the proposed guidelines for the prevention of surgical infections could reduce wound infections significantly; namely to a target of less than 0.5% in clean wounds, less than 1% inclean contaminated wounds and less than 2% in highly contaminated wounds, and decrease related costs to less than one-half of the current amount.

TL;DR: Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy has become a standard technique for determining the nodal stage of disease in patients with melanoma and is suggested to be a viable option for breast cancer patients.
