Journal ArticleDOI
Management of Pregnant Patients Undergoing General Surgical Procedures
TL;DR: To safely and appropriately care for patients, surgeons must be cognizant of the maternal physiologic changes in pregnancy as well as of the unique risk to both mothers and fetuses of diagnostic modalities, anesthetic care, operative intervention, and postoperative management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why do anal wounds heal adequately? A study of the local immunoinflammatory defense mechanisms.
Pedro Roberto de Paula,Delcio Matos,Marcello Franco,Manlio Basilio Speranzini,Florêncio Figueiredo,Ivonete Cândida Barbosa de Santana,Marcos Augusto Chacon-Silva,Deomir Germano Bassi +7 more
TL;DR: The host developed locally innate and immunologic defense adaptive mechanisms including macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and natural killer cells in high-power fields were components of the noninduced innate response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Methods of Lymph Node Evaluation for Predicting the Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer Patients with Inadequate Lymph Node Harvest
TL;DR: If patients did not receive adequate lymph node evaluation, the LR and NL were useful parameters to complement N stage for predicting OS in colon cancer, whereas LR was complementary for rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between the Cernea Classification of External Branch of Superior Laryngeal Nerve in Relation to the Ultrasound-based Volume of Thyroid Gland.
TL;DR: Dissection of thyroid gland requires expertise to preserve the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN), which is an important but less researched structure to be preserved during surgery.

Parathyroid Imaging with Simultaneous Acquisition of 99mTc-Sestamibi and 123I: The Relative Merits of Pinhole Collimation and SPECT/CT.
Paraag R. Bhatt,William C. Klingensmith,Brian M. Bagrosky,Jacob C. Walter,Kim McFann,Robert C. McIntyre,Christopher D. Raeburn,Phillip J. Koo +7 more
TL;DR: The pinhole protocol localized significantly more adenomas than the SPECT/CT protocol, however, the protocols that included SPECT /CT provided more anatomic information than pinhole imaging alone.

Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?
TL;DR: The epidemiology of hernia repair (retrospective review) over 30 years is investigated to determine whether the relative frequencies of hernias are evolving and contrasts with hernia incidence figures quoted in common reference books.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas
TL;DR: Although tumor origin and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood, recently established grading and staging systems facilitate patient risk stratification, and thereby directly impact clinical decision making, surgery remains the only curative treatment for early-stage disease.

Pancreatic cancer: diagnosis and management.
Robert Freelove,Anne D. Walling +1 more
TL;DR: Patients with pancreatic cancer present with obstructive jaundice caused by compression of the bile duct in the head of the pancreas, which is a leading cause of cancer deaths in this country.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine: recommendation from a 22-year follow-up of 18 patients.
Hui Huang,Jame Abraham,Elizabeth Hung,Steven D. Averbuch,Maria J. Merino,Seth M. Steinberg,Karel Pacak,Tito Fojo +7 more
TL;DR: A long‐term follow‐up was conducted of 18 patients with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory mechanisms contributing to pancreatic cancer development.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that similar inflammatory components and downstream effectors are present in CP and pancreatic cancers, and suggest that a common pathway for pancreatic cancer development may be through a chronic inflammatory process including stroma formation.
