To compare the accuracy of prayer's sign and Mallampatti test in predicting difficult intubation in diabetic patients.
TL;DR: Prayer's sign is not acceptable as a single best bedside test for prediction of difficult intubation in diabetic patients.
Referred Shoulder Pain in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis
TL;DR: In conclusion, radiating shoulder, chest, and upper limb pains are transient and seemingly benign complications of peritoneal dialysis.

Therapeutic application of helium-oxygen and mechanical ventilation in a child with acute myelogenous leukemia and airway obstruction.
TL;DR: The case of an intubated 2-year-old girl with respiratory failure from a mediastinal mass who was successfully weaned from mechanical ventilatory support through the use of a 70%:30% helium-oxygen admixture (heliox), and the biophysical rationale for use of heliox in airway narrowing are reported.

Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?

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.

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.
