Outcomes of Unroofing with Limited Excision and Structured Postoperative Care for Pilonidal Disease.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that unroofing with limited excision and structured postoperative care for pilonidal disease is a safe and effective treatment approach with a very low recurrence and complication rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histologic and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Specimens Performed for Morbid Obesity
Klaudia M. Nowak,Adam Di Palma,Kenny Chieu,Fayez A. Quereshy,Tim Jackson,Allan Okrainec,Stefano Serra,Runjan Chetty +7 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that LSG specimens be subject to gross pathologic examination in the vast majority of cases, however, sections should be submitted for microscopic analysis if grossly evident lesions are present and if there is a clinical/known history of clinically actionable findings.

David A. McClellan,Chinedum O. Ojinnaka,Robert Pope,John F. Simmons,Katie Fuller,Andrew Richardson,Janet W. Helduser,Phillip Nash,Marcia G. Ory,Jane N. Bolin +9 more
TL;DR: Quality indicators from colonoscopy procedures performed by family medicine physicians as part of a colorectal cancer prevention program targeting uninsured, low-income individuals met the recommended quality indicators set forth by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Molecular Profiles of Pre- and Postoperative Breast Cancer Tumours Reveal Differentially Expressed Genes
Margit Riis,Margit Riis,Torben Lüders,Torben Lüders,E.K. Markert,Vilde D. Haakensen,Vilde D. Haakensen,Anne Jorun Nesbakken,Vessela N. Kristensen,Vessela N. Kristensen,Vessela N. Kristensen,Ida R. K. Bukholm,Ida R. K. Bukholm +12 more
TL;DR: Compared the gene expression profiles in preoperative tissue (core needle biopsies) while tumor is still in its normal milieu to postoperative tissue from the same tumor obtained during surgery, which revealed 228 differently expressed genes, including several early response stress-related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology and protective approaches of gut injury in critical illness
Chang Yeon Jung,Jung Min Bae +1 more
TL;DR: The trophic effects of enteral nutrition might help to maintain the intestinal physiology, prevent atrophy of gut villi, reduce intestinal permeability, and protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury as well as promote rapid hypertrophy of the small bowel.

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Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?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

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.
