Abstract

From 1986 to 1995 a total of 97 patients > 65 years of age underwent hepatic resections at the Department of General Surgery, Hospital Lainz, Vienna, Austria. The population consisted of 39 men and 58 women with a mean age of 74.0 +/- 5.5 years. Primary neoplasia of the liver was the cause of resection in 35 patients, gallbladder cancer in 16 patients, and metastatic disease to the liver (due to colorectal cancer in 70%) in 40 patients. The rate of major resections (> or = 3 liver segments) was 96% for primary neoplasia of the liver, 70% for metastatic disease to the liver, and 50% for gallbladder cancer; the associated mortality rates were 23%, 2.5%, and 25%, respectively. The magnitude of the resection had a significant influence on survival for gallbladder cancer (p = 0.02) and for primary neoplasia of the liver (p = 0.002) but not for metastatic disease to the liver. This reflects the high rate of cirrhosis in hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinoma (88%) and gallbladder cancer (37.5%). Both pre- and postoperative severe liver dysfunction had a significantly higher risk for postoperative mortality and morbidity, which showed an incremental risk with age. Another organ system able to predict outcome at the beginning o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
