Abstract

To clarify the "natural history" of unresected cholangiocarcinoma. We reviewed the outcome in 103 patients with biopsy-proven cholangiocarcinoma managed at our institution during a 5-year period (1980 through 1984) who did not undergo curative resection. The study group of 56 men and 47 women had initial manifestations of jaundice (71%), abdominal pain (49%), and weight loss (44%). The histopathologic features were confirmed by operation in 73 patients, percutaneous biopsy in 16, endoscopy in 3, or autopsy in 11. The primary tumor site was the common hepatic duct in 27%, the hepatic bifurcation in 27%, the common bile duct in 26%, the liver in 13%, and the right or left hepatic duct in 6%. Biopsy-proven metastatic lesions were identified in 70 patients, including 18 with proven nodal involvement. Surgical intervention (N = 57) most commonly consisted of biliary decompression (26%), biliary bypass (16%), or cholecystectomy (11%). The operative mortality was 4% (N = 2). The hospital mortality of medically managed patients was 12%. The survival after the onset of symptoms was 53% at 1 year, 19% at 2 years, and 9% at 3 years. Only four patients (4%) lived more than 5 years. Univariate analysis of all hospitalized patients (N = 90) ...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.
