Abstract

Surgical resection of hepatic or pulmonary metastases has been accepted as appropriate therapy. However, whether aggressive surgery of both hepatic and pulmonary metastases from colorectal carcinoma is of value has not been verified in detail. The authors identified 156 patients who had undergone hepatic resection for colorectal carcinoma metastases. This study reviewed six of these patients who underwent resection of both hepatic and pulmonary metastases from colorectal carcinoma. Five of the patients included four who underwent pulmonary resection for pulmonary metastases after initial hepatic resection for hepatic metastases and one patient who underwent hepatic metastasis resection after initial pulmonary metastasis resection. One additional patient underwent a simultaneous resection of hepatic and pulmonary metastases. The median interval between the 2 resections was 23 months. The median follow-up was 32 months after the second resection. At the time of last follow-up, 4 patients were alive and free of recurrent disease at 6, 7, 38, and 64 months, respectively, after their second resection. The remaining 2 patients died of disease at 17 and 32 months, respectively, after the second surgery. The results of the current stud...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.
