Laparoscopic staging of biliopancreatic malignancy.
The main benefit of laparoscopic staging (LLU) of (distal) bilio-pancreatic malignancy is the detection of small superficial metastases at the liver surface and peritoneum and local tumor ingrowth. The different aspects of laparoscopic staging have been described extensively in the literature and the benefit is generally expressed in terms of prevention of laparotomy. The impact of this final s...
متن کاملMicropumps—past, progress and future prospects
If a high and on-going research dynamics is taken as a rejuvenating factor microfluidics can still be regarded as a truly young discipline, although some microfluidic devices definitely can not be considered as “youngsters” any more. In a time of 30 years of ISFETOLOGY it may be worth to take a look at these devices in order to examine, whether they had—and still have—the potential to stimulate...
متن کاملDown syndrome—recent progress and future prospects
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 (Hsa21) and is associated with a number of deleterious phenotypes, including learning disability, heart defects, early-onset Alzheimer's disease and childhood leukaemia. Individuals with DS are affected by these phenotypes to a variable extent; understanding the cause of this variation is a key challenge. Here, we review recent research p...
متن کاملUterus transplantation: current progress and future prospects
Even if reproductive medicine has been remarkably successful during the past few decades, with the introduction of in vitro fertilization in the late 1970s and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in the early 1990s, it has been repeatedly mocked by infertility due to an absolute uterine factor. No treatment has been available for the women suffering from an absent or dysfunctional uterus, in terms...
متن کاملBiliopancreatic malignancy current diagnostic possibilities: an overview.
Modern imaging of pancreatic cancer remains a daily challenge both for detection and staging. Helical CT scanning, MRI, and more recently endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) all contribute. Demonstration of local vascular anatomy for assessing resectability is increasingly performed by non-invasive methods such as CT and MR angiography avoiding the need for traditional catheter angiograms. While a vari...
