Positive status of alpha-fetoprotein and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin: important prognostic factor for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors after the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients who had undergone hepatic resection. We used univariate and multivariate retrospective analyses of 29 clinicopathologic factors in 143 patients with recurrent HCC. Patients were classified into four groups according to the positivity of tumor markers at the time of recurrence. Survival rates and prognostic factors were then compared among the four groups. Multivariate analysis revealed four independent prognostic factors at recurrence: albumin level < 3.5 g/dl ( p = 0.0003), period until recurrence

  • Nonoperative Management of Blunt Splenic Trauma in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: Feasibility and Outcomes.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:Preventing secondary insult to the brain is imperative following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although TBI does not preclude nonoperative management (NOM) of splenic injuries, development of hypotension in this setting may be detrimental and could therefore lead trauma surgeons to a lower threshold for op...
