Recent attention has focused on the potential deleterious effects of radiation exposure from medical imaging procedures. Experimental and epidemiologic evidence suggests that low dose exposure to ionizing radiation may result in the development of solid tumors and leukemia. Medical personnel are limited to a maximum of 50 mHv in a given year. This large retrospective cohort study uses claims data from United Healthcare in selected regions of the United States over a 2-year period (2005–2007). Codes were used to identify patients undergoing imaging procedures. The approximate radiation exposure was calculated for each of ...

Hepatic resection for colorectal metastases: the impact of surgical margin status on outcomeemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
An R0 margin width of 1 cm has traditionally been considered a prerequisite to minimize local recurrence and optimize survival following hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal cancer. However, recent data have called into question the prognostic importance of the '1-cm rule'. Specifically, several studies have noted that, although an R0 resection is important, the actual margin width may not be as critical. We provide a brief overview of the impact of an R1 vs. an R0 resection on local recurrence and overall survival. In addition, we specifically review the impact of margin width in patients who have undergone an R0 r...

Perioperative chemotherapy with bevacizumab and liver resection for colorectal cancer liver metastasisemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: These data confirm the safety of chemotherapy regimens which include Bev in the perioperative setting and demonstrate that such perioperative chemotherapy in patients with CRLM does not adversely affect patient outcome. There was no increase in perioperative morbidity compared with published rates. The addition of Bev to standard chemotherapy may improve response rates, which may, in turn, impact favourably on patient survival.

The incidence, prevalence, and even the clinical behavior of ulcerative colitis (UC) are highly variable in different world regions. In previous studies, Portugal was reported as having a milder clinical behavior. The aim of this study was to apply the Montreal Classification in a large group of UC Portuguese patients in order to describe their clinical characteristics and evaluate variables potentially useful for outcome prediction.A cross-sectional study based on data collected from a nationwide online registry was undertaken.In all, 2863 patients with UC were included. Twenty-one percent had ulcerative proctitis, 52% le...

We describe the incidence and outcome of CTE in pediatric IBD patients from a single center over 5 years and the relative proportion of stroke reported in the literature in patients with UC and CD before and after January 2000.Demographic data were extracted on all newly diagnosed cases of IBD in our center from January 2003 to January 2008 to ascertain patient characteristics, disease type, risk factors for CTE, modality of neuroimaging, and outcome. A literature search was performed to identify all articles describing stroke in pediatric IBD. All identified studies were stratified into those published before and after Ja...

Crohn's disease (CD) is a multifactorial syndrome with genetic and environmental contributions. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) has been frequently isolated from mucosal tissues of patients with CD but the cellular immune response to this bacterium has been poorly described. Our aim was to examine the influence of MAP on T-cell proliferation and cytokine responses in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and mesenteric lymph node cells (MLNCs) were obtained from IBD patients and non-IBD controls. PBMC T-cell proliferation in response to MAP was deter...
