[Evaluation of severity in acute pancreatitis.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Acute pancreatitis has a variable etiology and natural history, and some patients have severe complications with a significant risk of death. The prediction of severe disease should be achieved by careful ongoing clinical assessment coupled with the use of a multiple factor scoring system and imaging studies. Over the past 30 years several scoring systems have been developed to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis. However, there are no complete scoring index with high sensitivity and specificity till now. The interest in new biological markers and predictive models for identifying severe acute pancreatitis testi...

[A case of liposarcoma arising in the mesentery.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults with an incidence of about 20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although incidence differs from a region of origination, a case arisen from mesentery has rarely been reported. We experienced a case of liposarcoma arising from the mesentery of a 51-year-old male patient. He was treated by wide excision. Histologically, the tumor was composed of a mixed well-differentiated liposarcoma with myxoid and spindle cell type. PMID: 19844144 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)

Venous thrombosis and thromboembolism appear to occur more often in patient with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The cause of thrombotic complications in IBD is generally considered to be associated with hypercoagulable conditions. Its prevalence rate ranges from 1% to 8% in clinical studies and rises to 39% in autopsy, but the renal vein thrombosis is very rare complication in ulcerative colitis patient. A 24-year-old man presented with intermittent abdominal pain and hematochezia for 6 months and recently developed pitting edema for few weeks. He was diagnosed as severe ulcerative colitis involving whole colon comb...

Hyperdynamic circulation in patients with liver cirrhosis is characterized by increased cardiac output and heart rate, and decreased systemic vascular resistance with low arterial blood pressure and currently focused on understanding the pathogenesis because of possibility of developing novel treatment modality. Basically, these hemodynamic alternations arise from portal hypertension. Portosystemic collaterals develop to counterbalance the increased intrahepatic vascular resistance to portal blood flow and induce an increase in venous return to heart. Increased shear stress in vascular endothelial cell related high blo...

Gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Korea and has overall survival rate of around 50%. Gastric cancer detected in early stage can be cured by endoscopic resection or less invasive surgical treatment and the subsequent prognosis is excellent. National cancer screening program for gastric cancer has been available for several years. The evaluation for efficacy of our screening strategy is strongly needed in terms of mortality reduction and cost-effectiveness. Accurate diagnosis and staging evaluation is important for proper management and prediction of a patients prognosis. It is recommended to understand the adv...

As the proportion of early gastric cancer has been increasing with national cancer screening program, endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancer has been expanded with the progress of endoscopic technique and accessories. Recently, expanded indication of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer has been proposed with technical and instrumental advances. Although endoscopic complete resection rate has been improved, critical evaluation should be made for appropriate indication of endoscopic resection in terms of risk of occult metastasis.

[Surgical treatment of gastric carcinoma.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Korea. The only treatment modality showing improved survival for gastric cancer is curative surgical resection, which comprises the resection of stomach, proper lymphadenectomy, and reconstruction. However, specific surgical procedures should be decided according to the location of the cancer, advancement of the tumor, and patients condition. Surgical treatment for gastric cancer has been developed toward two directions that are minimal invasive surgery for early gastric cancer and multi-disciplinary approach for advanced gastric cancer. Laparoscopic surgery for early gas...

The polypoid lesions larger than 10 mm show a quite different feature. They showed a remarkable risk of malignancy (34-88%) and should be treated by surgery.
