The liver is a common location of both primary and secondary malignancies. For unresectable liver cancer, many local ablative therapies have been developed. These include e.g., percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), percutaneous acetic acid injection, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryoablation, microwave ablation, laser-induced thermotherapy, and high-intensity focused ultrasound. RFA has recently

For a 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG) to be considered "standard," limb electrodes should be placed distally on the limbs. When resting ECGs are taken in conjunction with an ECG-monitoring situation, so-called monitoring sites (as described by Mason and Likar and also others) on the torso are used. Numerous publication have indicated that these ECGs are not identical with those recorded fr

Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder, often associated with a clinically aggressive behavior. No standard treatment has been established, but patients are usually treated with lymphoma-type regimens such as rituximab or combination chemotherapy. Recently, immunotherapies targeting IL-6 have proven effective and have been approved for this indication. H

OBJECTIVE: To describe the sonographic characteristic of squamous cell cancer (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) of the cervix using transvaginal ultrasound. METHODS: Women with early stage cervical cancer undergoing transvaginal ultrasound examination prior to surgery were prospectively included. The sonographic characteristics were assessed with regard to tumor morphology, vascularization, size, exte

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether statin treatment is effective and safe in very elderly (80 years and older) acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. BACKGROUND: Elderly individuals constitute an increasing percentage of patients admitted to hospitals for AMI. Despite that these patients have a higher mortality risk, the application of evidence-based medicine remai

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of Ki67 in relation to established prognostic factors in lymph node-negative breast cancer, and furthermore, whether the prognostic impact was dependent on estrogen receptor (ER) status and histological grade. In 200 premenopausal patients, with 5 years of follow-up, Ki67 was determined on tissue microarrays. In univariate analysis, Ki67 (

Is personnel resistance in deed as dysfunctional as it is assumed to be, in M&A theory? According to Hirschman (1970), voice is more loyal than exit, implying that employees telling their opinion should be understood as a sign of loyalty, rather than a problem. An important aspect of loyalty is its moral basis. Scanning M&A literature, it becomes evident that very little has been written o
