This study highlights the impact of the presence or absence of bile duct stricture on the clinical and histological profile of patients as well as their operative and the post-operative behaviour. It is concluded that hepatic resection is an appropriate treatment modality in localized left-sided hepatolithiasis.
reconstruction prior to initiation of PT. Median PT dose was 50.51 cobalt gray equivalent. Assessment of acute dermatitis revealed 29 patients with grade 2 and 5 with grade 3 toxicity. 5 patients experienced grade 2 esophagitis. Two patients had grade 2 chest wall pain, and 3 patients had grade 3 chest wall pain. Pearson's r Correlation was performed to assess relationship between grade 2 or higher acute dermatitis and grade 2 esophagitis for the following variables measuring greater than the cohort median: planning target volume (PTV) V105 and V110, skin dmax, esophagus mean dose, and esophagus dmax. PTV V105 37.43%, PTV V110 2.9%, skin dmax 55.52, esophagus mean dose 6.09, and esophagus max dose 50.985 did not demonstrate a strong positive correlation to acute skin or esophageal toxicity, respectively. Conclusion: PT for BCa patients requiring RNI appears well tolerated with acceptable acute toxicity. Longer follow-up is needed.
Tumors of mediastinum represent a wide diversity of disease status. The location and composition of mass is critical to narrowing the differential diagnosis 1. The presentation of mediastinal tumors depends upon the location, size, and invasiveness, degree of compression and endocrine effect of tumor 2. The diagnosis of mediastinal mass is an extremely challenging job. Careful history, physical examination combined with imaging and biochemical markers are useful for diagnosis. Material and Methods:-This study was conducted from April 2003 to October 2013 and a total of 98 patients with mediastinal mass lesions who have been operated in the department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgery in Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar during this time period were included in this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
