Preoperative Aortic Calcification Volume Predicts Postoperative Complications in Nonpancreatic Cancer Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Postoperative complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remain high, particularly in patients with soft pancreatic texture. Abdominal aortic calcification volume (AACV), a surrogate marker of systemic arteriosclerosis, has been associated with increased surgical risk in lower gastrointestinal procedures ...

Impact of Body Weight Loss During Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy on Prognosis of Patients With Lower Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in body weight and composition during chemoradiotherapy, such as the psoas muscle mass index, visceral fat index, and subcutaneous fat index obtained from computed tomography images, and long‐term outcomes in rectal cancer patients.

Relation of C-reactive protein to body fat distribution and features of the metabolic syndrome in Europeans and South Asians.

, 2001
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and indices of body fat distribution and the insulin resistance syndrome in South Asians and Europeans. DESIGN: : Cross-sectional study.

Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes of Colorectal Cancer Surgery in Obese Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The prognostic value of the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) across BMI categories was investigated in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. The exploratory evidence demonstrates that LODDS serves as a strong prognostic marker, and its adverse effect may be more pronounced in patients with higher BMI.

Psoas Muscle Volume as a Predictor of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Emergency Surgery for Strangulated Small Bowel Obstruction: A Retrospective Single‐Center Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study identified low preoperative psoas muscle volume, measured by computed tomography, as an independent predictor of postoperative complications in patients undergoing emergency surgery for strangulated small bowel obstruction. Low psoas muscle volume, particularly in older adults, was associated with cardiopulmonary and systemic ...

Insulin Injections Promote the Growth of Aberrant Crypt Foci in the Colon of Rats [PDF]

, 1997
The main objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that exogenous insulin would enhance colon carcinogenesis. Thirty-six female F344 rats, fed ad libitum a low fat rodent chow, received a single azoxymethane injection (20 mg/kg), and were

Prognostic Value of Psoas Major Muscle Volume in Assessing Sarcopenia in Elderly Patients With Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the prognostic utility of a novel volumetric indicator—psoas volume index (PVI)—for assessing sarcopenia in elderly rectal cancer patients. Sarcopenia classified by our proposed PVI cut‐off values was associated with poor nutritional and inflammatory status, and patients with low PVI showed significantly worse long‐term outcomes.

Diagnostic value of focal hyperechoic mesenteric fat sign as an indicator of the primary source of intra-abdominal pathology in patients with abdominal pain

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences
Background Most acute abdominal pain raises the suspension of infectious or inflammatory processes. The most obvious sign of acute intra-abdominal inflammation is frequently the identification of inflamed fat on the ultrasound.
