Laparoscopy in liver transplantation: The future has arrived [PDF]
, 2012 In the last two decades, laparoscopy has revolutionized the field of surgery. Many procedures previously performed with an open access are now routinely carried out with the laparoscopic approach.

Adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism and its related surgical characteristics
Frontiers in EndocrinologyPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension. Adrenalectomy is an effective treatment for unilateral PA, particularly aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), resulting in improvements in biochemical parameters and blood pressure in

Clonal Composition of Human Adrenocortical Neoplasms [PDF]
, 1994 The mechanisms of tumorigenesis of adrenocortical neoplasms are still not understood. Tumor formation may be the result of spontaneous transformation of adrenocortical cells by somatic mutations.

In vivo Mononuclear Phagocyte Migration: Paradoxical Effect of Adrenalectomy
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 The effect of adrenalectomy on neutrophil and monocyte migration into rat peritoneal and pleural cavities was investigated. Carrageenin- or thioglycollate-induced neutrophil emigration into both cavities was enhanced by adrenalectomy.

Morphofunctional correlations in the experimental study of myocardiopathies under the stress of forced restraint. Note 2: The influence of adrenal imbalance [PDF]
Tests were performed with 70 rats to determine the effects of restraint on the functions and structure of the myocardium under varying conditions of adrenal imbalance. Results showed that in rats with adrenal imbalance, fasting and restraint produced the

P53 mutations in human adrenocortical neoplasms [PDF]
, 1994 The mechanisms of tumorigenesis of adrenocortical neoplasms have not been elucidated as yet. However, loss of heterozygosity at chromosomal locus 17p has been consistently observed in adrenocortical cancer.

Skeletal muscle metabolism in hypokinetic rats [PDF]
Muscle growth, protein metabolism, and amino acid metabolism were studied in various groups of rats. Certain groups were adrenaliectomized; some rats were suspended while others (the controls) were weight bearing. Results show that: (1) metabolic changes
