Synchronous Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor and Adenocarcinoma in the Stomach [PDF]
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor in GIT. However, the synchronous coexistence of GIST with other gastrointestinal malignancy is not so common. Herein, we report an unusual case of synchronous gastric GIST and

Influence of the Proximal Margin Length on Local Anastomotic Recurrence in Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction: A Single-center Experience [PDF]
Background: Curative resection with adequate margins is a treatment principle in gastroesophageal junction cancers. There is still no comprehensive agreement on the length of the negative proximal margin after total gastrectomy in Siewert II and III ...

Soliton approximation in continuum models of leader-follower behavior [PDF]
Complex biological processes involve collective behavior of entities (bacteria, cells, animals) over many length and time scales and can be described by discrete models that track individuals or by continuum models involving densities and fields. We consider hybrid stochastic agent-based models of branching morphogenesis and angiogenesis (new blood ...

Stochastic Model of Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Ensemble Averages and Deterministic Equations [PDF]
A recent conceptual model of tumor-driven angiogenesis including branching, elongation, and anastomosis of blood vessels captures some of the intrinsic multiscale structures of this complex system, yet allowing to extract a deterministic integro-partial differential description of the vessel tip density [Phys. Rev. E 90, 062716 (2014)].

Studies comparing the anastomotic leak rate in patients with an intrathoracic versus a cervical anastomosis after oesophagectomy are equivocal. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcome after oesophagectomy in patients with an intrathoracic ...

Objectives: Lower rectal resection is associated with a high rate of postoperative complications and, therefore, adversely impacts the postoperative health-related quality of life (QoL).

Constructing solutions for a kinetic model of angiogenesis in annular domains [PDF]
We prove existence and stability of solutions for a model of angiogenesis set in an annular region. Branching, anastomosis and extension of blood vessel tips are described by an integrodifferential kinetic equation of Fokker-Planck type supplemented with nonlocal boundary conditions and coupled to a diffusion problem with Neumann boundary conditions ...

A Novel Technique for Laryngotracheal Reconstruction for Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis [PDF]
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis is the most challenging condition in the field of upper airway reconstruction. We describe a successful novel technique for enlarging the airway space at the site of the laryngotracheal anastomosis in very high-level ...
