Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy improves survival in locally advanced adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a propensity score matching analysis

BMC Surgery, 2021
Background To analyze whether neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) could improve the survival for patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT).

Relationship Between Kyphosis and Postoperative Gastroesophageal Reflux After Proximal Gastrectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study examined the relationship between kyphosis and postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after proximal gastrectomy using a kyphosis definition that is familiar to surgeons for preoperative assessment. Multivariate analysis revealed that kyphosis is an independent risk factor for GERD after proximal gastrectomy.

A theory of π/2 superconducting Josephson junctions [PDF]

, 1999
We consider theoretically a Josephson junction with a superconducting critical current density which has a random sign along the junction's surface. We show that the ground state of the junction corresponds to the phase difference equal to \pi/2. Such a situation can take place in superconductor- ferromagnet junction.

Macroscopic and histomorphometric analysis of the esophagogastric junction region of horses used for traction [PDF]

Biotemas, 2011
The esophagogastric junction was evaluated macroscopically and histologically, seeking to identify adaptive changes in a sample of six adult horses, being four males and two females, used for traction.

A Case of Generalized Acanthosis Nigricans with Positive Lupus Erythematosus-Related Autoantibodies and Antimicrosomal Antibody: Autoimmune Acanthosis Nigricans

Case Reports in Dermatology, 2012
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a hyperpigmented keratotic skin lesion known to be associated with malignant disease and endocrinopathy. We report a very rare case of generalized AN with Sjögren’s syndrome- and systemic lupus erythematosus-like features but

Essential Updates 2023/2024: Recent Advances of Multimodal Approach in Patients for Gastric Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastric cancer remains a major global health burden, especially in East Asia. Recent years have brought significant advances in multimodal management, including surgery, perioperative chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and supportive care. This review summarizes key updates from 2023 to 2024, focusing on surgical innovations, perioperative systemic ...

Dynamics of point Josephson junctions in a microstrip line [PDF]

, 2005
We model the dynamics of point Josephson junctions in a 1D microstrip line using a wave equation with delta distributed sine nonlinearities. The model is suitable for both low T$_c$ and high T$_c$ systems (0 and $\pi$ junctions). For a single junction in the line, we found two limiting behaviors: the ohmic mode where the junction acts as a pure ...

Laparoscopic and left thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction cancer with right aortic arch: a case report

Surgical Case Reports, 2020
Background Right aortic arch (RAA) is a congenital malformation detected in 0.04% of the population without heterotaxia and makes esophagectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy difficult. A left thoracic approach is recommended in patients with RAA, but a

Engineering antibodies with cancer‐associated binding sites

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review describes antibodies that perform direct/indirect roles in cancer treatment by binding to effective targets and discusses how antibodies kill tumors and modulate tumor microenvironment through these targets. The classification of expression systems for antibody production is summarized to guide appropriate selection based on different ...

PREOPERATIVE MANOMETRY FOR THE SELECTION OF OBESE PEOPLE CANDIDATE TO SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

ABCD: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva, 2017
Background: Sleeve gastrectomy may alter esophageal motility and lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Aim: To detect manometric changings in the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter before and after sleeve gastrectomy in order to select patients who
