Fcγ receptor activation mediates vascular inflammation and abdominal aortic aneurysm development

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Our work suggests a pathogenic role of IgG IC interaction with activating FcγR present in infiltrating and VSMC during AAA formation. These results support the investigation of novel immunotherapeutic strategies targeting FcγRs and/or downstream molecules to inhibit humoral immune damage in AAA Abstract Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a ...

Comparison of the Peritoneal Cancer Index and Dutch region count as tools to stage patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1153-1161, December 2020., 2020
This retrospective study compared two classification tools, the Dutch region count and the Peritoneal Cancer Index, for colorectal peritoneal metastases, and validated the results in a separate cohort. The region count was easier to apply, and may benefit doctors who refer patients to expert centres.

Randomized clinical trial of the effect of intraoperative humidified carbon dioxide insufflation in open laparotomy for colorectal resection

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 45-58, February 2020., 2020
Open abdominal surgery leads to peritoneal desiccation and damage, resulting in inflammation. This peritoneal damage can be mitigated by the use of warmed, humidified carbon dioxide. Peritoneal inflammation and open surgery Background Animal studies have shown that peritoneal injury can be minimized by insufflating the abdominal cavity with warm ...

Role of diagnostic laparoscopy in patients with suspicion of colorectal peritoneal metastases to evaluate suitability for cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy

BJS Open, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 812-821, December 2019., 2019
Diagnostic laparoscopy in the preoperative workup for cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is feasible and safe in patients with suspicion of colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM). Exploratory laparotomy can be omitted for patients with extensive disease, who should not undergo unnecessary interventions, or for patients ...

Clinical management of chronic mesenteric ischemia

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 179-188, March 2019., 2019
This review provides an overview on the clinical management of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). CMI is defined as insufficient blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, most often caused by atherosclerotic stenosis of one or more mesenteric arteries. Patients classically present with postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss.

Canadian Consensus on Medically Acceptable Wait Times for Digestive Health Care

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 411-423, 2006., 2006
BACKGROUND: Delays in access to health care in Canada have been reported, but standardized systems to manage and monitor wait lists and wait times, and benchmarks for appropriate wait times, are lacking. The objective of the present consensus was to develop evidence‐ and expertise‐based recommendations for medically appropriate maximal wait times for ...

Cancer of the Pancreas: The Best Image for Early Detection – CT, MRI, PET or US?

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 101-105, 2002., 2002
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, and the best chance for survival is to diagnose the tumour at an early stage. Abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are the most commonly used radiological techniques for imaging the pancreas.
