Peritoneal adhesions after laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery [PDF]
Although laparoscopy has the potential to reduce peritoneal trauma and post-operative peritoneal adhesion formation, only one randomized controlled trial and a few comparative retrospective clinical studies have addressed this issue.

Peritoneal dissemination is a disease that is difficult to treat surgically because it is widely scattered and proliferates in the abdominal cavity. It is a challenge that even if the drug is administered directly into the abdominal cavity, it rapidly ...

Z-entry technique reduces the risk of trocar-site hernias in obese patients [PDF]
Open laparoscopy and techniques using a Veress needle permit entry into the peritoneal cavity, and are recommended. These approaches require fascial closure of 12mm trocar sites, thereby reducing the risk of trocar-site hernias in obese ...

Isolation of Mononuclear Cell Populations from Ovarian Carcinoma Ascites
Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal tumors in women. Due to a lack of symptoms and adequate screening methods, patients are diagnosed at advanced stages with extensive tumor burden (Jelovac and Armstrong, 2011).

B-1 Cell Heterogeneity and the Regulation of Natural and Antigen-Induced IgM Production. [PDF]
A small subset of B cells, termed B-1 cells, with developmental origins, phenotypes, and functions that are distinct from those of conventional B cells exist in mice. It contributes the vast majority of spontaneously produced "natural" IgM.

Activation of B-1 Cells Promotes Tumor Cell Killing in the Peritoneal Cavity.
Metastatic cancer involving spread to the peritoneal cavity is referred to as peritoneal carcinomatosis and has a very poor prognosis. Activating the antitumor immune response in the characteristically immune-suppressive peritoneal environment presents a

The molecular biology of peritoneal metastatic disease
Peritoneal metastases are a common form of tumor cell dissemination in gastrointestinal malignancies. Peritoneal metastatic disease (PMD) is associated with severe morbidity and resistance to currently employed therapies.
