Peritoneal malignancies (PM) are defined as the spread of malignant epithelial cells in the peritoneal cavity. Until the recent past, the prognosis was considered extremely poor, and the treatment options had only palliative intent. Currently, new locoregional treatments have radically changed the outcome.

In regenerative medicine, effective management of tissue ischemia in surgical skin flaps is crucial, yet challenging, particularly because inadequate blood flow often leads to necrosis at the distal flap tips. This study aimed to examine the therapeutic potential of catalase-coated oxygen-generating microparticles embedded in gelatin methacryloyl (cOMP-GelMA) hydrogel to establish an optimized environment conducive to tissue regeneration. Using a large 3 × 9 cm rat random-pattern skin flap model, flap survival and regeneration were evaluated across four groups: control, pure GelMA hydrogel, and cOMP-GelMA hydrogel with two concentrations of cOMPs (0.

Purpose: This proof-of-concept study introduces a novel, deep learning-based, parameter-free, automatic slice-tracking technique for continuous catheter tracking and visualization during MR-guided cardiac catheterization.

Methods: The proposed sequence includes Calibration and Runtime modes. Initially, Calibration mode identifies the catheter tip's three-dimensional coordinates using a fixed stack of contiguous slices.

Background & Aims: Portal vein (PV) thrombosis may represent a relative contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) used in portal hypertension complications, may allow portal vein recanalization (PVR).

Methods: We reported PVR-TIPS in patients who were candidates for LT for clinical conditions but deemed contraindicated because of PV anatomy.

Objective: The study was carried out to compare the effect of transparent covers and elastic fixation bands used in peripheral venous catheter fixation on microbiological colonisation in patients in intensive care.

Method: This experimental randomised controlled study was conducted with patients treated in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Unit (an intensive care unit, ICU) of a training and research hospital in Istanbul between January 2019 and May 2020. Participants were divided into two equal groups: intervention: (catheters fixed with a transparent cover) and control (catheters fixed with an elastic fixation band) by the block randomisation method (CONSORT).
