Retrospective Multicenter Study

Summary:Aim: For the surgical therapy of differentiated thyroid cancer precise guidelines are applied by the German medical societies. In a retrospective multicenter study, we investigated the following issues: Are the current guidelines respected?. Is there a difference concerning the surgical radicalism and the outcome?. Does the perioperative morbidity increase with the higher radicalism of the procedure?. Patients, methods: Data gained from 102 patients from 17 regional referral hospitals who underwent surgery for thyroid cancer and a following radioiodine treatment (mean follow up: 42.7 [24-79] months) were analyzed. At least 71 criterias were analyzed in a SPSS file. Results: 46.1% of carcinomas were incidentally detected during goiter surgery. The thyroid cancer (papillary n = 78; follicular n = 24) occurred in 87% unilateral and in 13% bilateral. Papillary carcinomas <1 cm were detected in 25 cases; in five of these cases (20%) contralateral carcinomas <1 cm were found. There were significant differences concerning the surgical radicalism: a range from hemithyroidectomy to radical thyroidectomy with lateral neck dissection. Analysis of the histopathologic reports revealed that lymph node dissection was not performed according to guidelines in 55% of all patients. The perioperative morbidity was lower in departments with a high case load. The postoperative dysfunction of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (mean: 7.9% total / 4.9% nerves at risk) variated highly, depending on differences in radicalism and hospitals. Up to now these variations in surgical treatment have shown no differences in their outcome and survival rates, when followed by radioiodine therapy. Conclusion: Current surgical regimes did not follow the guidelines in more than 50% of all cases. This low acceptance has to be discussed. The actual discussion about principles of treatment regarding, the socalled papillary microcarcinomas (old term) has to be respected within the current guidelines.

This article presents information about modern principles of diagnosis and treatment of HPV-associated diseases. Behind cervical cancer morbidity and mortality rates over the past 10 years increase significantly. Examination and observation of patients with human papillomavirus persistence of highly oncogenic types is important a link in cancer prevention. The article presents diagnostic methods, treatment of cervical diseases, as well as the possibility of pharmacotherapy in HPV-associated diseases.

Data from Web of Science, SCOPUS, Pub Med, Medline, E-library, and other sources was used in writing this article. The main focus was directed towards literature written in English. The selection of literature was based on such concepts as: etiopathogenesis, historical principles of treatment, methods of surgical and non-surgical intervention. Data from metanalysis publications and randomized clinical trials pertaining to the treatment of the pilonidal sinus at various stages of its formation was used, as well.

AbstractThe physiology and effectiveness of the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms are studied. The working of the control system is discussed and its effects demonstrated. The general effect of this thermoregulation on the likelihood of survival is considered, together with the principles of treatment for those suffering from immersion or exposure.

Principles Of Treatment

A case of recurrent bacterial endocarditis due to a relatively resistant alpha streptococcus is reviewed. The following general principles of treatment are recommended: 1. Intravenous penicillin therapy should be instituted in all instances. 2. Should serum bactericidal levels indicate the organism to be extremely sensitive (&lt; 0.1 units/ml) oral phenoxymethyl penicillin (Penicillin-V) may be substituted after 3 weeks. 3. In cases infected with organisms sensitive to greater than 0.1 units/ml, intravenous therapy should be continued for 6 weeks and streptomycin added for 2 weeks. 4. When facilities for studying penicillin sensitivity and serum bactericidal activity are not available, the intravenous penicillin-streptomycin regime is recommended.
