Current treatment of cystic echinococcosis is surgery or percutaneous aspiration, injection and reaspiration (PAIR) using hypertonic saline or ethanol. It is aimed at causing permanent damage to the endocyst - the thin, delicate, and translucid inner membrane that produces the cystic fluid and generates new larval elements able to expand the infestation. Surgery and PAIR on liver and lung can result in biliary or bronchial fistulae, prompted by endocyst detachment; chemical cholangitis or pneumonia, due to passing of hypertonic saline or ethanol into the biliary or bronchial tree; and infection or abscess on the residual cyst cavity. http://www.physorg.com/news167657371.html Medicine & Health Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:50:01 EST news167657371 The search for the cause of an inherited form of a rare, aggressive childhood lung cancer has uncovered important information about how the cancer develops and potentially sheds light on the development of other cancers. http://www.physorg.com/news159465172.html Medicine & Health Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:53:20 EST news159465172 A handful of proteins, detected in incredibly tiny amounts, may one day help doctors distinguish between a harmless lesion in the pancreas and a potentially deadly one, say researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center. http://www.physorg.com/news155921088.html Medicine & Health Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:25:21 EST news155921088 Retrorectal cystic hamartoma (hindgut cyst) is a rare developmental lesion arising from the vestiges of the embryonic hind gut. Other developmental cysts can occur in retrorectal space. Anal gland cysts can develop near the anal sphincter. All these cysts are similar to retrorectal cystic hamartoma and their exact diagnosis depends on the histopathological examination including immunohistochemical profile. Retrorectal cysts are asymptomatic in 50% of the cases and the lesion is an incidental finding. http://www.physorg.com/news147351428.html Medicine & Health Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:57:08 EST news147351428 Modification of the current screening criteria are needed for diagnosing patients with autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD), according to a study appearing in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). The results suggest that some patients with a milder form of the disease may otherwise be misdiagnosed. http://www.physorg.com/news143867033.html Medicine & Health Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:03:53 EST news143867033
