Herein is presented a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence related to operative outcomes associated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RLM) compared with abdominal myomectomy (AM) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Outcome measures included estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transfusion, operating time, complications, length of hospital stay (LOHS), and costs. Meta-analysis 1 compared RLM vs AM, and meta-analysis 2 compared RLM vs LM. Studies scored moderately well on the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. No significant differences were found in age, body mass index, or number, diameter, and weight of myomas. In meta-analysis 1, EBL, blood transfusion, and LOHS were significantly lower; risk of complications was similar; and operating time and costs were significantly higher with RLM. In meta-analysis 2, no significant differences were noted in EBL, operating time, complications, and LOHS with RLM; however, blood transfusion risk and costs were higher. It was concluded that insofar as operative outcomes, RLM has significant short-term benefits compared with AM and no benefits compared with LM. Long-term benefits such as recurrence, fertility, and obstetric outcomes remain uncertain. 相似文献

Leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloidosis (ALECT2) is a recently described form of systemic amyloidosis, which most commonly affects the kidney and liver. The LECT2 protein is produced during inflammatory processes, but its precise function in renal diseases in unclear. ALECT2, however, is known to be a relatively common form of renal amyloidosis, after amyloid light chain and serum amyloid A types and is most often seen in patients of Hispanic ethnicity. ALECT2 can occur de novo or as recurrent disease in kidney transplants. We present the first case, to our knowledge, of de novo ALECT2 in a pediatric kidney transplant patient, 15 years post‐transplant. 相似文献

Lenalidomide, a thalidomide analogue, is an immunomodulatory drug currently used as a chemotherapeutic agent in treating certain hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma. The antineoplastic effect of lenalidomide may be due to its ability to modulate different components of the immune system as well as its antiangiogenic, antiproliferative, and direct cytotoxic activity. Given its immunomodulatory effects, lenalidomide may potentially elicit unintended immune activity against allografts in solid organ transplant recipients. Here, we present a case of a renal transplant recipient who developed multiple myeloma after transplantation and was treated with the use of lenalidomide, which precipitated severe acute T-cell–mediated rejection. Lenalidomide was thought to be causative, and after cessation of the drug her renal function stabilized. 相似文献

BackgroundAccurate staging of newly diagnosed or recurrent malignancy is essential for effective treatment. An important first step in staging involves the use of PET/CT to identify areas of FDG avidity. PET/CT however has limitations, including false positive FDG uptake from benign causes. In this paper we characterize an uncommon yet clinically important cause of false positive PET/CTs, that of benign anthracotic lymphadenitis (BAL). We examine the clinical, radiographic and histologic characteristics of BAL in patients referred for endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided biopsies and discuss its context in relation to existing literature.MethodsWe performed a retrospective observational case series of 20 patients who were referred for EBUS guided biopsies of PET positive mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes during the work-up or treatment of suspected malignancy.ResultsTo be included, all patients received PET imaging as well as an EBUS guided biopsy of FDG avid lymph nodes which demonstrated anthracotic pigment as the only histologic abnormality. The key findings were that 90% of patients in this cohort were born outside of the US, 90% had bilateral FDG avid lymph nodes with an average standardized uptake value (SUV) of 7.9±2.2. Most patients, based on their history, had a likely exposure to biomass fuel or urban pollution.ConclusionsBAL may be an underrecognized cause for PET positive lymph nodes in patients undergoing work-up for malignancy. These findings support the importance of sampling mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes even when SUVs are highly suggestive of malignancy. 相似文献
