Despite urbanization of contemporary society and limitation on the environmental areas, the threat of animal attacks on people is still an important social and medical problem. Although they usually do not have serious consequences, they are nevertheless disturbing and alarming enough to make people seek professional, medical help. The aim of this study was to estimate the epidemiology and the risk rate of animal related injuries in the urban and rural population, as well as to select the characteristics of such injuries, which are distinguishable from injuries caused by other factors. The work presents a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 1,872 patients treated at the Department of Trauma and Emergency Department between 2001-2004, who suffered from animal related injuries. Our analysis led to the following conclusions: Most animal related injuries, reported to doctors, are mild injuries. The threat of animal attack is similar in urban and in rural areas, and concerns mostly men between the ages of 22-40. Injuries caused by large animals, such as a horse or a cow, require hospitalization and should be considered as high-energy injuries. The vast majority were patients who after the treatment could return to their social and occupational activities; the mortality rate in hospitalized patients with animal related injuries was higher then in other injuries, but the difference was statistically irrelevant.
We evaluated the utility of Dukes' classification as a prognostic indicator in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus treated with a combined-modality therapy (CMT). Experimental procedures: We analyzed a series of 71 patients, who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CDDP+5FU) — 50 patients or chemoradiotherapy (CDDP+5FU+radiation dose of 30Gy) — 21 patients, with esophagectomy and two-field extended lymph node dissection. The pathological staging was determined in all the patients according to the TNM and Dukes' classifications. Results: The differences in cumulative survival rates between particular TNM stages were statistically insignificant and in Dukes' classification the difference between pA and pB patients reached statistical significance (p=0.02) but between pB and pC patients it was statistically insignificant. Conclusions: 1. Pathological staging after neoadjuvant treatment in esophageal cancer patients is also a significant prognostic indicator. 2. Dukes' staging classification adopted for esophageal cancer could be more significant prognostic factor than the TNM classification.
Ectopic pancreas, a rare entity, is defined as pancreatic tissue lying outside its normal location without anatomical or vascular connections with the pancreas proper. Most occurrences of heterotopic pancreas are located in the stomach wall, duodenum, small intestine or anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to describe the endoscopic, endosonographic (EUS) and radiological features of these lesions. Management of the ectopic pancreas remains controversial. The authors describe 12 patients and try to recommend different kind of treatment in the light of the symptoms, location and size of the lesions.
