BACKGROUND Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare and fatal disease for which no standard treatment has been established. Encouraging results have been recently reported with the combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-five patients with PMP underwent CRS and closed abdomen HIPEC with mytomicin-C and cis-p...

One in 1000 cancers occur during pregnancy. Epithelial tumors of the appendix occur in approximately 1% of all colorectal tumors, and the occurrence of this neoplasm during pregnancy is extremely rare. We report an unusual case of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) in a 41-year-old full-term pregnant woman. Cesarean section was carried out, and the abdomen was found to contain an appendiceal mucinous...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is rare being characterized by intraperitoneal accumulation of mucinous ascites produced by neoplastic cells, mostly originating from a perforated appendiceal adenoma. The clinical signs of the disease are variable, and preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. We describe the clinical case of a 67-year-old patient referred to our unit one month after a left inguin...

Background Social isolation, loneliness and stigma are some of the most detrimental psychosocial effects living with dementia, including Lewy Body Disease (LBD). Peer-to-peer support between newly diagnosed people LBD more experienced has potential to reap extremely positive for both parties, their care partners (CP). This presentation will discuss a protocol developments project co-develop pee...

We show that epd (gapB) mutants lacking an erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P) dehydrogenase are impaired for growth on some media and contain less pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) than their epd+ parent. In contrast to a previous report, we found that gapA epd double mutants lacking the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and E4P dehydrogenases are auxotrophic for pyridoxine. Th...

Photogeneration of singlet oxygen (1O2) by rose bengal is improved through the use of a porous monolithic polymer (PMP) as a support, as compared to a classic gel-type resin matrix. This type of monolithic polymeric matrix can be made at a multigram scale in quantitative yields enabling the preparation of large amounts of supported photosensitizer at low cost. The singlet oxygen induced oxidati...

The case of a 31-year-old woman with progressive cerebellar degeneration preceding by several months the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer initially and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) with evidence of causative association with the latter is presented. Despite various chemotherapeutic and surgical manipulations, the patient did not substantially improve and succumbed 20 months following in...

At July 2008, the nationwide DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) has got started. As DMB device's volume of sales has been over 12 million already, the development of rapidly changing network systems has increased the dangers of infringing the copyright of DMB contents. For solving this problem, we suggest that real-time encryption algorithm without additional expenses, and implemented that o...

Based on the work from the IEEE Working Group 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN Working Group, the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) technology is defined by the WiMAX Forum to support fixed and mobile broadband wireless access. In the standard (IEEE 802.16 standard, 2009), it defines several air interface variants, including WirelessMAN-SC, WirelessMAN-OFDM, WirelessMAN-OFDMA and ...
