8,396 | 2,120 | Nonendoscopic percutaneous gastrostomy.
Tight peritoneal adherence of the stomach to the abdominal wall as a prerequisite of percutaneous gastrostomy can be achieved by a newly developed cannula.
It serves for puncture and fixation of the gastric wall.
Thus, percutaneous gastrostomy can be established safely even in... | C04 |
8,397 | 2,819 | Lung lobe torsion following lobectomy.
Three cases of postoperative pulmonary lobe torsion were reported.
Two of three showed hemorrhagic infarctions, and as a result underwent rethoracotomies and removal of the affected lobes.
From these experiences, we consider that computed tomography (CT) and bronchofiberscopic ... | C04 |
8,398 | 862 | Pigmented Bowen's disease arising from pigmented seborrheic keratoses.
We report three cases of pigmented Bowen's disease that clinically and histologically had features of seborrheic keratoses.
We speculate about the mechanism of pigmentation in these lesions and suggest that they arise from pigmented seborrheic ker... | C04 |
