Supraclavicular lymph node metastases are rare. A few case reports describe supraclavicular lymph node metastases as the first clinical manifestation of colon cancer. The authors present the case report of a 41-year-old female patient with a conglomerate of lymph nodes in the left supraclavicular...

Barata, J D; Bruges, M; Oliveira, C; Simões, J; Bruges, L; Melo, J Q; Melo-Gomes, R; Crespo, FWe studied the pre operative status and the 1st, 4th, 12th and 24th hours of the post operative period after open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass with a crystalloid solution containing 10 gr of mannitol. We considered acute renal failure (ARF) as being any increase in plasma creatinine values of 0.25 mg/dl for the first 24 hours and 0.5 mg/dl for periods longer than 24 hours. Six patients had transito...
Hemostatic changes associated with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu Epo) t...

Several investigators have reported that rHu Epo, used in the treatment of CRF anaemia, is able to activate a broad spectrum of hematopoietic stem cells, and therefore is able to increase the number of platelets and to induce correction of platelet disfunction. In order to investigate hem...
