Methods: We retrospectively identified 371 patients who underwent TIVAP implantation in the upper arm or chest between July 2018 and June 2019. Implantation via the upper arm (arm port) or the jugular vein (chest port) was performed under sonographic and fluoroscopic guidance after administering local anesthesia. Medical records were reviewed to determine technical success, complications, and the causes of port removal were analyzed. Results: In total, 371 devices were implanted, 252 in the upper arm (n = 252) and 119 in the upper chest wall (n = 119). The technical success rate was 100%. There were fewer complications observed in the arm port group compared to the chest port group (13 vs 23 patients; 5.2% vs 19.3%), which was statistically significant (P = 0.002). The chest port group developed more complications per 1000 catheter days and had a higher total complication rate than the arm port group (P < 0.001). Local infection with abscess and wound dehiscence were the most common cause of port removal. Multivariate analysis showed that the implantable port in the arm involved a less complicated procedure (P = 0.002). Conclusion: Implantation of TIVAPs in the upper arm is a safe and feasible procedure with a low rate of complications. TIVAPs in the upper arm may be a good alternative to TIVAPs in the chest.","PeriodicalId":33937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48348851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sought to evaluate the value of axillary ultrasonography in the nodal staging of breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastases. Methods: From a retrospective database, we reviewed the electronic medical records of breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastases who underwent curative surgery between 2003 and 2020. We collected the relevant clinicopathological data and ultrasonographic images. We performed a binary logistic regression analysis to evaluate the factors associated with a high nodal stage. Results: A total of 563 patients were included. Total mastectomy, larger tumor size, abnormal axillary ultrasonography, high histologic grade, lymphatic invasion, hormonal receptor negativity, and HER2 receptor positivity were associated with a pN2 or higher nodal stage. A receiver-operator curve analysis revealed that two or more abnormal lymph nodes seen on axillary ultrasonography identified a high nodal stage with a sensitivity of 62.2% and a spe-cificity of 85.3%. Multivariate analysis revealed that patient age less than 50, lymphatic invasion, two or more abnormal lymph nodes, and hilar effacement were independent predictive factors for the high nodal stage. Conclusion: In patients with two or more abnormal lymph nodes on axillary ultrasonography, upfront axillary lymph node dissection or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is preferred. Our findings highlight the importance of axillary ultrasonography in the nodal staging of breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":33937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Ultrasound","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41739955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 125 patients with defaecation disorders, such as constipation and faecal incontinence, were included. The preoperative questionnaire included the Cleveland Clinic Constipation Scoring System (CCCS, Wexner constipation score), Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (CCIS, Wexner incontinence score), faecal incontinence severity index (FISI), and faecal incontinence quality of life (FIQOL) scale. The size of the rectocele was measured on the trans-perineal 2D images.

Several tests objectively measure the degree of tissue perfusion: for example, ankle-brachial index, toe pressure, ultrasound, transcutaneous oxygen pressure, two-dimensional perfusion angiography, indocyanine green angiography, diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging, and laser doppler skin perfusion pressure.
