Resection of liver metastasis is potentially curative in patients with colorectal cancer bearing liver metastasis. However, early recurrence occurs in up to 30% in 3 months after liver resection. To optimize patient selection, the investigators propose to evaluate the the value of incorporating circulating tumor cells enumeration to clinical factors in a prospective study

The aim of this work is to create a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of the human posterior membranous labyrinth, based on in vivo inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This model has a pedagogical interest, and can serve as a basis for reflection in cases of atypical benign paroxysmal positional vertigos. It can also serve for mechanical studies of vestibular physiology.

This study is conducted to collect the symptoms of lung cancer patients and to observe the relationship with proteomics.

The observational study will check if there is a difference in the postoperative care of patients with urogenital intervention while using the standard PCA-syringe pump or using the Zalviso sufentanyl sublingual analgetic system. The study will exactly examine, using questionaire for the patient, the medical stuff (nurses and anesthesiologist) the difference in the analgetic quality, the difference of the patients' mobility while being treated with one of the analgetic system and if there is a difference in the cost-efficiency. We want to examine 50 Patients in each group. The studies should be finished in about one year.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a global disease with significant morbidity and mortality of young women. Its' etiology, epidemiology and treatment is not yet well described. This will be a retrospective, national, multicenter observational study, conducted in Turkey. It is expected that approximately 50 women with PPCM will be recorded.

Right colon has complicated anatomy which is surrounded by important organs. The variations of vessels are more frequent than in left colon, which contribute to the difficulty of surgery. Among the variations, Henle's trunk is more obvious that makes it the commonest cause of bleeding during operation. Several veins can be found to conjoin the Henle's trunk, among which ASPDV and REGV are the two common tributaries while RCV,MCV,SRCV may vary from people to people. As a result, a better understanding of the anatomical classification of Henle's trunk is a must during operation. However, existing studies of Henle's trunk are very rare and often single-centered with minimal samples.In order to achieve better surgical outcome and reduce operative complications, the investigators design this study to investigate the anatomical classification of Henle's trunk and the surgical outcome of each type.

Neonatal sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group . It is one of the leading causes of death in the first 28 days of life both in the developed and developing countries.

A nationwide observational study. Children operated with single-ventricle palliation between January 1994 and December 2017 operated in Sweden will be included retrospectively. Patients born with a functionally single ventricle but not undergoing surgery will not be included. Data regarding preoperative clinical characteristics and operative details will be obtained by medical records review and from The Swedish Registry of Congenital Heart Disease (SWEDCON). Using unique personal identity numbers assigned to all residents of Sweden, data from SWEDCON will be linked with dates of death.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in children.In China,this procedure is mainly performed under two different anesthesia methods：sedation and general anesthesia(GA) . Which is better ? there are still a lot of controversies . Several early retrospective studies suggest that, in addition to the possible increase in costs, general anesthesia in intraoperative complications, postoperative recovery and other aspects did not bring significant improvement. But clinically we observed that children under sedation often can not cooperate, they often shows anxiety,restless,crying,and so on, under these situation, some restraint measures may be used, which may have an impact on the child's neuropsychological development. Therefore ,we design this study ,aiming to compare the influence between sedation and general anesthesia (GA) on children 's neuropsychological development.
