Image-guided percutaneous drainage vs. surgical repair of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks: is there a difference in hospital course or hospitalization cost?
Gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks managed by percutaneous drainage are associated with lower hospital cost and shorter hospital stays compared with surgical management.
COPD-related adenocarcinoma presents molecular and morphological features of lower aggressiveness (increased lepidic component, reduced solid pattern, lower cell proliferation and less frequent KRAS mutation) compared to smokers. Different molecular mechanisms could be associated with the development of COPD associated cancer.
