Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not improve outcomes in patients with fistula-associated anal adenocarcinoma undergoing abdominoperineal resection
ObjectiveAbdominoperineal resection (APR) is currently established as a standard treatment regimen for fistula-associated Frosted Glass Cup anal adenocarcinoma (FAAA), however, the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains unclear.The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of CRT in patients with FAAA treated with APR through single-center exp
Strategic Implementation of the PDCA and 5S Concepts to Improve the Productivity of the Informal Welding Industry in Kumasi, Ghana
The informal welding industry is one of the major SMEs in Ghana.The industry is however confronted with a lot of challenges which, therefore, can be addressed by the use of Plan-do-check-act (PDCA) and 5S concepts.This study evaluated the benefits of the PDCA and 5S concepts as strategic tools for improving the Anti-Gas performance of the informal
Outcomes of endovascular treatment versus bypass surgery for critical limb ischemia in patients with thromboangiitis obliterans.
We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between endovascular treatment and inframalleolar bypass surgery for critical limb ischemia (CLI) in patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and to assess the role of bypass surgery in the era of innovative endovascular treatment.Between January 2007 and December 2017, a total of 33 consecutive patie
