Principles of Interpolating Prognostication in Oncology
Abstract: AbstractThe precise prediction in oncology plays a critical role in prevention, treatment, assessment of the effectiveness of methods of treatment and treatment outcomes for cancer patients. Some medical researches claim that statistical processing (factor analysis) permits to precisely individualize the prognosis, which determines the possibility of an individual approach to monitoring and postoperative treatment of patients. However, factor analysis permits only creating a matrix of factors that can significantly describe …

Early Postoperative Outcome of Primary Closure versus T-Tube Drainage of Common Bile Duct after Open Choledocholithotomy
Abstract: Background: Choledocholithiasis is the formation of stones in the common bile duct (CBD). These stones are removed by performing CBD exploration and the closure can be done over T-tube or primarily without T-tube. The method of T-tube drainage comes with many complications and hence, nowadays, there is tendency to close CBD primarily to avoid the tube-related complications. Aims: To compare the early postoperative outcome of primary closure versus T-tube drainage …
