Endovascular management of delayed upper gastrointestinal bleeding after open esophagectomy for a benign oesophageal stricture
(2021)Introduction: Delayed upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a rare complication of esophagectomy and can be difficult to manage. Presentation: A 76-year-old female represented 17 days post open esophagectomy ... -
Eosinophilic ascites with marked peripheral eosinophilia: a diagnostic challenge.
(2014)Eosinophilic disease of the gastrointestinal tract is rare and is characterized by the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms in association with eosinophilic infiltration of any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical ... -
Excess visceral adiposity induces alterations in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism in esophageal adenocarcinoma.
(2014)Background: Visceral obesity has a strong association with both the incidence and mortality of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Alterations in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism is an emerging hallmark of cancer, ... -

Exercise-Based Dysphagia Rehabilitation for Adults with Oesophageal Cancer: a Systematic Review
(2022)Background: Dysphagia is prevalent in oesophageal cancer with significant clinical and psychosocial complications. The purpose of this study was i) to examine the impact of exercise-based dysphagia rehabilitation on clinical ... -
Expression of neuroepithelial transforming gene 1 is enhanced in oesophageal cancer and mediates an invasive tumour cell phenotype.
(2013)Introduction Neuroepithelial Transforming Gene 1 (NET1) is a well characterised oncoprotein and a proven marker of an aggressive phenotype in a number of cancers, including gastric adenocarcinoma. We aimed to investigate ... -
Extended pancreatectomy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: definition and consensus of the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS)
(2014)Background: Complete macroscopic tumor resection is one of the most relevant predictors of long-term survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Because locally advanced pancreatic tumors can involve adjacent organs, ... -
General Practice Referral Letters 'Tell me what you want'
(2007)Background: Good quality referral letters are an essential part of good clinical care and act as the interface between healthcare professionals in Primary and Secondary care. The letters should have enough information to ... -
Golgi phosphoprotein 2 (GOLPH2) is a novel bile acid-responsive modulator of oesophageal cell migration and invasion
(2015)Background: The aetiology of Barrett’s oesophagus (BO) and oesophageal cancer is poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that Golgi structure and function is altered in oesophageal cancer cells. A Golgi-associated ... -
Gone in 60 days: our first experience with a bioconvertible IVC filter
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)The Sentry bioconvertible IVC filter (Boston Scientific, MA, USA) contains a bioabsorbable filament which hydrolyses after 60 days, allowing the arms of the filter to spring open, retract into the vessel wall and endothelialise, ... -
Heat shock protein derived from a non-autologous tumour can be used as an anti-tumour vaccine.
(2003)Antigenic cross-reactivity between certain tumours has allowed the development of more widely applicable, major histocompatibility complex-disparate (allogeneic) whole-cell vaccines. This principle should also allow heat ... -
Heritability of subcortical volumetric traits in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
(2013)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to 1) determine if subcortical volume deficits are common to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) patients and their unaffected siblings 2) assess the suitability of subcortical volumetric traits ...
