Abstract

Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that exert post-transcriptional effects on gene expression by binding with cis-regulatory regions in target messenger RNA (mRNA). Polymorphisms in genes encoding miRNAs or in miRNA–mRNA binding sites confer deleterious epigenetic effects on cancer risk. miR-146a has a role in inflammation and may have a role as a tumour suppressor. The polymorphism rs2910164 in the MIR146A gene encoding pre-miR-146a has been implicated in several inflammatory pathologies, including cancers of the breast and thyroid, although evidence for the associations has been conflicting in different populations. We aimed to further investigate the association of this variant with these two cancers in an Irish cohort. Methods: The study group comprised patients with breast cancer (BC), patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and unaffected controls. Germline DNA was extracted from blood or from saliva collected using the DNA Genotek Oragene 575 collection kit, using crystallisation precipitation, and genotyped using TaqMan-based PCR. Data were analysed using SPSS, v22. Results: The total study group included 1516 participants. This comprised 1386 Irish participants; 724 unaffected individuals (controls), 523 patients with breast cancer (BC), 136 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and three patients with dual primary breast and thyroid cancer. An additional cohort of 130 patients with DTC from the South of France was also genotyped for the variant. The variant was detected with a minor allele frequency (MAF) of 0.19 in controls, 0.22 in BC and 0.27 and 0.26 in DTC cases from Ireland and France, respectively. The variant was not significantly associated with BC (per allele odds ratio = 1.20 (0.98–1.46), P = 0.07), but was associated with DTC in Irish patients (per allele OR = 1.59 (1.18–2.14), P = 0.002). Conclusion: The rs2910164 variant in MIR146A is significantly associated with DTC, but is not significantly associated with BC in this cohort.

Abstract

Solitary adenomas have been shown to be responsible for almost 90% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of sestamibi scanning pre-operatively to guide minimally invasive video-assisted (MIVA) parathyroidectomy. We reviewed 40 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy between 2003 and 2004. All patients underwent a pre-operative sestamibi scan. Thirty-three (82%) patients had a localized solitary adenoma on sestamibi scan. Of these patients 29 underwent attempted MIVA parathyroidectomy. MIVA parathyroidectomy was successful in 22 patients. When pre-operative sestamibi scanning was correlated with pathological diagnosis it was shown to have a sensitivity of 82% and positive predictive value of 94%. Pre-operative sestamibi scan localization of a parathyroid adenoma offers a 94% positive predictive value for adenoma location. This facilitates MIVA parathyroidectomy to be used effectively to treat primary hyperparathyroidism in the majority of patients.

Abstract

Blunt trauma is an unusual cause of extrahepatic bile duct injury. This is a case of a 51-year-old gentleman who sustained a significant seatbelt injury in a plane crash. Laparotomy, performed due to persistent abdominal pain, revealed that the common bile duct (CBD) was completely avulsed from the duodenum. Following insertion of drains and transfer to a hepatobiliary centre, the devascularised CBD was excised and replaced with a roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy. Necrotic tissue was debrided from the pancreatic head. A persistent bile leak developed from the sub-hepatic drain. Repeat laparotomy revealed a bile leak from small ducts on the liver surface. Ligation of the ducts and bioglue sealing of the area were successfully performed. Subsequent to this a pancreatic fistula developed from the main pancreatic duct, which has since resolved. This unusual case illustrates the need for prompt recognition and early repair to optimise outcomes in traumatic CBD injury.

Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has rapidly become the treatment of choice for uncomplicated cholelithiasis. Its adoption has come in the absence of traditional randomized trials. This study compares analgesic requirements and pulmonary function in two randomized case controlled groups of patients, one group having the traditional laparotomy or ‘open’ cholecystectomy (n = 14) and the other laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n = 18). Pulmonary function tests (FEV1/FVC) and visual analogue scales were scored at 3, 6, and 24 h following surgery and narcotic requirements over this period were also logged. In the ‘open’ group, the mean narcotic requirement in the first 24 h was 133 mg papaveretum per patient (range 60–200), but was significantly (Student t-test P < 0.05) less in the laparoscopic group at 42 mg per patient (range 20–60). Visual analogue scores were also better: 3.6 versus 5.9 at 3h, 3.0 versus 6.6 at 6h and 1.1 versus 4.3 at 24 h. Overall results for pulmonary function in the laparoscopic group showed ...

Abstract

A review of thyroglossal duct remnants presenting to a regional centre in the West of Ireland was undertaken. Over a 15 yr period, 25 patients were operated on for duct remnants. The mean age was 19.6 yr and ranged from 3 to 68 yr. There were 16 (64 per cent) males and 9 (36 per cent) females. Seventeen (68 per cent) patients were less than 20 years at the time of surgery. Four patients presented with a sinus and the remainder with a cystic lesion. Two patients experienced recurrent disease. One patient, a 41 yr old female, had a papillary carcinoma of a thyroglossal cyst. There were no clinical features distinguishing this patient from those with benign cystic remnants of the thyroglossal duct. The possibility of carcinoma in older patients, in particular females, presenting with thyroglossal cysts emphasises the importance of performing a formal Sistrunk’s operation. It reduces the risk of recurrence of the cyst and may reduce the risk of recurrence of the tumour as the duct may provide a route for the spread of tumour.

Abstract

This study was established to review the spectrum of thyroid disease presenting to a regional centre in the West of Ireland. Over a ten year period 414 thyroidectomies were performed. The most common histological diagnosis was nodular goitre (238 patients). There were 134 thyroid neoplasms; 87 (65%) adenomas, 40 (30%) carcinomas and 7 (5%) lymphomas. A breakdown of the cancers revealed 17 (36%) papillary and 14 (30%) follicular carcinomas with 7 (15%) lymphomas. Six (13%) patients presented with anaplastic tumors. Solitary nodules had a high cancer risk (25%) in comparison with multinodular or diffuse goitres (5%). Thyroiditis accounted for 38 cases while only 10 thyroidectomies were performed for Graves' disease.

Abstract

Faecaliths have been widely implicated in the aetiology of acute appendicitis. According to Shaw, stones are formed in the appendix with greater frequency than in either the gall bladder or the urinary tract. In spite of this, faecaliths appear to cause few complications outside the appendix. We report an unusual complication resulting from an escaped appendiceal faecalith.

Abstract

PTA managed higher risk patients with lower morbidity where bypass surgery used to be deferred. The cost and economic implications of introducing PTA must be viewed according to the changing face of vascular surgery. We recommend trials using Quality Adjusted Life Year measurement to determine short and long term outcome.

Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma may give rise to infrequent and unusual patterns of organ damage requiring prompt and complete exploratory laparotomy if the full extent of injury is to be recognised. We present a case of avulsion of the common bile duct in association with duodenal rupture to illustrate the importance of this strategy.

Abstract

Male patients over 70 years with RAAA in hypovolaemic shock with low Hb have a higher 30 day mortality and few survive more than one year. Our study suggests that each of these four parameters separately was not a strong prognostic indicator. Collectively, however, they strongly influence the prognosis of patients with RAAA. These findings strengthen the case for selective treatment for RAAA.

Abstract

An experimental study of colorectal tumorigenesis in inbred rats given the potent carcinogen dimethylhydrazine has shown that protamine, given before any tumours had developed, significantly enhanced the development of large bowel tumours (100% incidence). Those animals having no adjuvant therapy or who received either heparin or 5-fluorouracil (alone or in combination) had an approximate 50% incidence of such tumours.

Abstract

Over the past decade fibre supplementation has achieved widespread acceptance in the management of symptomatic diverticular disease, although the efficacy of this treatment has been debated. We have conducted a retrospective review of 72 patients admitted to hospital with symptomatic diverticular disease over a ten year period in order to determine whether or not high fibre diet afforded protection against the development of complications, necessity for surgery or persistence of symptoms. Fifty-six patients were treated non-operatively, of these 43 received advice concerning a high fibre diet but only 31 patients complied. The 12 patients who failed to take additional fibre and the 13 patients who never received dietary advice (25 patients) formed the non high fibre group. Those treated with fibre supplementation fared significantly better in developing fewer complications and required less surgery (P less than 0.05). At the time of follow-up review patients on a high fibre diet reported significantly fewer symptoms (P less than 0.05).

Abstract

Lymph node imprint cytology was performed on 86 nodes from 13 consecutive patients with breast cancer undergoing simple mastectomy with axillary node sampling, and a prospective comparison with paraffin section was made. The results showed a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 0·93 and 0·98 respectively. The predictive value of a positive result was 0·98. This technique can be used to identify patients with Stage I disease rapidly, thereby allowing their exclusion from treatment with peri-operative chemotherapy.

Abstract

A review of twelve years surgical practice in a district in the North East of England is presented. During this period 63 562 surgical operations were undertaken. Analyses of these operations show that the amount of elective general surgery undertaken has almost doubled and the rate of emergency general surgery has remained remarkably constant. There has been a significant increase in the number of gallbladder, varicose vein and minor general surgical procedures performed. There has also been a significant increase in urological surgery and in orthopaedic surgery which has doubled over the study period.
