Women are underrepresented in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. We investigated whether this is a pipeline problem by looking at the percentage of women trainees presenting at Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA) and then determining their ultimate career path.

We extracted gender, level of training, and career path of first authors of abstracts presented at the 2007 and 2012 AHPBA conferences. Chi-square analysis and Fisher's exact test were used to examine gender trends.

85 authors in 2007 and 109 in 2012 met inclusion criteria. 16.5% of presenters were female in 2007 compared to 22.9% in 2012. Just over 50% of authors went into academic medicine in 2007 (55%) and 2012 (59%) which did not differ by gender (p=0.868 in 2007, p=0.174 in 2012). Selleck SEL120-34A 41.2% of first authors from 2007 to 2012 went into an HPB related field which did not differ significantly by gender (p=0.450 for 2007, p=0.626 for 2012).

Similar percentages of men and women who present at AHPBA ultimately obtain an HPB related job, however, more men than women trainees present at AHPBA. More efforts to encourage women to go into HPB surgery early may help eliminate this gender gap.

Traditional medicine adequately emphasis plant resources for addressing a wide variety of human ailments by utilizing the naturally occurring phytoconstituents; in particular medicinal plants or parts of plants in combination have prodigious antioxidant potentials.

The present study aims to analyze methanolic extract of W.somnifera (W) individually, and in dual combination with five Rasayana herbs P.emblica - (WP), B.monnieri - (WB), T.sinensis - (WT), O.basilicum - (WO), A.racemosus - (WA) in three dual ratios [41, 11, and 14]. The efficacy of the combinations is assessed based on their chemometric profiling.

A total of 15 dual combinatorial methanolic extracts together with W.somnifera were evaluated for their preliminary phytochemical profiles, antioxidant potentials using DPPH and FRAP assays. Five dual samples were selected and analyzed for High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) image-based chemometric profiling followed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA)-Heatmaps.

Qualitative phytochemical analysis of combinatorial extracts exhibited a richness for a variety of phytoconstituents. The antioxidant activity was significantly higher for DPPH IC

(μg/mL) W=11.56±3.69; WP/14=7.89±1.52; WO/14=8.995±2.64 and FRAP (μM FeE/g) W=4.56±0.54; WP/14=138.34±9.25; WO/14=15.32±1.64. Chemometric data acquisition displayed improved secondary metabolite close cluster combination with WO/14 and WP/14 than W.somnifera (W) alone.

The dual herbal combinatorial study revealed that the methanolic combinatorial extracts phytoconstituents correlated with an increase in the antioxidant potential and would serve as a promising source for phytomedicine.

Exercise echocardiography (ExE) may assess left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, LV outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, and mitral regurgitation (MR). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of these assessments during exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

LV systolic function, LV-derived filling pressures, LVOT gradients, and MR were prospectively evaluated during treadmill ExE in 285 patients with HCM and preserved LV ejection fraction (EF) (≥50%). Recordings were obtained at rest and peak exercise for LV systolic function and at rest and post-exercise for LVOT gradients, MR, and ratio of early LV inflow velocity to early tissue Doppler annulus velocity (E/e´).

Thirty-seven patients (13%) had LVOT obstruction at rest, and 76 (27%) developed exercise-induced LVOT obstruction. New wall motion abnormalities were detected in 38 patients (13%). E/e´>14 was observed in 129 patients at rest (45%) and in 134 at post-exercise (47%). Corresponding figures for significant MR (moderate or severe) were 21 (7%) and 17 (6%). During follow-up (3.9±2.5 years), 27 patients had a hard event, 39 a combined event (hard plus new atrial fibrillation or syncope), and 58 a combined event or intervention. Exercise electrocardiographic testing, exercise LVEF, and the combination of positive ExE and increased E/e´ with exercise predicted outcome. The worst event rate corresponded to patients with raised E/e' values at post-exercise and positive ExE (annualized hard event-rate of 5.9%).

A comprehensive assessment during ExE is feasible for patients with HCM and preserved LV systolic function, and provides significant incremental prognostic information.

To compare the operation complexity and prognosis of completely laparoscopic versus open radical nephrectomy and infrahepatic tumor thrombectomy.

We reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of 87 patients with infrahepatic tumor thrombus from January 2015 to April 2019 retrospectively. Completely laparoscopic infrahepatic tumor thrombectomy was completed in 41 cases, and open surgery was completed in 46 cases.

All 41 patients successfully completed laparoscopic operation, and there were no cases of death during the operation. The completely laparoscopic group were older, had smaller renal tumor diameter, shorter median operation time, lower median intraoperative hemorrhage volume, and lower median transfusion volume of suspended red blood cells compared with open surgeries. The proportion of low-level tumor thrombus (Mayo I) in the completely laparoscopic group was higher (63.4%), while the proportion of low-level tumor thrombus in the open surgery group was lower (30.4%) (P=0.002). The postoperative complications incidence of laparoscopic surgery was 19.
