Summary
Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are standard treatments for peritoneal surface malignancy. Treatment indications in Singapore have expanded due to improved management experience.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) management has evolved.
- Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a key treatment modality for PSM.
- Treatment paradigms are continually refined based on clinical experience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolution of PSM treatment in Singapore.
- To highlight the expanded indications for CRS and HIPEC.
- To underscore the impact of accumulated experience on treatment strategies.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of treatment data.
- Review of clinical guidelines and outcomes.
- Case study review.
Main Results:
- CRS and HIPEC are established treatments for PSM.
- Indications for CRS and HIPEC in Singapore have broadened.
- Improved institutional experience correlates with expanded treatment options.
Conclusions:
- The management of PSM in Singapore has advanced significantly.
- Expanded indications for CRS and HIPEC reflect growing expertise.
- Continued experience will likely lead to further refinements in PSM treatment.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a medical process that removes waste products and excess fluid from the body using the peritoneal membrane as a natural filter.Peritoneal Dialysis MethodsSeveral methods can be used for peritoneal dialysis, including Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, and Automated Peritoneal Dialysis, also known as Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis.Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (AIPD) is used for patients with uremic...

2.9K
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a procedure that facilitates the exchange of solutes, waste products, electrolytes, and excess fluid between the blood in the peritoneal capillaries and a dialysis solution introduced into the peritoneal cavity.Principles of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)Diffusion: Waste products such as urea and electrolytes move from high concentrations in the blood to low concentrations in the dialysate across the peritoneal membrane. This mechanism is driven by the concentration...

01:16Surface Tension and Surface Energy
3.2K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...

Wood surfacing is a critical finishing process designed to smoothen the wood surface, enhance its dimensional accuracy, and make handling safer. This process compensates for potential shrinkage during the seasoning phase by marginally increasing the wood dimensions before surfacing. It also helps correct some distortions that may occur as the wood dries.
The equipment used in the surfacing process is a plane equipped with rotating blades. This tool efficiently smoothens the wood surface and can...

01:21Cell-surface Signaling
54.2K
Hormones—or any molecule that binds to a receptor, known as a ligand—that are lipid-insoluble (water-soluble) are not able to diffuse across the cell membrane. In order to be able to affect a cell without entering it, these hormones bind to receptors on the cell membrane. When a first messenger, a hormone, binds to a receptor, a signal cascade is set off, causing second messengers, proteins inside the cell, to become activated, resulting in downstream effects.
