Abstract:
Although port site implants have been described after laparoscopic resection for gastrointestinal malignancies, drain site metastasis in solid intra-abdominal tumor after open resection is a rare phenomenon. Only few cases have been reported in literature describing drain site metastasis after open resection for carcinoma in the colon, stomach, cervix etc. Isolated drain site metastasis is even rare. To our knowledge, drain site recurrence after laparotomy for ileal cancer has not been published. We report a 50-year-old gentleman who had undergone laparotomy and ileal resection for distal ileal adenocarcinoma presented with an isolated drain site metastasis after 1 year of completion of chemotherapy.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
