• Recurrent Abdominal Pain

  But we've all seen many patients who come to the ED for recurrent abdominal pain, some of whom carry known diagnoses, some of whom have repeatedly defied diagnosis. [content.time.com]

• Chronic Abdominal Pain

  Certainly for patients who have had chronic abdominal pain, seeing three CTs documented on the radiology system over the past year or so, we may rethink ordering that fourth CT, particularly if all other testing is normal. Dr. [content.time.com]

• Lymphopenia

  Treatment-related grade 3 and 4 toxicities included lymphopenia (68%), anemia (9%), thrombocytopenia (14%), neutropenia (4%), leukopenia (9%), ascites (4%), vomiting (4%), and dyspnea (4%). No objective responses were observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Creatinine Increased

  Mean serum creatinine increased from 0.86 0.18 mg/dL at baseline to 1.12 0.27 mg/dL at 12-24 months (p 0.001), then stabilized. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, a known complication of whole abdominal radiation and certain chemotherapy regimens, was confirmed by liver biopsy in both cases. CA-125 levels may not be reflective of disease status in this setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CT treatment planning studies were obtained with the entire peritoneum identified as the target volume. Simulator designed blocks were projected over the CT scans throughout the treatment volume. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
