Validarea chestionarului ABC-V (Assessment of Burden in Chronic – Venous disease) tradus în limba românã

Department of General Surgery, State University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Nicolae Testemitanu”, Chisinau, Republic of MoldovaObiectivul studiului a fost evaluarea psihometrică a versiunii traduse în limba română a chestionarului ABC-V (Assessment of Burden in Chronic – Venous Disease) la pacienții cu boala varicoasă necomplicată a extremităților inferioare. Toate componentele chestionarului au fost traduse din versiunea engleză în limba română și ulterior invers, apoi discutate, adaptate și pre-testate. Evaluarea versiunii finale a chestionarului tradus a demonstrat rezultate acceptabile: întrebări ratate în 3% din chestionare, lipsa efectului “de plafon” (ceiling-effect) și un floor-efect redus, o bună fiabilitate split-half (rs = 0,61, p < 0,01) și corelație semnificativă între scorurile de testare și re-testare (rs = 0,86, p < 0,01). Scorurile medii ABC-V nu au fost influențate semnificativ de vârsta și genul pacienților. Rezultatele studiului susțin aplicarea chestionarului ABC-V pentru evaluarea severității patologiei venoase cronice precum și pentru analiza cantitativă a satisfacției pacienților și ameliorării sănătății după tratamentul bolii varicoase la populaåia vorbitoare de limbă română. The objective of this study was a psychometric evaluation of the Romanian translated version of ABC-V (Assessment of Burden in Chronic – Venous Disease) questionnaire in patients with uncomplicated varicose disease of lower limbs. All components of the questionnaire were translated from the English version into the Romanian language and after that backwards, discussed, adopted and pre-tested. Evaluation of the final version of the translated questionnaire demonstrated acceptable results: missed questions in 3% of forms, no ceiling effect and low floor effect, good split-half reliability (rs = 0.61, p < 0.01) and significant correlation between test and re-test scores (rs = 0.86, p < 0.01). There was no significant influence of age and sex upon average ABC-V scores. Study results support the application of ABC-V questionnaire for assessing the severity of chronic venous disease as well as for quantitative evaluation of patient satisfaction and health status improvement after varicose vein treatment in the Romanian-speaking population

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with sarcoma-like mural nodule: A case report and review of the literature

Primary retroperitoneal cystadenomas are extremely rare. This is the first report in literature to describe a primary retroperitoneal cystadenoma with a sarcoma-like mural nodule. A 45-year-old woman complained of a left-sided abdominal mass. A computed tomography scan revealed a cystic mass with a mural nodule, which seemed to originate from the tail of the pancreas. At laparotomy the cyst was not adhered to the pancreas but localized retroperitoneally. Histologic examination showed a mucinous cystadenoma with only foci of borderline malignancy with a mural “sarcoma-like” nodule. In view of the surgical and histopathological findings, the mucinous cystadenoma was regarded as primary retroperitoneal. This case demonstrates that in the era of radiological preoperative refinement, pathological diagnosis remains of utmost importance, especially for rare cases

Primary liposarcoma of the ascending colon: a rare case of mixed type presenting as hemoperitoneum combined with other type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Liposarcoma occurs most commonly in the extremities and retroperitoneum, however, it has been rarely observed in the colon.</p> <p>Case Presentation</p> <p>A case is reported a 41-year-old man with liposarcoma of ascending colon which was presented as hemoperitoneum and combined with a different histological type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. He visited hospital with right lower abdominal pain and palpable mass. Laboratory data including tumor markers were within normal limits, and computed tomography revealed a 15 × 10 cm sized enhancing soft mass. Right hemicolectomy was performed, and after that, a further large retroperitoneal mass was revealed and this was also radically excised. Mixed-type colon liposarcoma and well differentiated type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma were diagnosed in pathologic report. The patient has remained free of disease for 24 months.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>No standardized guidelines have been established for its treatment because too small a number of cases have been reported, but surgical resection was considered the treatment of choice.</p
