Optimal Iron Replacement for Colorectal Cancer-Induced Anaemia Roderick J
The Open Colorectal Cancer Journal, 2010, 3, 27-31 27 Open Access Optimal Iron Replacement for Colorectal Cancer-Induced Anaemia Roderick J. Alexander*, Alison Alexander, Sue Surgenor, Elizabeth J. Williams and Guy F. Nash Poole General Hospital, Longfleet Rd, Poole, Dorset BH15 2JB, UK Abstract: Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is commonly a result of colorectal cancer. Higher preoperative haemoglobin (Hb) is associated with an improved post-operative survival. The endpoint of normalising patients Hb is to reduce the need for perioperative blood transfusion which has oncological, safety and economic benefits. Methods: This study aims to compare the overall effect and cost between oral iron and two forms of parenteral iron, in raising the Hb of 53 consecutive colorectal cancer patients with IDA. The pre- and post-treatment Hb were measuring over time for oral and two formulations of parenteral iron (CosmoFer® and Venofer®), as were the need for supplemental pre-operative blood transfusions. The Total Hb rise and Hb rise/day were calculated as was the overall cost (including blood transfusions) in each of the three iron supplementation groups. Results: Both total Hb rise and Hb rise/day were significantly higher in the Venofer® (p=0.048, p=0.002) and CosmoFer® groups (p=0.034 & p=0.001) over oral iron. The oral iron group required significantly more blood than the Venofer® (p=0.04) and CosmoFer® groups (p=0.01). Although there was a trend for oral iron to cost more than parenteral, this did not reach significance. Conclusions: This study suggests that the end point of transfusion reduction is possible by the increased Hb rise rate of Venofer® or CosmoFer®.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis
Manigrasso et al. World Journal of Surgical Oncology (2019) 17:195 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12957-019-1739-9 RESEARCH Open Access Incidence and risk factors of portomesenteric venous thrombosis after colorectal surgery for cancer in the elderly population Michele Manigrasso1, Marco Milone1,2*, Nunzio Velotti3, Sara Vertaldi1, Pietro Schettino1, Mario Musella3, Giovanni Aprea1, Nicola Gennarelli1, Francesco Maione1, Giovanni Sarnelli1, Pietro Venetucci3, Giovanni Domenico De Palma1 and Francesco Milone3 Abstract Background: Although it is known that portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT) is associated with total colectomy and proctocolectomy in young patients with inflammatory bowel disease, little is known about incidence and risk factors of PMVT among the elderly population undergoing colorectal surgery for cancer. Methods: Data of elderly patients (> 70 years) undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer were retrospectively registered. The occurrence of PMVT was correlated with the patients’ characteristics and operative variables. Data collected included age, sex, obesity, ASA score, tumor degree, type of surgical resection, surgical approach (laparoscopic or open), and duration of surgery (from skin incision to the application of dressings). Results: A total of 137 patients > 70 years who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer and developed an acute intraabdominal process with suggestive symptoms, needing a CT scan, were included. Three of these patients (2.1%) had portomesenteric venous thrombosis during the study period, which was proved with CT scan. There were no significant patients’ characteristics or operative variables between patients with or without the occurrence of PMVT after surgery. Of interest, only operative time was significantly higher in patients with PMVT after surgery (256 ± 40 vs 140 ± 41, p < 0.001).

I arrived March 5th 2008 and spent three months working on my bachelor thesis. It was my first experience with research and, definitely, ignited my interest in hepatology. Many events occurred since then but with no doubt, nothing would have happened if professor Bianchi had not been persuaded by my repeated plea to go abroad, and professor Vilstrup had not graciously accepted to host an Italian student at the Department V for a research project. The enthusiasm at the end of the three months was the reason for my return to Denmark in January 2010, looking for a research position. That was when I first met professor Henrik Toft Sørensen. I left our first meeting feeling that he might be the mentor I was looking for and I was right! His endless knowledge, meticulous attention to detail, and his ability to keep sight of the overall project, continuously stimulated me to improve my work and explain my research decisions.

A Nationwide Analysis of Postoperative Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in Colon and Rectal Surgery
A Nationwide Analysis of Postoperative Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in Colon and Rectal Surgery Zhobin Moghadamyeghaneh & Mark H. Hanna & Joseph C. Carmichael & Ninh T. Nguyen & Michael J. Stamos Abstract There are limited data regarding predictive factors of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing colorectal resection. We sought to identify associations between patient comorbidities and postoperative VTE in colorectal resection. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program(NSQIP) database was used to examine clinical data of patients experiencing postoperative VTE after colorectal resection from 2005 to 2011. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression was performed to quantify risk factors of VTE.We sampled 116,029 patients undergoing colorectal resection. The rate of VTE was 2 % (2,278) with 0.2 % (182) having deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The first week after operation was the most common time for postoperative VTE. A significant number of patients suffering DVT and PE were diagnosed after index hospital discharge (PE 34.6 %, DVT 29.3 %). The most important risk factors identified for DVT include (P<0.05) ASA score >2 (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.77) and hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin level <3.5 mg/dl) (AOR 1.69). The most important factors had associations with PE include (P<0.05) DVT (AOR 14.60) and disseminated cancer (AOR 1.70). Ulcerative colitis (AOR 1.48, P=0.01) and stage 4 cancer (AOR 1.29, P=0.02) have associations with DVT. Open colorectal procedures have higher risk of DVT compared to laparoscopic procedures (AOR 1.33, P<0.01). Postoperative VTE occurs in 2 % of colorectal resections.
