Methods: observational, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of secondary sources of patients with GC in the period 1999-2009. We analyzed 75 medical records, with 34 patients studied. The information collected was used for the TNM tumor staging of GC and to characterize the clinical and surgical population. Results: 79% were female, mean age 66.2 ± 11 years and duration of symptoms was 10.8 ± 17.2 months, with no statistical relationship with the stage of disease. Pain in right upper quadrant, nausea and jaundice prevailed as signs / symptoms. Gallstones were present in 91% of cases and were positive in 100% of patients with stage I / II. The sensitivity of ultrasound to preoperatively suggest GC was 14.28%. The simplest operation performed was cholecystectomy, with the predominant intraoperative finding being hepatic invasion. Adenocarcinoma was the predominant histologic type, especially for stages III and IV. Conclusion: The present study showed high incidence of gallstone disease. Advanced stage adenocarcinoma was the most prevalent. This resulted in a low rate of operations with curative intent, in 30% of the patients, and a mortality rate of 21%. The appreciation of symptoms and early investigation by imaging could facilitate treatment in early stages of GC, providing a better prognosis for patients.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) As expedições da Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine e a Amazônia Brasileira(2011-06) MIRANDA, Aristóteles Guilliod de; ABREU JUNIOR, José Maria de CastroThis paper describe the early years of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and the expeditions to Brasilian Amazon, to the Cities of Belém and Manaus describing also what happened with the reserchers involved Herbert Durhan, Walter Myers and Harold Wolferstan Thomas.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A medicina no Estado do Pará, Brasil: dos primórdios à Faculdade de Medicina(2010-09) MIRANDA, Aristóteles Guilliod deThe practice of medicine, the organization of health services and the start of medical education in Pará State, Brazil, are presented from a chronological perspective, from the first accounts after the arrival of Francisco Caldeira Castelo Branco in 1616 to the establishment of the Faculdade de Medicina e Cirurgia do Pará (Pará School of Medicine and Surgery), in 1919.
