Disease relevance of Groin

• RESULTS: The resected specimen showed an estrogen receptor-positive diffuse infiltrating lobular breast cancer of the vulva with metastases in both groins [1].
• Experiments involved the implanting of human MCF-7 breast cancer cell xenografts into the groins of rats and measurements were made of cancer cell growth rates, the uptake of linoleic acid (LA), and MLT levels [2].
• RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the postoperative pain experience between groins infiltrated with bupivacaine and those not infiltrated [3].
• A 9.8-year-old girl with growth hormone (GH) deficiency and concomitant chronic and localized psoriasis of the groins and axillae showed repeated and sudden relapse of eruptive psoriasis after GH treatment [4].

High impact information on Groin

• Often the epidemic strain (type K16) was found not only in the patients' faeces but also on more remote skin sites such as hands, knees, groins, and the umbilicus [5].
• While on prednisone, he developed marked vascular proliferation in the groins [6].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1994 and 2003 DSNB was performed in 129 patients with T2 or T3 penile SCC who had 243 clinically node negative groins [7].
• Sentinel node identification in the groin was hampered by the effects of prior excisional biopsy vs punch biopsy (11 of 25 vs 8 of 51, P = 0.007) and by the lateral vs midline location of the tumor (22 of 25 groins vs 35 of 51 groins, P = 0.067) [8].
• To learn more about the basic growth characteristics with this model, the same AV shunt loop within a chamber without added extracellular matrix was inserted subcutaneously into the groins of rats for 2, 4, or 12 weeks (n = 5 per group) [9].

Anatomical context of Groin

• Post-operative irradiation was given with cobalt-60 beam or 10 MV photons from a linear accelerator from anterior fields including the vulva and groins, with the intention of delivering 40-52 Gy with 2-4 Gy/day at a depth of 0.5 cm or 2 cm [10].
• Concentrations of cephradine were measured in serum, subcutaneous fat from the groins of 10 patients underdoing arterial reconstruction and in the subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle of 10 legs amputated for severe arterial ischaemia [11].
• In bilateral GPRVS, the peritoneum of both groins is reinforced with a single prosthesis inserted in the preperitoneal space through the midline [12].

Associations of Groin with chemical compounds

• OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that oral ciprofloxacin is equally effective as intravenous cefuroxime in preventing postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing peripheral arterial surgery involving the groins [13].
• In this study, we were able to produce a vascularized bone graft with a predetermined size and shape by the use of titanium chambers implanted into the groins of rabbits [14].
• RESULTS: Oxygen saturation in the skin of the operated groins was increased significantly from baseline at 2 days postop (f = 25.80, p < 0.001) and had begun to return to normal by day 7 [15].
• MATERIALS: 580 patients undergoing arterial surgery involving the groins were randomised to ciprofloxacin (Ciproxin, Bayer) 750 mg x 2 p.o. or cefuroxime (Zinacef, Glaxo) 1.5 g x 3 i.v. given only on the day of surgery [13].
• She had been on steroid therapy for two years and became Cushingoid with striae in the arm pits, groins and abdomen [16].

Gene context of Groin

• A 29-year-old woman with known systemic lupus erythematosus presented with exudative and vegetative plaques bilaterally on her groins [17].
