TOXOCARA Study is a prospective observational cohort study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of ocular toxocariasis (OT) associated with pulmonary toxocariasis (PT) in patients with chest diagnostic image tests (chest X-ray, chest CT) with migrating ground glass opacity or nodular lesions. Also a cohort study is to track the results of treatment for diagnosed ocular toxocariasis (OT) patients.

Major hepatectomy in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) and post-chemotherapy liver atrophy is associated with increased complications. Whether the performance of parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) in those patients can be safer is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical impact of post-chemotherapy liver atrophy on patients undergoing PSH for CLM. For this purpose, the occurrence of liver atrophy was recorded and then computed against the occurrence of postoperative morbidity and mortality.
