	PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMA
		Peritoneal mesothelioma is one of three types of a rare cancer related to asbestos exposure: peritoneal mesothelioma describes the type of cancer that occurs in the tissues lining the abdominal cavity.
		Most peritoneal mesothelioma patients are men in their 50s to 70s; woman make up less than one-fifth of all peritoneal mesothelioma cases.
		One of the major problems in diagnosing patients with this cancer is that the early symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma often resemble those of the flu, with stomach pains, and fever.

		The surgical wound is closed around the cylinder and the abdominal cavity remains open through the cylinder.The intestine floats in the perfusate and the surgeon's hand stirs the perfusate to secure even distribution (10).
		A recent multivariate analyses reveals that the diffuse type of gastric cancer is the major risk factor for peritoneal dissemination whereas the intestinal type of gastric cancer is the major risk factor for hematogenous recurrence (19).

		Peritoneal lavage cytology during diagnostic laparoscopy has also been demonstrated to be useful for identifying free cancer cells in the intraperitoneal cavity.

	Peritoneum Summary
		(The corresponding serous membranes in the pleural and pericardial cavities of the thorax are called the pleura and the pericardium respectively.) The peritoneum both supports the abdominal organs and serves as a conduit for their blood and lymph vessels and nerves.
		Pneumoperitoneum is the presence of gas within the peritoneal cavity, as may occur when a perforation forms in the stomach or intestines, and heralds a perilous situation.
		Peritonitis refers to inflammation of the peritoneal lining or cavity, as may occur with either a perforation or by spread of infection through the wall of one of the abdominal organs.

	The Kidney Foundation - Peritoneal Dialysis
		Peritoneal dialysis uses a filtration process similar to hemodialysis, but the blood is cleaned inside your body rather than in a machine.
		The inside of your abdomen is called the peritoneal cavity and it is lined with a thin membrane called the peritoneum.
		In peritoneal dialysis, this cavity is filled with dialysis fluid which enters the body through a permanently implanted catheter.

	Peritoneal dialysis, VM 552 SAM Urogenital System (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The semipermeable membrane in peritoneal dialysis is the parietal and visceral peritoneum.
		Whether or not a particle will leave the blood and cross the peritoneal membrane depends on the size of the particle, the size of the pores in the peritoneum, and the composition of the dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity.
		In large critical care facilities, peritoneal dialysis is often performed with a peritoneal dialysis cycler machine which rapidly instills and removes small volumes of dialysis solution several times an hour.

		Using a surgically-implanted catheter, a sterile dialysis solution is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and the peritoneum operates as the dialyzing membrane.
		Peritoneal dialysis is not difficult to learn but must be done exactly as taught in order to prevent an infection called peritonitis.
		The used solution (effluent) is first drained from the cavity and the new solution is instilled into the peritoneum by using a Y-set tubing and gravity (the new solution will be being on an IV pole) After instillation of the dianeal, the tubing is detached and the effluent is disposed of in the toilet.

	Peritoneal Mesothelioma
		Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that rapidly spreads within the confines of the abdominal cavity to involve most accessible peritoneal and omental surfaces.
		Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma who are not candidates for this approach can sometimes be palliated with systemic (intravenous) chemotherapy using doxorubicin or mitomycin, alone or in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin.
		Epithelial peritoneal mesothelioma is often described at laparotomy or laparoscopy as numerous small (1 to 5 mm), shiny, whitish nodules carpeting all visualized peritoneal surfaces, with the formation of larger (2 to 5 cm) nodular excrescences.

		A variation of peritoneal dialysis is called Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis where the peritoneal dialysis is done at night while the patient is sleeping.
		The nature of peritoneal dialysis does mean it can be performed in a variety of settings, including work environments All that is required is a well lit, and clean area.
		When peritoneal dialysis is first started there is intense involvement with the dialysis center but this tends to last only a few weeks.

		Initially, the major focus was on peritoneal infections; however, with the subsequent introduction of antibiotics, the focus of gynecological and nongynecological pathologists shifted to neoplastic and nonneoplastic peritoneal conditions.
		Peritoneal mesothelioma is a primary tumor of the mesothelial lining of the peritoneum.
		This tumor demonstrates extensive involvement of the peritoneal surfaces, with rapid multifocal growth and hematogenous metastasis to the liver, lungs, and lymph nodes.

	Peritoneal Mesothelioma - Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Staging
		Peritoneal mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the abdominal cavity, is less common than the pleural form, comprising approximately one-fifth to one-third of the total number of mesothelioma cases diagnosed.
		In a percentage of cases, peritoneal mesothelioma is found incidentally when the patient has sought help for another health problem such as gallbladder, hernia or pelvic mass.
		In the second category, the disease is contained within the abdominal cavity on peritoneal and organ surfaces where debulking (the removal of as much, but not all of the tumor) is possible.

		In peritoneal dialysis patients, a catheter is surgically implanted in the lower abdomen.
		In peritoneal dialysis, the patientâs own peritoneal membrane acts as a natural filter, which allows waste particles and fluid to pass through, but does not allow blood cells to pass through (since they are too large).
		PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CYCLE: The three stages it takes to do peritoneal dialysis are the "drain" stage (emptying out used dialysate) the "fill" stage (adding fresh dialysate) and the "dwell" stage (the amount of time the dialysate fluid is kept inside the abdomen).

	Global Dialysis: What is Dialysis
		In peritoneal dialysis, a special solution is run through a tube into the peritoneal cavity, the abdominal body cavity around the intestine.
		Prior to any peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is placed in the patient's abdomen, running from the peritoneum out to the surface, near the navel.
		The main consideration is the very high potential for infection with an open catheter; peritonitis is a common complication, as are infections of the catheter exit site or "tunnel" (path from the peritoneum to the exit site).
