Understanding frailty:meanings and beliefs about screening and prevention across key stakeholder groups in Europe

2018

Innovative methods to manage frailty are critical to managing the needs of an ageing population. Evidence suggests there are opportunities to reverse or prevent frailty through early intervention. However, little is known about older adults’, families’ and practitioners’ beliefs about the malleability of frailty. This study examined European stakeholders’ accounts of the acceptability and feasibility of frailty screening and prevention to inform future intervention development. Semi-structured focus groups and individual interviews were conducted in three European Union countries (Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom) with key stakeholders – frail and non-frail older adults, family care-giv…

Diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis in children: blinded, comparative study of magnetic resonance versus endoscopic cholangiography.

2013

Summary Background Magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) has been validated as comparable to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) for the diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis (SC) in adult patients. In children, MRC is widely used based mainly on non-comparative studies. Patients and methods ERCs and MRCs of seven children (median age 9, range: 7–20 years) with SC and 17 controls (median age 6, range: 2 months–20 years) with other chronic liver diseases were reviewed in a blinded, random and independent way. All patients underwent both examinations within a 6-months slot. All ERCs and 17 MRCs were performed under general anesthesia. One radiologist evaluated both ERCs and MRCs and …

LAPAROSCOPIC LEFT LIVER SECTIONECTOMY (LLLS) FOR PEDIATRIC LIVING RELATED LIVER TRANSPLANTATION (LRLT)

2011

PURPOSE: LRLT in children is a method to provide organs for transplantation. We report 2 cases of LLLS for pediatric LRLT. METHOD: Donor position: lithotomy with surgeon in French position. Trocars: three 12 mm, placed 2 cm upper the supra-umbilical mid-line and sub-costal bi-lateral on the nipple lines; one 5 mm in epigastrium. Special instrumentation: harmonic scissor, ligasure®, Hem-O-Lock clips, and Endo Catch-II® bag. Main steps: division of round, falciform, left triangular ligaments and of lesser omentum; inspection of anatomy; hepatic hilum dissection with exposure of the left hepatic artery; dissection of the right side of the falciform ligament with exposure of the left branch of …
