Vergleich der lokalen Effektivität und des Metastasierungsverhaltens nach Resektion, Kryotherapie und Lasertherapie an einem colorectalen Tumormodell…
2003
A rat colon cancer cell line (CC531) was implanted into the livers of 85 WAG rats and in animals surviving the implantation the liver tumour was subsequently treated with sham laparotomy (n = 15), resection (n = 20), cryotherapy (n = 19) or laser therapy (n = 20). Local recurrence or persistence of the tumour in animals surviving the procedure was observed in 15 of 15 following sham laparotomy, in 0 of 15 following resection, in 3 of 17 following cryotherapy and in 10 of 14 following laser therapy. However, peritoneal disease and lung metastases were more frequent and extensive following resection as compared to cryotherapy or laser therapy.
Thoracoscopic Lung Biopsies and Resections in Children
2016
Pediatric surgeons are frequently faced with a variety of indications regarding the lung. Pulmonary lesions found on imaging studies may be congenital, malignant, infectious, or inflammatory in nature. Often, only a biopsy can make the diagnosis and guide subsequent management. In other cases, resection may be curative.
Maternal profile according to Mediterranean diet adherence and small for gestational age and preterm newborn outcomes
2020
AbstractObjective:The objective was to evaluate maternal Mediterranean diet (MD) pattern adherence during pregnancy and its association with small for gestational age (SGA) and preterm birth. A secondary objective of the current study was to describe the sociodemographic, lifestyle and obstetric profile of the mothers studied as well as the most relevant paternal and newborn characteristics.Design:The current study is a two-phase retrospective population-based study of maternal dietary habits during pregnancy and their effect on newborn size and prematurity. The descriptive first phase examined maternal dietary habits during pregnancy along with the maternal sociodemographic, lifestyle and …
Generic Health-Related Quality of Life May Not Be Associated with Weight Loss 4 Years After Bariatric Surgery: a Cross-Sectional Study
2018
Background: There seem to exist a belief that weight-loss is proportionally associated with improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after bariatric surgery. HRQoL is a complex multidimensional construct of one’s perception of health and well-being and is measured through generic and disease specific questionnaires. Objectives: This study aimed to test the associations between weight-loss after bariatric surgery, and both generic and obesity-specific HRQoL, and mental distress, controlling for other patient characteristics. Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Surgery at Haugesund Hospital (Norway) based on a cohort of bariatric surgery patients operated betwee…
The impact of occult renal failure on the cardiovascular risk stratification in an elderly population: the PREV-ICTUS study.
2008
To analyze the impact of occult renal failure (ORF) in the individual risk stratification and on the blood pressures (BP) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) goals in an aged population, according to the ESH/ESC Hypertension Guidelines.A cross-sectional, population-based study on individuals aged 60 years or more carried out in Primary Care Centers of Spain. Kidney function was estimated from calculated creatinine clearance (eGFR), Cockroft and Gault formula. Ten-year cardiovascular risk was estimated through the ESH/ESC table including or not including the eGFR. Estimates of the modification in BP and LDL-cholesterol (cLDL) goals were calculated.In 6419 subjects, 4242 subjects (66%) had norm…
Endoscopic microsurgical dissection of the esophagus. Results in an animal model.
1989
Blunt dissection of the esophagus is considered the least invasive technique in the treatment of either benign or malignant diseases of the esophagus. Its disadvantage is that it has to be carried out blindly. The results may be uncontrollable hemorrhage, unrecognized injuries to the trachea, and damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. In order to reduce the degree of invasiveness a new endoscopic microsurgical technique for the dissection of the esophagus has been developed and tried out in animals. This paper presents the operative technique. Our new endoscopic microsurgical technique obviates a thoracotomy, while direct endoscopic vision results in improved dissection. The magnified end…
A sequence of flaps and dissection exercises in the living model to improve the learning curve for perforator flap surgery.
2020
Abstract Introduction The training to learn how to perform perforator flaps requires practice on a living model to optimize dissection and to evaluate outcome. The purpose of this study was to describe a training model that optimizes the use of animals in order to perform the maximum number of exercises per animal. Material and methods The sequence has been planned and practiced by the first and last author, recorded perfected and implemented in a two-day surgical course. The sequence was then evaluated by the trainers and the trainees by means of a questionnaire. Results All students were able to complete the sequence of exercises before the end of the second day except two (8/10) who coul…
Which is the best ultrasound parameter for the prediction of adverse perinatal outcome within 1 day of delivery?
2021
To compare the accuracies of several sonographic parameters for the prediction of adverse perinatal outcome (APO) prior to delivery.This was a prospective study of fetuses attending the day hospital unit of a tertiary referral hospital that were scanned at 34-41 weeks and gave birth within 24 h of examination. APO was defined as a composite of abnormal intrapartum fetal heart rate or intrapartum fetal scalp pH7.20 requiring urgent cesarean section, neonatal umbilical cord pH7.10, 5' Apgar score7 and postpartum admission to neonatal or pediatric intensive care units. The accuracies of the middle cerebral, vertebral and umbilical arteries pulsatility index multiples of the median (MoM), the c…
