Tutorial in oral antithrombotic therapy: biology and dental implications.
2013
Objectives: Recent developments of new direct oral anticoagulants that target specific clotting factors necessitate understanding of coagulation biology. The objective of this tutorial is to offer dental professionals a review of coagulation mechanisms and the pharmacodynamics of the conventional and new oral anticoagulants. Also, we summarized the dental implications of the conventional and new anticoagulants. Method: We searched Medline using search terms “antithrombotic”, “antihemostasis” or “anticoagulation” and combined them with the search results of “dental”, “oral surgery” or “periodontal”. We restricted the results to “human” and “English”. Results: The early coagulation cascade, t…
Prescription of Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Dental Implant Surgery in Healthy Patients: A Systematic Review of Survey-Based Studies
2021
Background: Systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is frequently prescribed by dentists performing dental implant surgery to avoid premature implant failure and postoperative infections. The scientific literature suggests that a single preoperative dose suffices to reduce the risk of early dental implant failure in healthy patients.Material and Methods: A systematic review was made based on an electronic literature search in the PubMed-Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Open Gray databases. The review addressed the question: “which antibiotic prophylaxis regimens are being used in dental implant surgery in healthy patients according to survey-based studies?” The identification, screening,…
The extent of adhesion induction through electrocoagulation and suturing in an experimental rat study.
2008
Objective To investigate the effect of three types of peritoneal trauma occurring during surgery (high-frequency bipolar current, suturing, and mechanical damage) on postoperative adhesion formation in a rodent animal model. Design Randomized, controlled experimental trial in an in vitro animal model. Setting Laboratory facilities of a university department of obstetrics and gynecology. Animal(s) Thirty-five female Wistar rats. Intervention(s) Bilateral experimental lesions were created on the abdominal wall in every animal. The effect of minimal electrocoagulation was examined by creating lesions (n = 14) through sweeps of a bipolar forceps with a duration of 1 second and standardized pres…
Sensorimotor training prior total knee arthroplasty and effects on functional outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2021
Abstract Background Altered muscle activation patterns and proprioception, loss of strength, and weight bearing asymmetries are common limitations after total knee arthroplasty, which can also affect balance. Therefore, preoperative sensorimotor training has been proposed to enhance surgical outcome. Research question Is preoperative sensorimotor training effective in improving functional outcome in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty? Does preoperative sensorimotor training affect secondary outcomes such as balance, pain, and quality of life? Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching PEDro, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases from…
Mechanical rotational thrombectomy in long femoropopliteal artery and stent occlusion in COVID-19 patient: Case report
2021
Abstract Introduction Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been increasingly associated with thromboembolic complications. COVID-19 infection has a thrombogenic potential for stents. Herein, we report a case of stent thrombosis in diabetic obese patient COVID-19 positive where was previously released a Multilayer Flow Modulator stent (MFM) for large popliteal aneurysm. Case report A 78-year-old male was referred to our hospital for fever and acute pain in the left leg. At history, the same patient had endovascular procedure for a large symptomatic popliteal aneurysm, treated through release of three MFM. The pulmonary CT scan showed COVID-19 infection with confirm of rhino-laryngeal swab. …
Fat and liver transplantation: clinical implications
2018
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with or without hepatocellular carcinoma, is a growing indication for liver transplantation (LT) worldwide, particularly in the Western world. Patients with NASH typically combine features of metabolic syndrome with cardiovascular comorbidities, which challenge pre-LT evaluation, surgical approaches, post-LT management, and outcomes. Post-LT survival in NASH patients is excellent, similar to that achieved with other indications, particularly in the absence of cardiovascular comorbidities. Although disease recurrence on the liver allograft is common, progression to advanced disease is uncommon, at least in the short term. Whether this holds true with long…
Inguinal hernia repair in German military hospitals.
2005
ABSTRACT The inguinal hernia repair continues to be the most common operation in general surgery. Discussing the latest scientific findings, we have prepared this article to present a state-of-the-art approach to the inguinal hernia repair. This approach is used for discussing the general principles of hernia repair in German military hospitals. Quality assurance requires that all hernias be classified during surgery on the basis of a standardized approach for an objective comparison of treatment and outcomes. Our approach to hernia repair considers the age of the patient, the diameter and location of the hernia and whether or not the herniation is recurrent. The Shouldice technique perform…
Anesthetics and Cerebral Protection in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
2015
EREBRAL ISCHEMIA/HYPOXIA may occur in a vari-ety of perioperative circumstances. The main pathophy-siologic aspects involved in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion arecaused by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption, theexcitotoxic actions of glutamate, changes in ionic homeostasis,and formation of free radicals (Fig 1). Outcomes from suchevents range from subclinical neurocognitive deficits to cata-strophic neurologic morbidity or death.
Renal Allograft Compartment Syndrome: Is It Possible to Prevent?
2016
Renal allograft compartment syndrome (RACS) is a complication characterized by increased pressure over 15 to 20 mm Hg of the iliac fossa site of transplanted kidney that can lead to a reduction of the blood supply to the graft, resulting in organ ischemia. This study aims to evaluate, through a review of the literature, the incidence, detection, treatment, and possible prevention of RACS. The incidence of this complication, which appears generally in the immediate post-transplantation period, is currently approximately 1% to 2% and is underestimated because of poor nosography for the presence of symptoms common to other post-transplantation complications. Doppler ultrasound is indispensable…
