Abstract This article aims to assess the presence of skeletal and soft tissue infections before or after treatment response in Ga-68 citrate positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan positive patients. A prospective study was conducted for 43 The eligibility criteria included those patients clinically suspected who underwent a PET/CT. Exclusion were pregnancy lactation. Patients with suspicion infection failure PET/CT between January 2020 November 2021. Among these,...
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis patients (CRS) suffer from chronic inflammation of the sinus mucosa associated with relapsing infections. Mucosal biofilms, Staphylococcus aureus , have been implicated as a cause. We compared effect exoproteins secreted clinical isolates S CRS in planktonic and biofilm form on nasal epithelial barrier. Methods Clinical 39 were grown forms their concentrated. These applied to primary human cells at air‐liquid interface. Transepithelial electrical resistance,...
Background: Adhesion formation after abdominal surgery is considered almost inevitable and a major cause of morbidity. Novel treatments have been proposed, however there lack suitable small animal models for pre-clinical evaluation, mainly due to inconsistency in adhesion positive control animals. Here, we propose new rat model adhesions using Kaolin as the adhesion-inducing agent at an optimized dosage testing newer agents respect their anti-adhesive property. Materials Methods: Twenty-five...
Introduction: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS), a subset of sinusitis secondary to hypersensitivity, is clinically similar chronic with nasal polyp but histologically different rich eosinophils and Charcot Leyden crystals. Since the primary pathology in AFRS immune mediated, recurrence rates are high. In this study, we describe application radical extended sinus surgery (RESS) as surgical technique usage postoperative high-volume steroidal irrigation short-term oral steroid therapy –...
Introduction Adhesions are often considered to be an inevitable consequence of abdominal and pelvic surgery, jeopardizing the medium long-term success these procedures. Numerous strategies have been tested reduce adhesion formation, however, date, no surgical or medical therapeutic approaches successful in its prevention. This study demonstrates safety efficacy Chitogel with Deferiprone and/or antibacterial Gallium Protoporphyrin different concentrations preventing formation after surgery....
This study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of Chitogel, with without Deferiprone (Def) Gallium Protoporphyrin (GaPP), as a promoter wound healing improve surgical outcomes after endoscopic sinus susgery.A double-blinded, randomised control human clinical trial was conducted in patients undergoing ESS treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis. Participants underwent functional or FESS drill out required were receive test product Chitogel combination Def Def-GaPP versus no packing...
Abstract Background As the scope of endoscopic techniques continues to evolve in treatment advanced sinonasal malignancies, primary challenge is reconstruction resulting anterior skull base dural defect. Objective This study aimed assess efficacy vascularized pericranial flap addressing defects particularly when alternative reconstructive methods, such as nasoseptal flaps, are not viable. Methods We conducted a retrospective review nine patients who underwent resection malignancy followed by...
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value helps in differentiating infections from neoplasms on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigate the diffusion-weighted images skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) to evaluate if ADC values can differentiate fungal and bacterial SBO analyse microbiology of all patients.
Intraoperative hemorrhage is a major cause of poor post-operative outcome. Beta-chitin patch has previously been found to be an effective haemostat, but whether modifying the can improve its efficacy and safety, remains unknown. In this study, beta-chitin patches were modified using polyethylene oxide, Pluronic-F127 (Chi/F127), calcium (Chi/20%Ca), increased thickness (Chi/Thick) or polyphosphate (Chi/PP).Using rat (Wistar Albino; 8-10 weeks old) vascular neurosurgical models, project...
