There is conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) in suboptimal deceased donor kidneys. We aimed to assess feasibility and short-term brief preimplantation NMP circulatory death (DCD)
The triad of acute pancreatitis, hypertriglyceridemia and diabetes is a rare occurrence.A previously well 19-year-old male presented to the emergency department with 24-hour history epigastric pain, associated polyuria nausea. Biochemical markers showed presence hyperglycemia (blood sugar level 15 mmol/L) ketonemia (5.3 mmol/L). Further investigation revealed severe (4,009 mg/dL) elevated lipase (1,714 U/L). Abdominal ultrasound confirmed diagnosis pancreatitis. He was transferred intensive...
Background: Immediate breast reconstruction is an acceptable treatment option after mastectomy for prophylaxis of early cancer. Different options exist implant placement, incision technique, patient suitability, and institutional experience. This article a case series exploring the feasibility outcomes patients undergoing immediate using skin-sparing without mesh or acellular dermal matrix (ADM) with vertical inframammary incision. Methods: A single-institution retrospective analysis was...
Abstract Background Studies show increased rates of mortality for admissions on the weekend ( WE ) versus weekday WD ). However, scepticism exists this so‐called ‘weekend effect’ patient outcome. It remains poorly investigated, particularly timing day surgery and post‐operative outcomes. A UK study found higher odds death when operated F riday , . This relationship was investigated by interrogating ustralian N ew Z ealand udit S urgical M ortality database. Methods standardized tool is used...
Hamstring tendon autografts are used for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. This study tested hypothesis that a 5-strand hamstring autograft construct is superior in strength to 4-strand construct. Four-strand and grafts constructs were prepared from ovine flexor tendons then uniaxial electromechanical load system with suspensory fixation. The pre-conditioned, stress-relaxed loaded ultimate failure. Stress-relaxation, stiffness compared using one-way ANOVA. There no...
Acute appendicitis in the setting of midgut malrotation is uncommon. Midgut commonly presents within first month life. A minority remain asymptomatic and may present with concomitant abdominal pathology making diagnosis difficult.This paper reports a rare case 73-year-old male diagnosed acute MM .The patient underwent laparoscopic appendectomy, but had an unplanned return to theatre for washout post-operative intra-abdominal haematoma.Midgut described by stringer classification type 1a most...
Drug coated balloons (DCB) are a commonly used endovascular option for treating patients presenting with symptomatic peripheral vascular disease. DCB have illustrated to increase primary patency and thus been popular choice in addressing restenosis caused by neointimal hyperplasia. Pseudoaneurysms (PSA) common pathology, the causes of which include iatrogenic, trauma, stent fractures angioplasty balloon overuse. Herein, we describe case where patient developed multiple superficial femoral...
Fungal infections are a recognized complication of immunosuppression in solid organ transplant recipients. Phaeohyphomycoses fungal caused by diverse group dematiaceous fungi.We share the learning points from 2 Australian cases phaeohyphomycosis secondary to Phaeacreomonium species (spp). A literature review was performed using Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar identify this condition among kidney recipients.With reported article, total 17 were identified literature. Phaeacremonium spp is...
We present two cases of acute aortic syndromes (AAS), involving an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with associated Kommerell's diverticulae (KD). One the involves a penetrating ulcer in patients ARSA and KD represents first reported such case literature. Both progressed despite optimal medical therapy suggesting AAS this anomalous anatomy needs more aggressive operative approach. The involvement patient appears to increase disease progression anatomical variation should be considered...
Large-vessel vasculitides are well-recognized entities, affecting the aorta, supra-aortic branch vessels, cranial and less commonly, peripheral arteries. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is one of most frequent large-vessel elderly patients. Despite diagnostic criteria, mainstay definitive diagnosis has been temporal artery biopsies. More recently, adjuvant ultrasound used to identify skip lesions before biopsy. Downstream ischemia vessels traditionally managed by open revascularization due...
Internal carotid artery aneurysms are rare pathologies. Endovascular treatment of these disorders is new and emerging field interventional neurology. A 50 year old male presented to our unit with progressive headaches, visual disturbance panhypopituitarism. Investigations revealed a giant fusiform right cavernous internal aneurysm (39 x 33 37 mm). He underwent endovascular Surpass flow diverting stent subsequently developed sinus syndrome carotid-venous fistula. novel stent-in-stent...
