Determine whether absorbable or nonabsorbable mesh in repair of large hiatus hernias reduces the risk recurrence, compared with suture repair.Repair hernia is associated radiological recurrence rates up to 30%, and improve outcomes has been recommended. Previous trials have shown less short-term mesh, but adverse limit use.Multicentre prospective double blind randomized controlled trial 3 methods repair: sutures versus mesh. Primary outcome-hernia assessed by barium meal radiology endoscopy...
Objective: To determine whether absorbable or nonabsorbable mesh repair of large hiatus hernias is followed by less recurrences at late follow-up compared to sutured repair. Summary Background Data: Radiological have been reported in up 30% patients after hernias, and has proposed as a solution. Earlier trials revealed mixed outcomes early from trial previously no short-term advantages for Methods: Multicentre prospective double-blind randomized controlled 3 methods hernia repair; sutures...
Abstract Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is widely considered the most effective option for treating obesity, a chronic, relapsing, progressive disease. Recently, American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) International Federation Obesity Disorders (IFSO) issued new guidelines on indications MBS, which have superseded previous 1991 National Institutes Health guidelines. The aim this study to establish first set consensus selecting procedures in Class I II using an Expert Modified...
Abstract Background The repair of large hiatal hernias can be technically challenging. Most series describing laparoscopic report only symptomatic outcomes and the true recurrence rate, including asymptomatic recurrence, is not well documented. This study evaluated long-term outcome hernias. Methods All patients who had undergone a hiatus hernia (more than 50 per cent stomach in hernia) with minimum 2-year clinical follow-up were identified from prospectively maintained database. A...
Abstract One fatal kind of cancer that can be successfully treated if detected early is Melanoma skin cancer. In this paper, an embedded diagnostic device to aid in the identification proposed. The reconfigurable computing advances and modern design approaches are used construct accurate efficient medical for identifying possible aim develop implement hardware software modules collaborate diagnose images by analyzing them tumors. This study employed ResNet50 deep learning model, which...
Abstract Background Many patients with locally advanced gastro-oesophageal cancers are unable to complete adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT) chemotherapy, raising questions about its therapeutic utility. The aim of this study was examine whether pathological response neoadjuvant FLOT can guide use. Methods Patients non-metastatic adenocarcinoma who received underwent surgery from 1 January 2017 2022 43 hospitals across 12 countries were analysed....
Abstract Background Preoperative immunonutrition has been proposed to reduce the duration of hospital stay and infective complications following major elective surgery in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy. A multicentre 2 × factorial RCT was conducted determine impact preoperative postoperative versus standard nutrition oesophageal cancer. Methods Patients were randomized before oesophagectomy (IMPACT®) isocaloric/isonitrogenous nutrition, then further after operation nutrition....
Perioperative fluid therapy and associated outcomes of patients undergoing major elective open gastrointestinal surgery are poorly understood. This study measured perioperative therapy, complication rates for in a tertiary care hospital. We obtained demographic data, operative details, prescription, complications 100 patients. Patients were elderly had multiple comorbidities. Median delivered intraoperative volume was 4.2 litres, followed by 6.3 litres over the subsequent 24 hours....
Purpose The Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Registry (UGICR) was developed to monitor and improve the quality of care provided patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers in Australia. Participants It supports four cancer modules: pancreatic, oesophagogastric, biliary primary liver cancer. pancreatic (PC) module first be implemented, others being established a staged approach. Individuals are recruited registry if they aged 18 years or older, have received for their at participating...
Evidence is accumulating that gastrin precursors may act as growth factors for the colonic mucosa in vivo and colorectal carcinoma cell lines vitro. The effect of short term administration synthetic gastrins on vivo, however, has not been reported. aim our study was to determine whether continuous systemic infusion glycine-extended gastrin17 stimulated proliferation accelerated carcinogenesis mucosa. A significant increase mucosal assessed by metaphase index seen caecum (23%, p < 0.02)...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the risk developing skeletal‐related events ( SRE s) based on site metastasis at diagnosis and identify other predictors s among metastatic prostate cancer patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort using linked SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results) Medicare data identified men over age 65 with incident diagnosed during 2005–2009. included radiation RAD ), pathological fractures PF bone surgery BS spinal cord compression SCC )....
Diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon complication that can follow transhiatal esophagectomy. It has not been reported after minimally invasive We report such a case presenting with features of small bowel obstruction. The paucity adhesions following the combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approach may confer increased risk this complication.
Skeletal related events (SREs) are common in men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC). Various methods have been used to identify SREs from claims data. The objective of this study was provide a framework for measuring and compare SRE prevalence cumulative incidence estimates based on alternative approaches mPC. Several claims-based identifying were developed applied data aged [greater than or equal to] 66 years newly diagnosed mPC between 2000 2009 the SEER-Medicare datasets followed...
