Abstract Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) has been recognized as a life-long inflammatory disease. Although several novel treatments for UC developed, medication-uncontrollable patients require the surgical treatment. The operation could improve quality of life patients, but requires intensive medical following, because more than 40% develop to pouchitis. We have explored symbiote candidates Ileoanal pouch through comprehensive microbiome and metabolome analysis prove mechanism Methods...
Background Systematic evaluation of complex flow in the true lumen and false (TL, FL) is needed to better understand which patients with chronic descending aortic dissection (DAD) are predisposed complications. Purpose To develop quantitative hemodynamic maps from 4D MRI for evaluating TL FL characteristics. Study Type Retrospective. Population In all, 20 DAD (age = 60 ± 11 years; 12 male) (six medically managed type B AD [TBAD], 14 repaired A [rTAAD] now ascending graft [AAo] or elephant...
The objective of the current study was to define long-term survival patients with resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) after preoperative percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) versus endoscopic (EBD).Between 2000 and 2014, 240 who underwent curative-intent resection for HCCA were identified at 10 major hepatobiliary centers. Postoperative morbidity mortality, as well disease-specific (DSS) recurrence-free (RFS) analyzed among patients.The median decrease in total bilirubin...
Epilepsy is an uncommon comorbidity of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and has been considered not directly associated with PD. We present five patients (3 men 2 women; ages 49–85) who had concomitant PD cryptogenic epilepsy. Although rare, epilepsy can coexist their coexistence may influence the progression While this be a chance association, evolving understanding neurophysiological basis either suggest mechanistic association.
Purpose Driveline exit site (DLES) management following left ventricular assist device implantation is important for preventing driveline infection (DLI). While chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) generally recommended DLES antisepsis, CHG intolerance can develop, resulting in a need alternative antiseptics. We reviewed our institutional experience with antisepsis methods HeartMate II patients, comparing outcomes of patients and without intolerance. Methods Between October 2011 March 2016, 44...
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has emerged as a potential life-saving treatment for patients with acute respiratory failure. Given the accumulating literature supporting use of VV-ECMO without therapeutic levels anticoagulation, it might be feasible to planned intubation before surgical procedures. Here, we report consecutive series who underwent initiation VV-ECMO, induction general anesthesia anticipated difficult airways or decompensation. We describe approach...
Background Shorter length of stay (LOS) is a welcome consequence optimized perioperative care. However, accelerated hospital discharge may have unintended consequences. Before implementing an institutional enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, we evaluated the safety shorter LOS and compared outcomes patients with (LOS ≤ 3 days) to those longer > days). Methods We identified all undergoing elective cardiac cardiopulmonary bypass between July 2004 June 2017. Transcatheter approaches,...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is predominantly recognized for its motor symptoms, but patients struggle from a morbid and heterogeneous collection of non-motor symptoms (NMS-PD) that can affect their quality life even more. NMS-PD rather generalized term the heterogeneity non-specific nature many poses clinical challenge when PD patient presents with complaints may not be NMS-PD.We report two idiopathic who presented acute episodes cognitive changes. Structural brain images, cardiovascular...

Patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) are at increased risk of bleeding. We reviewed our institutional experience bleeding in the urinary tract after CF-LVAD implantation and quantified impact on hospital resource utilization comparison gastrointestinal (GI) tract, most commonly reported mucosal site LVAD implantation. Records were retrospectively for patients undergoing institution between October 2011 April 2015. Major adverse events gross hematuria GI...
A 24-year-old man with Marfan syndrome and heart failure from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was referred to our institution in cardiogenic shock for advanced therapies.He supported by a femoral intra-aortic balloon pump then bridged orthotopic transplantation.This is report of an transplantation patient both cardiomyopathy.
Aortic root enlargement (ARE) during aortic valve replacement (AVR) mitigates prosthesis-patient mismatch, but its use has been low. Transcatheter valve-in-valve (VIV) as a treatment for failing bioprosthetic valves is limited by small surgical valves, renewing interest in ARE the index AVR. This study demonstrates trends and outcomes of after commercial approval VIV 2015. retrospective cohort analyzed 2182 patients undergoing nonemergent AVR between August 2007 December 2022. Endocarditis,...
Retained coronary wires, stents, and catheters are rare complications of percutaneous interventions.Descriptions operative techniques for removal scarce.We present a series retained material various management removal.
Introduction: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), postural imbalance and gait disorders (PIGD) are predictors of decreased quality life survival. PIGD often become unresponsive to pharmacological treatments commonly associated with cognitive dysfunction. Physical therapy (PT) training falls prevention education considered effective treatments; however, improvements generally short-lived only partially maintained. this population, dysfunction hampering the consolidation new motor skills (motor...
