Importance: Socially Responsible Surgery (SRS) integrates surgery and public health, providing a framework for research, advocacy, education clinical practice to address the social barriers of health that decrease surgical access worsen outcomes in underserved patient populations. These patients face disparities both healthcare, which can be effectively addressed by surgeons collaboration with allied professionals. Objective: We reviewed current state populations American rural communities,...
Natural disasters can overwhelm the domestic response of a country, leaving it dependent on external humanitarian relief. The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) United Nations centralises funding and thus allows for rapid response. This study combined data to analyse factors that affected allocation CERF countries suffered natural disaster between 2007 2013. It generated descriptive statistics information relative risks, performed regressions across countries. There were 4,346 in total...
Abstract BACKGROUND 50-80% of all glioma patients will suffer from seizures during their lifetime. Over half these have drug resistant seizures. Seizure risk is increased peri-operatively, at tumour progression, and shortly before death. Current guidelines do not support routine use prophylactic peri-operative anti-epileptic drugs (AED) in seizure naïve patients; despite this, levetiracetam frequently prescribed for this indication. The aim trial was to determine the clinical cost...
Abstract The neurocognitive processes underlying Pavlovian conditioning in humans are still largely debated. conventional view is that conditioned responses (CRs) emerge automatically as a function of the contingencies between stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned (US). As such, associative strength model asserts frequency or amplitude CRs reflects CS–US associations. Alternatively, expectation presentation CS triggers conscious expectancy US, which responsible for production CRs. present study...
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) malfunctions are not uncommon and can lead to complex including worsening hydrocephalus organ injury through migration perforation. We report a unique case of VPS migrating the fallopian tube, uterus, cervix vagina 6-year-old female without X-ray demonstrated coiled VP catheter exiting pelvis point care ultrasound showed hyperechoic structure traversing distended fluid filled uterus. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed path migration.
The fetus of a 29 year old G2P1 was diagnosed on routine prenatal ultrasound in the early second trimester with gastroschisis. Classically, gastroschisis is right-sided periumbilical abdominal wall defect. Our case highly unusual because defect left. None current theories embryogenesis right sided adequately explain how can arise Associated congenital anomalies are rare but our patient had left talipes deformity, digital hand and persistent superior vena cava. Also, severe problems...
Intrapericardial congenital diaphragmatic hernia (IPCDH) is extremely rare: only 18 cases in children have been reported the literature since 1981. We report 19th case of infantile IPCDH a 6-month-old girl and compare with previous reports. Our patient initially presented four days dyspnea was diagnosed CDH by preoperative radiography. She taken to operating room, where an discovered, successfully reduced. may present cardiopulmonary compromise, but directly compress heart, leading acute or...
Intra-thoracic desmoid tumors are exceedingly rare in the pediatric population, and can present with compression of cardiopulmonary structures respiratory compromise. Surgical anesthetic management these challenging. We report case a 14-year-old male who presented dyspnea, found to have large intra-thoracic mass that was critically compressing his trachea. provide review literature discuss masses.
Abstract Aim Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is most commonly performed using open surgical techniques. Minimal access approaches have reduced the morbidity of many types surgery, however technical limitations hindered widespread adoption laparoscopic methods for PD. There has been increasing use robots to facilitate a minimal approach, motivated by improved visualisation, ergonomics and dexterity compared standard methods. Methods safe introduction novel techniques are lacking, way in which...
In a neonate born at 37 weeks of gestation, the small bowel and colon protruded through defect in abdominal wall, condition referred to as closed gastroschisis.
