Gastroparesis is a chronic gastric motility disorder in which the pathophysiology mimics postvagotomy state. Pyloroplasty beginning to emerge as successful drainage procedure for refractory gastroparesis. Here we report our experience using pyloroplasty surgical management of diabetic and nondiabetic A retrospective study was performed 46 patients undergoing gastroparesis from January 2010 through December 2013. Gastric emptying scintigraphy Cardinal Symptom Index were assessed pre-...
To determine if highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) with combination anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) compared to HAART HBV monotherapy leads greater DNA suppression in an HIV/HBV coinfected cohort.A cross-sectional analysis of 122 patients from Australia and the United States.Univariate ordinal logistic regression were used factors associated less than 100 IU/ml.The majority on (85%), had HIV RNA 50 copies/ml, a median CD4 cell count 438 cells/microl, prior or current lamivudine (98%)....
We report a case of patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) for 20 years who has experienced CD4(+) T cell depletion in spite maintaining undetectable viral loads. Our data suggest that immune activation can cause even when HIV-1 replication appears to be controlled by host factors.
Gunshot wounds to the brain (GSWB) confer high lethality and uncertain recovery. It is unclear which patients benefit from aggressive resuscitation, furthermore whether with GSWB undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have potential for survival or organ donation. Therefore, we sought determine rates of donation, as well identify factors associated both outcomes in CPR.We performed a retrospective, multicenter study at 25 US trauma centers including dates between June 1, 2011...
Introduction: The United States and the world are currently experiencing a tremendous growth in elderly population. Moreover, individuals surpassing ages of 80 90 also continuing to increase. As this unique division society expands, it is critical that medical community best understands how assess, diagnose, treat purpose study was analyze morbidity, mortality, overall outcome patients aged years older after orthopedic surgical fracture repair. Such knowledge will guide their families making...
Calibration of computer navigation for spinal fusion is most commonly conducted using either a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan or intraoperative O-arm scanning. This study aimed to directly compare patient radiation exposure from use pedicle screw placement versus typical diagnostic lumbar spine CT studies.A retrospective review patients undergoing navigated procedures was performed record as the primary outcome, well surgical and demographic details. The same done control group...
The decision to develop a formal Bloodless Medicine Program attract and effectively care for patients who decline blood transfusion was made in 1998 by clinical administrative leaders at our flagship hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, part of the Health Network. has more than 20 years experience caring this sometimes challenging patient population with provided extensive insight into best practices related effective, safe, management. Patient management is patient-centered, evidence-based...
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and targeted temperature management (TTM) have been shown to improve outcomes in survivors of cardiac arrest, but prior research has excluded trauma postoperative patients. We sought determine whether TH/TTM is safe surgical A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single level I center reviewing adults presenting as traumatic arrest or the period with Glasgow Coma Scale <8 after return circulation who were treated either TH TTM. Neurological recovery...
