Seventeen years after its introduction, topical negative pressure (TNP), in particular Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC), is widely accepted as a treatment for complicated acute and, increasingly, chronic wounds. Indications use include:
Our aim was to validate a strategy for assessing the risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia in newborns with gestational ages ≥35 weeks by combining predischarge bilirubin percentile data age data, European, predominantly white population.We conducted prospective cohort study 463 who were admitted well-infant nursery. Total levels measured daily until discharge and once after discharge, between third eighth days life, using Bilicheck device (Respironics, Murrysville, PA). The values obtained...
Cysts of the mesentery, retroperitoneum and omentum are rare. We present a patient with mucinous cystade-noma in mesentery right hemicolon. The exact aetiology these cysts at aforementioned sites is still unclear. Adenocarcinomas can arise cystadenomas. Therefore, our opinion, to prevent spillage approach primarily perform laparatomy instead attempting remove lesions laparoscopically, even if clinical radiological signs malignancy absent.
Laparostomy is a technique in which the abdomen remains open after laparotomy. It indicated when initial treatment followed by abdominal compartment syndrome, or relaparotomies for other complications are expected. also effective and practical patients with severe intra-abdominal infection.
