Perianal fistulas have posed a medical and surgical problem since ancient times. The plethora of operations described nowadays for anal fistula treatment is real proof that there no ideal therapeutic procedure. cornerstone all approaches the equilibrium between definitive with maintenance continence mechanism, i.e., sphincters. Especially complex (multiple tracts, high transphincteric fistulas, rectovaginal Crohn disease-associated fistulas) are difficult to deal preserve this balance....
Background: Psychological disorders are prevalent in patients having undergone gastrointestinal cancer surgery, and their emotional status may further deteriorate during subsequent chemotherapy. Psychobiotics specific probiotics that have the unique characteristics of producing neuroactive substances thought to act on brain-gut axis. The aim present study was evaluate benefits a psychobiotic formula depression anxiety status, as well perceived stress, versus placebo chemotherapy course...
Background: The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes [NLR] is one the most accepted prognostic indices and demonstrates a positive correlation with severity disease. Given that probiotics exerted immunomodulatory properties thus positively affected lymphocytopenia induction in severely ill patients, we performed post hoc analysis ProVAP protocol investigate whether prognostication NLR respect ventilator-associated pneumonia multi-trauma patients. This cohort mandatorily involved severe...
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) are widely accepted indices positively correlated with disease severity, progression, mortality. In this study, we tested whether NLR PLR could predict mortality length of hospital stay (LOS) after cardiac surgery. were calculated on days 0, 3, 5, 7 postoperatively. A ROC curve was generated to assess their prognostic value; multivariate logistic analysis identified independent risk factors for 90-day Analysis performed...
Abstract Purpose Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) are widely accepted indices positively correlated with the disease severity, progression, mortality. Since in a previous study we had nutritional parameters morbidity mortality cardiac surgery patients, decided to perform post-hoc analysis test whether these also NLR PLR indices. Methods were calculated on days 0, 3, 5, 7 postoperatively. ROC curve was generated assess their prognostic value multivariate...
Postoperative pain is the unpleasant sensory and emotional experience after surgery, its origin being both inflammatory reaction induced by surgical trauma on abdominal wall splanchnic activation of nociceptors viscera, which are highly sensitive to distension, ischemia, inflammation. Nowadays, it well recognized that there a close relationship between gut microbiome perception, affected anesthesia manipulation. Thus, efforts restore disturbed via supplementation with beneficial bacteria,...
Wound healing is a multi-factorial response to tissue injury, aiming restore continuity. Numerous recent experimental and some clinical studies, clearly indicate that probiotics applied topically promote the wound process. However, precise mechanism by which they contribute not yet clear. Each strain appears exert distinctive, even action on different phases of Given multi-probiotic formula exerts better results than single strain, pharmaceutical industry has embarked race for production...
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) comprise a rare variety of genetic disorders, affecting all types collagen. Herein, we describe case the vascular type EDS, with coexisting segmental absence intestinal musculature, while simultaneously performing narrative review existing literature. A 23-year-old male patient history multiple abdominal operations due to recurrent bowel perforations and presence high-output enterocutaneous fistula was admitted our surgical department for further evaluation...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most frequent mesenchymal neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract. They have variable clinical presentation, prognosis, and molecular characteristics. Here, we present results our retrospective study including patients operated on for GIST during last decade. All who underwent resection decade 2008-2018 were included in study. The diagnosis was based pathology report. data collected analyzed statistically using Statistical Package Social Science...
Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a chronic type of involving the groove area between head pancreas, duodenum, and common bile duct. Alcohol abuse one main pathogenetic factors, although its etiology not clearly defined. Differential diagnosis pancreatic disorders remains difficult. The lack diagnostic management restrictive number patients are barriers. This article presents case 37-year-old male diagnosed with GP after several episodes epigastric pain vomiting, history alcohol consumption....
Post-operative pain is the unpleasant sensory and emotional experience after surgery, its origin being both inflammatory reaction induced by surgical trauma on abdominal wall, splanchnic pain, activation of nociceptors viscera, which are highly sensi-tive to distension, ischemia inflammation. Nowadays, it well recognized that there a close relationship between gut microbiome perception, af-fected anaesthesia manipulation. Thus, efforts restore disturbed micro-biome supplementation with...
In Europe, primary hyperparathyroidism is mainly considered an asymptomatic disorder, although there evidence that patients' health-related quality of life impaired. This aspect mostly evaluated using Pasieka's Questionnaire: a disease-specific diagnostic tool. The purpose this study was to translate the Questionnaire into Greek language and adapt it population.Pasieka's consists 13 questions. Two bilingual, native experts were selected for step one, each whom offered blinded version...
Colorectal cancer (CRCa) is the most frequent gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy, while liver common site of distant metastases from CRCa, arising hematogenous spread mainly via portal venous system. The multiform nature tumor presentation necessitates a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, perioperative care, and oncological treatment strategy. Herein, we present case 76-year-old male patient diagnosed with obstructive bowel ileus due sigmoid synchronous, suspicious for metastasis, lesion who...
Colorectal surgery for cancer is associated with a high rate of surgical complications, including anastomotic leakage. The ability to predict the risk leakage early enough seems be value, since it would facilitate design personalized treatment and duration hospitalization. Although different studies present neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR] as having strong predictive there discrepancy respect which postoperative day most reliable. We evaluated series NLR values, from before up POD7, in...
Background: Anastomotic leakage, which is defined as a defect in the integrity of surgical join between two hollow viscera leading to communication intraluminal and extraluminal compartments, continues be high incidence one most feared complications following gastrointestinal surgery, with significant potential for fatal outcome. Surgical options management are limited carry risk morbidity mortality; thus, surgeons urged look alternative minimally invasive, repeatable, non-operative, do not...
