Many surgeons routinely place intraperitoneal drains after elective colorectal surgery. However, enhanced recovery surgery guidelines recommend against their routine use owing to a lack of clear clinical benefit. This study aimed describe international variation in drain placement and the safety this practice.COMPASS (COMPlicAted intra-abdominal collectionS Surgery) was prospective, international, cohort which enrolled consecutive adults undergoing (February March 2020). The primary outcome...
This study aimed to determine the impact of pulmonary complications on death after surgery both before and during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.
In renal transplant waitlisted patients, vaccinations remain the standard of care for infection prevention. The vaccine and its adjuvant sensitizer can be potential sources induction donor-specific antibodies (DSA) against human leukocyte antigens (HLA). These novel HLA result in a positive flow cell crossmatch (FCXM), which make previously compatible live donor incompatible. We present an adult patient who has had multiple negative T-cell B-cell FCXM with no detection DSA at baseline. then...
The recently emerged novel coronavirus, "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)," caused a highly contagious disease called coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). It has severely damaged the world's most developed countries and turned into major threat for low- middle-income countries. Since its emergence in late 2019, medical interventions have been substantial, relied on public health measures collectively known as nonpharmaceutical (NPIs). We aimed to centralize accumulative...
Context.— Mass COVID-19 vaccination is mandated in vulnerable populations our renal transplant waitlist cohort. However, the anti–human leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA) profile after controversial, and side effects are yet to be discerned. Objective.— To evaluate status of HLA antibodies patients before 3 weeks each if comorbidities associated with antibody profile. Design.— A total 59 waitlisted kidney were included this study. The anti-HLA analyzed 6 months their last vaccination. mean...
Abstract Introduction/Objective In renal transplant waitlisted patients, vaccination series remains to be the standard of care for infection prevention. There is a need investigate if any these vaccines or their adjuvant components can induce de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) against human leukocyte antigens (HLA). These novel anti-HLA in patients result positive flow cell crossmatch (FCXM) associated with an increased risk rejection. Methods/Case Report We present 59-year-old...
Amyand's hernia (AH) is a rare form of an inguinal where the vermiform appendix found within sac. Diagnosis usually based on incidental finding intraoperatively. The AH makes up small proportion all cases, and concurrent acute ischemic complication even smaller subset. We present 85-year-old male who was referred to general surgery services for growing mass his right lower quadrant in region. This non-tender palpation, therefore there no suspicion ischaemic complications. An open...
Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a life-saving treatment for various hematological disorders. The success of allo-HSCT depends on the engraftment donor cells and elimination recipient monitored through chimerism testing. We aimed to validate next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assay monitoring emphasize importance including most prevalent subsets in proficiency testing (PT) programs. evaluated analytical performance NGS-based (AlloSeq-HCT CareDx) with panel...
<abstract> Firstly, we collated the vast repository of MIS-C cases and presented them in a simplified, condensed, comprehensive format. Secondly, explored clinical presentation, efficacy management options. Additionally, briefly discussed pathophysiology addressed variance jargon criteria relating to this condition. <sec> <title>Methods</title> A systematic literature review was conducted on 17th October 2020 accordance with PRISMA (2015) guidelines. The search terms: 'MIS-C', 'Kawasaki-like...
(1) Background: Actinotignum schaalii is an emerging, opportunistic pathogen often linked with UTIs but can extend beyond the urogenital system. Data on clinical significance of A. are still emerging. (2) Methods: A retrospective review isolates in a Canadian tertiary care hospital was conducted. The data patients that grew from January 2020 to 2022 were documented. Demographics, site, management, and microbiological parameters surrounding culture sensitivities recorded. (3) Results: total...
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with the ability to infect any nucleated cell in humans. Most immunocompetent infected individuals are asymptomatic. Latent toxoplasma can become reactivated immunocompromised though this exceptionally rare HIV-negative individuals. Methods: We present case of 47-year-old male chronic immunosuppression secondary marginal zone lymphoma and steroid therapy. Results: The patient presented hospital 1-week history word-finding difficulties,...
Tuberculosis is an airborne disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Intracranial tuberculoma a rare complication of extrapulmonary tuberculosis due to hematogenous spread subpial and subependymal regions. can occur with or without meningitis.A 3-year-old male who had recently emigrated from Sudan presented the emergency department right-sided seizures lasting 30 minutes, which were aborted levetiracetam midazolam. Head computed tomography revealed multilobulated left supratentorial...
Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia has advanced substantially as our understanding the kinase signal transduction pathways driven by B cell receptor (BcR) developed. Particularly, role Bruton tyrosine and phosphatidyl inositol 3 delta in driving prosurvival (CLL) cells their targeting with pharmacological inhibitors (ibrutinib idelalisib, respectively) improved patient outcomes significantly. The signaling pathway induced BcR is highly complex multiple interconnecting branches...
