Although Seprafilm has been demonstrated to reduce adhesion formation, it is not known whether its usage would translate into a reduction in adhesive small-bowel obstruction.This was prospective, randomized, multicenter, multinational, single-blind, controlled study. This report focuses on those patients who underwent intestinal resection (n = 1,701). Before closure of the abdomen, were randomized receive or no treatment. applied adhesiogenic tissues throughout abdomen. The incidence and...

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed in men and women United States, 2005, an estimated 104,950 new cases of colon will occur. Despite these statistics, mortality from has decreased over past 30 years, possibly because earlier diagnosis through screening better treatment modalities. The NCCN guidelines summarize management cancer, disease presentation recurrent patient surveillance. For recent version guidelines, please visit NCCN.org

To investigate the efficacy and safety of alvimopan, 12 mg, administered orally 30 to 90 minutes preoperatively twice daily postoperatively in conjunction with a standardized accelerated postoperative care pathway for managing ileus after bowel resection.This multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 trial enrolled adult patients undergoing partial resection primary anastomosis by laparotomy scheduled receive intravenous, opioid-based, patient-controlled analgesia. A...
Objective To examine clinical outcomes in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma. Summary Background Data Preoperative radiation therapy, either alone or combination with 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, has proven both safe and effective the treatment of cancer. However, data are lacking regarding which subgroups benefit from therapy terms decreased local recurrence increased survival rates. Methods A retrospective chart review was...
Purpose Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been associated with aggressive tumor phenotypes, chemotherapy, and radiation resistance, as well poor survival in preclinical clinical models. The EGFR inhibitor gefitinib potentiates chemotherapy cytotoxicity models, including pancreatic colorectal cancer. We initiated two phase I trials assessing the combination gefitinib, capecitabine, patients localized rectal Patients Methods pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma...
We report the outcome in 1,079 consecutive clean or clean-contaminated midline abdominal incisions closed with running 0-loop nylon suture after both elective and emergency operations done between 1984 1991. Postoperatively, 79 patients were lost to follow-up, resulting 1,000 having long-term follow-up. Mean follow-up among these was 22 months. Early wound complications included subcutaneous infection (18), deep (17), dehiscence (13), fistula (2), sinus (2). A ventral hernia developed 42...
In our daily life, individuals encounter with various types of stress. Accumulation life stress (chronic stress) often causes gastrointestinal symptoms and functional diseases. Although some can adapt toward chronic stress, the adaptation mechanism against remains unknown. acute delays gastric emptying alters upper motility, effects on motility still remain unclear. We investigated (single (repeated for 5 consecutive days) solid interdigestive gastroduodenal contractions in rats. It is well...
Accumulation of continuous life stress (chronic stress) often causes gastric symptoms. Although central oxytocin has antistress effects, the role in stress-induced dysmotility remains unknown. Solid emptying was measured rats receiving acute restraint stress, 5 consecutive days repeated homotypic stress), and 7 varying types heterotypic stress). Oxytocin receptor antagonist were administered intracerebroventricularly (icv). Expression corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) mRNA paraventricular...
Abstract This paper gives an account of proxy agency in the context collective action. It takes case a group announcing something by way spokesperson as illustration. In agency, it seems that one person or subgroup's doing counts constitutes is recognized (tantamount to) another group's something. Proxy pervasive institutional has been taken to be straightforward counterexample appealing deflationary view action matter all members making contribution bringing about some event. I show this...
INTRODUCTION: Postoperative abdominal adhesions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Development of bioresorbable membrane containing up to 23 percent glycerol chemically modified sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose offers ease handling has been shown provide postoperative adhesion prevention in animals. This study was designed assess the safety evaluate its efficacy reducing incidence, extent, severity...
