Many species perform rapid limb movements as part of their elaborate courtship displays. However, because muscle performance is constrained by trade-offs between contraction speed and force, it unclear how animals evolve the ability to produce both unusually fast appendage movement force needed for locomotion. To address this issue, we compare twitch speeds forelimb muscles in a group volant passerine birds, which different Our results show that two taxa exceptionally wing displays have...
Blunt traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWH) occur in approximately 15,000 patients per year. Limited data are available to guide the timing of surgical intervention or feasibility nonoperative management.A retrospective study presenting with blunt TAWH from January 2012 through December 2018 was conducted. Patient demographic, surgical, and outcomes were collected 20 institutions Western Trauma Association Multicenter Trials Committee.Two hundred eighty-one identified. One seventy-six...
Objective: The aim of the study was to quantify risk incarceration incisional hernias. Background: Operative repair is definitive treatment for ventral hernias but often deferred if perceived elective operation elevated secondary comorbid conditions. during nonoperative management (NOM) factors into shared decision making by patient and surgeon; however, incidence acute remains largely unknown. Methods: A retrospective analysis adult patients with an International Classification Diseases,...
Choledocholithiasis in children is commonly managed with an "endoscopy first" (EF) strategy (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) under a separate anesthetic). Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography limited at the end of week (EoW). We hypothesize that "surgery (SF) approach LC, intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC), and possible common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) can decrease length stay (LOS) time to definitive...
Small brightly colored water beads have become increasingly popular toys in the pediatric population, marketed specifically for sensory exploration and learning. Unfortunately, water-absorbing polymer which gives these their ability to grow also serves as means of obstruction if ingested. We report a case patient presenting with small bowel following ingestion bead, was diagnosed treated swiftly without complication. With increasing incidence bead ingestion, it is essential that public be...
The morphology of the avian skeleton is often studied in context adaptations for powered flight. effects other evolutionary forces, such as sexual selection, on skeletal design are unclear, even though birds produce diverse behaviors that undoubtedly require a variety osteological modifications. Here, we investigate this issue family passerine called manakins (Pipridae), which have evolved physically unusual and elaborate courtship displays. We report that, species within genus Manacus,...
Spatial memory is crucial for mating success because it enables males to locate potential mates and competitors in space. Intraspecific competition its varying intensity under certain conditions are potentially important shaping spatial memory. For example, could enable know where (contest competition), help find partners (scramble competition) or both. We manipulated the of intraspecific two distinct contexts by altering operational sex ratio prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) living...
BACKGROUND Partial and intermittent resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (pREBOA iREBOA, respectively) are lifesaving techniques designed to extend therapeutic duration, mitigate ischemia, bridge patients definitive hemorrhage control. We hypothesized that automated pREBOA titration compared with iREBOA would reduce blood loss hypotensive episodes over a 90-minute intervention phase in an uncontrolled liver swine model. METHODS Twenty-four pigs underwent by transection...
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is gaining traction for the management of choledocholithiasis. Liver function tests (LFTs) are often used to determine success ductal clearance, yet impact differing therapeutic interventions, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or LCBDE, have on postprocedure LFT insufficiently described. We hypothesize that these interventions different postoperative profiles. The preprocedural and...
The steep learning curve associated with laparoscopic techniques and limited training opportunities represents a challenge to general surgery resident training. objective of this study was use live porcine model improve surgical in technique management bleeding. Nineteen residents (ranging from PGY 3 5) completed the simulation pre-lab post-lab questionnaires. institution's industry partner served as sponsors educators on hemostatic agents energy devices. Residents had significant increase...
Blunt traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWHs) are rare but require a variety of operative techniques to repair including bone anchor fixation (BAF) when tissue tears off bony structures. This study aimed provide descriptive analysis BAF technique for blunt TAWH repair. Bone and no repairs were compared, hypothesizing increased hernia recurrence with
Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) utility in management of choledocholithiasis may decrease length stay and patient cost, but postoperative remains widely debated. We examined periprocedural LFTs for patients undergoing LCBDE endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) speculating trend existence after successful LCBDE. hypothesized that would not downtrend even ductal clearance. identified 99 under 18 who underwent ERCP or with at least one pre- post-procedural...
Background: Death due to hemorrhagic shock, particularly, noncompressible truncal hemorrhage, remains one of the leading causes potentially preventable deaths. Automated partial and intermittent resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion aorta (i.e., pREBOA iREBOA, respectively) are lifesaving strategies aimed achieve quick hemostatic control while mitigating distal ischemia. In is titrated from full no intermittently, whereas in pREBOA, a maintained. Therefore, these two interventions...
