There is growing evidence that laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) an effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse and obstructive defaecation caused by rectocele. LVR usually performed using synthetic mesh despite concerns about erosion. We present our experience of a porcine dermal collagen (Permacol™) LVR, which the largest such case series to date.Data on 65 patients were collected prospectively from May 2008 October 2010. Outcome measures complications, recurrence, length hospital...
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition resulting from threatening or horrifying events. We hypothesized that circadian rhythm changes, measured by wrist-worn research watch are predictive of post-trauma outcomes. 1618 patients were enrolled after admission to emergency departments (ED). Three standardized questionnaires administered at week eight measure outcomes related PTSD, sleep disturbance, and pain interference with daily life. Pulse activity movement data...
Many patients in Emergency Departments (EDs) after motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depressive episode (MDE). This report from the AURORA study focuses on associations of pre-MVC sleep problems with these outcomes 8 weeks MVC mediated through peritraumatic distress and dissociation 2-week outcomes. A total 666 completed self-report assessments ED at 2 MVC. Peritraumatic distress, dissociation, characteristics (insomnia, nightmares,...
Abstract Background Racial and ethnic groups in the USA differ prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recent research however has not observed consistent racial/ethnic differences early aftermath trauma, suggesting that such chronic PTSD rates may be related to recovery over time. Methods As part multisite, longitudinal AURORA study, we investigated outcomes within 3 months after trauma. Participants ( n = 930) were recruited from emergency departments across provided periodic...
Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially fatal condition that can affect any part of the body. It occur after trauma, around foreign bodies in surgical wounds, or be idiopathic. We describe case necrotizing involving breast following an initial debridement inflammatory lesion.
Seventeen independent risk factors were examined using multivariate logistic regression analysis to develop a profile of patients most likely at from iatrogenic gall bladder perforation (IGBP) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Since 1989, prospectively maintained database on 856 (women, 659; men, 197) consecutive cholecystectomies by single surgeon (R. J. F.) was analysed. The mean age 48 years (range, 17-94 years). operating time 88 min 25-375 min) and the postoperative stay 1 day 1-24...
Abstract Background This is the first report on association between trauma exposure and depression from A dvancing U nderstanding of R ec O very afte traum (AURORA) multisite longitudinal study adverse post-traumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (APNS) among participants seeking emergency department (ED) treatment in aftermath a traumatic life experience. Methods We focus presenting at EDs after motor vehicle collision (MVC), which characterizes most AURORA participants, examine associations...
Purpose Peripheral artery aneurysms proximal to a long-standing arteriovenous (AV) fistula can be serious complication. It is important aware of this and manage it appropriately. Methods Vascular access nurses input all data regarding patients undergoing dialysis procedures into securely held database prospectively. This was retrospectively reviewed identify cases brachial over the last 3 years. Results In Morriston Hospital, around 200 forearm arm AV fistulas are performed annually for...
The best possible treatment of metastatic high grade large duodenal GIST is controversial. Surgery (with or without segmental organ resection) remains the principal for primary and recurrent GIST. However, patients with advanced have a risk early tumour recurrence short life expectancy.We present case young man treated combined modality surgery imatinib an GIST.He asymptomatic disease free 42 months following this approach.Treatment has dramatically improved outlook advanced, unresectable...
