Abstract Background Diverticulosis of the small bowel is rare and, in most cases, discovered incidentally. However, diverticulitis and other complications are important to consider differential an acute abdomen, especially elderly population. Case presentation The patient was a 59-year-old female who presented with lower abdominal pain progressing peritonitis. Computed tomography scan showed large inflamed perforated diverticulum on mesenteric side jejunum. Exploratory laparotomy revealed...
Background: Management of pilonidal sinus (PNS) disease has changed notably in the past decade, with introduction novel surgical techniques and technological innovation. In this study, we summarized our initial experience laser-assisted closure (SiLaC) disease. Methods: A retrospective analysis a prospective database all patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery combined laser therapy for PNS between September 2018 December 2020 was performed. Patients' demographics, clinical...
Introduction: Emergency departments (EDs) during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are perceived as possible sources of infection. The effects COVID-19 on patients presenting to hospital with surgical complaints remain uncertain. Methods: A single tertiary center retrospective study analysis compared ED attendance rate and severity between March 2020 (COVID-19 outbreak) pre-COVID-19 periods: February same 2 months in 2018. Results: Overall, 6,017 were included. mean...

We sought to determine the cost and success of implementation a podcast surgical department in large academic hospital.We created series Israeli students during COVID-19 epidemic based on Medical Student Core Curriculum American College Surgeons / Association Surgical Education. Episodes were available free download or streaming designated website popular platforms. Podcast...
Background: Obesity among kidney transplant (KT) recipients can lead to metabolic comorbidity-associated deaths. This study compares post-KT survival between obese and non-obese patients outcomes of living donor (LD) deceased (DD) grafts. Methods: Between January 2005−May 2019, 1403 KT from a single center were included in the study, as well 314 (22.4%) with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2), 137 DD transplants, 177 LD transplants. Of 1089 (77.6%) control group ≤ 384 transplants 705 The Kaplan−Meier...
Clinical islet allotransplantation has been successfully regulated as tissue/organ for transplantation in number of countries and is recognized a safe efficacious therapy selected patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, the United States, FDA considers pancreatic islets biologic drug, not yet shifted from experimental to clinical arena last 20 years. In order transplant islets, requires valid Biological License Application (BLA) place. The BLA process costly lengthy. despite...
This study aimed to evaluate whether the BETA-2 score is a reliable early predictor of graft decline and loss insulin independence after islet allotransplantation. Islet transplant procedures were stratified into 3 groups according clinical outcome: long-term without (group 1, N = 9), initial with subsequent 2, 13), no 3, 13). was calculated on day 75 multiple times afterwards for up 145 months posttransplantation. A cut-off 17.4 posttransplantation discerned between group 1 2 (area under...
Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is an effective treatment option for non-diabetic patients intractable chronic pancreatitis. The outcome and potential benefits pre-diabetic diabetic are less well established. Thirty-four underwent TPIAT were retrospectively divided into 3 groups according to pre-operative glycemic control: diabetes mellitus (DM) (n=5, 15%), pre-DM (n=11, 32%) non-DM (n=18, 54%). Pre-operative fasting c-peptide was detectable similar in all groups....
A recent randomized, multicenter trial did not show benefit of a CXCR1/2 receptor inhibitor (Reparixin) when analysis included marginal islet mass (>3,000 IEQ/kg) for allotransplantation and immunosuppression regimens were standardized among participating centers. We present post-hoc patients from our center at the University Chicago who received an over 5,000 IEQ/kg regimen anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction. Twelve (ITx) recipients randomized (2:1) to receive Reparixin (N = 8) or...
To evaluate visual and surgical outcomes in very elderly patients (above 85 years of age) undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).A single-center, retrospective study was carried out on the medical records 82 aged older who had undergone PPV from 2006 to 2013. Patients ranged age 86 99 years, with a mean 88.9 (±2.88). Visual results intraoperative postoperative complications were main outcome measures. improvement/worsening defined as at least ±0.1 logMAR change.Mean follow-up 7.25 months...
