Objective The study aims to investigate the long-term impacts of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in pediatric adult mice, specifically focusing how age-at-injury influences these processes.. Methods Controlled cortical impact (CCI) was used induce TBI (21-25 days old) (8-12 weeks C57Bl/6 male mice.Neuroinflammation evaluated through immunoreactivity for Iba-1 GFAP, while assessed using markers such as Bax, Bcl-2, pro-caspase-3.Additionally, HSP70...
Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis. The only potentially curative treatment option surgical resection, however recurrence common. Biomarkers to detect minimal residual disease, assist risk stratification, relapse and real time monitoring, are required. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) a promising liquid biopsy biomarker for solid tumors. However, their role in monitoring pancreatic remains be determined. Our study aimed investigate whether...
In Brief Study Design. Eighteen human torsos were used in three experiments (A, B, and C) to determine the changes sagittal motion due different sequences of surgical releases. Objectives. To investigate relative effects releasing intervertebral disc, costosternal joint, sternum, facet joints on thoracic consequences altering sequence Summary Background Data. The biomechanics spine are from cervical lumbar particularly ribs which contribute stability control motion. role sternum articulation...
Abstract Background Curative oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer is associated with considerable potential mortality. Surgeons are increasingly treating older patients presenting as the population ages. The question remains to survival in an group, many of whom not fit combined multimodal therapy. This study aimed assess effect age on overall and disease‐free undergoing curative cancer. Methods Patient data were analysed from a prospectively maintained database. Demographic, surgical...
The adrenal gland is a common site of metastasis due to its rich blood supply. Adrenalectomy typical treatment in the management oligometastatic disease. We present an unexpected finding cytomegalovirus (CMV)-related adrenalitis mimicking metastasis. A 54-year-old female was reviewed with history BRCA2-mutated, hormone receptor-positive invasive ductal cancer right breast diagnosed 12 years prior. Surveillance fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) demonstrated new focus...
Abstract Purpose There is an abundance of online information related to bariatric surgery. Patients may prefer a specific type surgery based on what they read online. The primary aim this study was determine search trends in over time Australia and worldwide. secondary establish relationship between public activity the types performed Australia. Materials Method terms “adjustable gastric band,” “sleeve gastrectomy,” “gastric bypass surgery” were submitted for volume analysis worldwide using...
We report two cases of total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction that required future endoscopic surveillance the duodenum. As such, an additional proximal duodenojejunostomy was fashioned to facilitate surveillance.
Aims Peptic ulcer disease represents a leading cause of non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding (NVGIB). With an increasing elderly population, the prevalence sarcopenia is rising. Although known to influence prognosis various diseases, its association with clinical outcomes peptic (PUB) has not been extensively studied. This study aims investigate correlation between and PUB, as determined by psoas muscle index (PMI).
Internal pancreatic fistula occurs due to the disruption of duct, resulting in communication with it and another epithelial surface. A rare variant is pancreaticopleural pancreaticogastric fistula, typically associated chronic necrotising pancreatitis, from posterior duct. It a complex disease different aetiologies, varied clinical presentations multiple management options. Unlike postoperative internal lacks guidelines for classification management. Once an suspected, further imaging...
Abstract Background Socioeconomic status (SES) affects outcomes following surgery for various cancers. There are currently no Australian studies that examine the role of socioeconomic disadvantage on oesophagectomy cancer. This study assessed whether SES was associated with short‐term perioperative morbidity, long‐term survival, and oncological across three tertiary oesophageal cancer centres in Australia. Methods A retrospective cohort performed comprising all patients who underwent...
Aims A novel endoscopic hemostatic powder (UI-EWD/Nexpowder, Nextbiomedical, Incheon, South Korea) was applied for the control of Acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Although UI-EWD has been demonstrated to be effective in hemostasis upper-GIB, it is still unclear lower-GIB. The aim this study evaluate efficacy and safety Lower-GIB.
The incidence of adenocarcinoma the distal oesophagus (DO) and gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) are increasing. They may represent differing disease processes. This study aimed to assess clinicopathological survival differences between patients with DO GOJ adenocarcinomas.Data were extracted from a prospective single-surgeon database consecutive undergoing an open Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy for oesophageal (distal oesophagus, Siewert type I II). Differences in characteristics evaluated...
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastro-oesophageal disease (GORD) result from the of gastric contents. The post-reflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave (PSPW) is an oesophageal reflex that facilitates chemical clearance contents following events. PSPW index a novel parameter has been validated in assessing effectiveness GORD, but not LPR. This study aimed to assess LPR GORD by measuring indices consecutive series patients.Reviewers blindly analysed off-therapy impedance-pH tracings 187...
Objectives Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) shows promise in investigating reflux disease by reflecting esophageal mucosal integrity. This study aimed to measure MNBI both conventional and simple methods patients with laryngopharyngeal (LPR) gastroesophageal (GERD) order evaluate the efficacy of measurement method. Methods Altogether 187 were divided into LPR (n = 105) or GERD 82) groups according their predominant symptom profile, underwent off‐therapy impedance‐pH monitoring. was...
Seafood is one of the common causes food allergies to adults. The sea hare Aplysia kurodai a marine mollusk which belongs invertebrate gastropod that has been consumed as in Korea. Cases acute toxic hepatitis after ingestion hares have reported, but few cases allergic reactions reported literature. A 33-year-old man was referred our Emergency Department due urticaria and periorbital/perioral swelling eating hares. Approximately 10 years ago, he experienced similar it. Skin prick intradermal...
Background: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) disease and gastroesophageal (GERD) occur due to gastric refluxate causing symptoms in the laryngopharynx oesophagus, respectively. Baseline impedance of esophageal mucosa has been shown reduce with prolonged acid exposure. Mean nocturnal baseline (MNBI) is a novel measure that promise GERD but not yet evaluated LPR. This study aimed assess role MNBI LPR patients. Methods: Off-therapy impedance-pH tracings were blindly reviewed for 187 patients...
We evaluated the prognoses of finger tip injury cases using a post card questionnaire to estimate sensitivity stump, their status on daily use external appearance and patients satisfaction with treatment.Twenty-one (70%) 30 replied questions naire. Eleven had been treated conservatively (using aluminium foil), 5 stump plasties homodigital neuro-vascular island flaps (modified Kutler's method). The follow-up periods were 2 years 4 months, 3 1 month, 8 months respectively.Regarding sensation,...
