Background The present study demonstrates that the ubiquitin E3 ligase, Pellino-1 (Peli1), is an important angiogenic molecule under control of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 2/Flk-1. We have previously reported increased survivability ischemic skin flap tissue by adenovirus carrying Peli1 (Ad-Peli1) gene therapy in Flk-1+/- mice. Methods and Results Two separate experimental groups mice were subjected to myocardial infarction ( MI ) followed immediate intramyocardial...
Adequate nutrition is challenging after oesophagectomy. A jejunostomy commonly placed during oesophagectomy for nutritional support. However, some patients develop jejunostomy-related complications and the benefit over oral alone unclear. This study aims to assess impact of intraoperative placement on weight loss perioperative outcomes in with oesophageal cancer treated minimally invasive Ivor Lewis (MIE).From a prospectively maintained database, were identified who underwent MIE gastric...
Vaping, the use of electronic cigarettes, involves different mechanics than conventional combustion cigarettes. Consumers who vape tend to overinhale and then forcefully exhale eliminate vapor, which is usually produced in much greater quantity generated by a regular cigarette. Effectively, they are performing an exaggerated Valsalva maneuver. This can increase their risk for developing potential spontaneous pneumomediastinum. Here we present case pneumomediastinum secondary cigarette use.
In May 2004, a 48‐year‐old male surgeon, resident in Bucaramanga, Colombia, suffered superficial cut with scalpel to the lateral aspect of mid‐phalanx second finger left hand while performing pulmonary decortication surgical procedure for tuberculous empyema entrapment. The injury healed normally but, approximately 2 weeks after event, an erythematous, nonpainful papule 3 mm diameter developed, and increased progressively 7 days its initial appearance. At this time, showed spontaneous...
Drainage of the thoracic cavity is a frequent clinical procedure performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Most common indications are related with conditions where air, blood, lymph, pleural fluid, pus, other materials accumulate in chest cavity. It important to know technique tube thoracostomy be familiar more associated complications. We have literature review emphasis on complications insertion intrathoracic tubes. papers encountered retrospective studies context trauma. General...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair by endovascular techniques have gained wide acceptance as a treatment option. A potential well-known complication of includes endoleak. Specifically, type II endoleak, which is described retrograde flow into the sac through collateral vessels, can occur in up to 30% patients. Certain preoperative factors predict patients may develop This article describes laparoscopic inferior mesenteric artery ligation prior abdominal viable option prevention
Background Current practice patterns suggest open rather than minimally invasive (MIS) approaches for thymomas >4 cm. We hypothesized there would be similar perioperative outcomes and overall survival between MIS large (>4 cm) thymoma resection. Methods The National Cancer Database was queried patients who underwent thymectomy from 2010 to 2020. Surgical approach characterized as either or MIS. primary outcome secondary were margin status, length of stay (LOS). Differences cohorts...
Staghorn calculi pose challenges in urology, often necessitating more invasive procedures such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to clear a large stone burden with fewer procedures. Here we present case of 76‐year‐old female chronic kidney disease and malrotated right pelvic who underwent PCNL for 3.5 cm staghorn calculus. Postoperatively, she developed rare complication ascending colon perforation, requiring emergent surgical intervention including exploratory laparotomy hemicolectomy....
Historically, pulmonary resections for lung cancer have been done in an open fashion. With the adoption of VATS, incisions became smaller but challenges such as cost, safety, and quality resection center discussion. However, now we extensive evidence benefit minimally invasive approaches. introduction robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), discussion has gone back to cost main driver. This increased robotic evaluated by multiple studies without a general consensus, given varying...
