Acute appendicitis is a local intestinal inflammation with unclear origin. The aim was to test whether bacteria in differ composition found caecal biopsies from healthy and disease controls.We investigated sections of 70 appendices using rRNA-based fluorescence situ hybridisation. Four hundred 400 faecal samples patients inflammatory bowel other conditions were used as controls. A set 73 group-specific bacterial probes applied for the study.The mucosal surface catarrhal showed characteristic...
OBJECTIVE To explore relationships among sleep disturbances, glucose tolerance, and pregnancy outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Four validated questionnaires were administered to 169 pregnant women at the time of 50-g oral tolerance testing (OGTT) during second trimester. Pregnancy outcomes analyzed in 108 with normal (NGT). RESULTS Of participants, 41% had excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS] >8); 64% poor quality; 25% snored frequently; 29% increased risk...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to report the results of first consensus paper among international experts in uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UniVATS) lobectomy obtained through a Delphi process, objective which define and standardize main procedural steps, optimize its indications perioperative management identify elements assist future training. METHODS The 40 members working group were convened organized on voluntary basis by Uniportal VATS Interest Group (UVIG) European...
Complete thymectomy (Thx) is a crucial part of treatment for myasthenia gravis (MG) and thymoma. The discussion about the necessity radical, complete Thx reduced invasiveness has led to no less than 14 different surgical approaches Thx. latest development robotic‐assisted surgery. Though its impact on minimally invasive surgery not yet clear, it seems be most promising in remote, narrow anatomical regions like mediastinum. One hundred six consecutive thymectomies (rThx) with da Vinci robotic...
Questionnaire studies linked symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to the risk gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Whether this association is present when OSA assessed objectively by polysomnography not known.The objective study was assess relationship between pregnancy, OSA, and GDM.We conducted observational case-control using in 15 nonpregnant, nondiabetic women (NP-NGT), pregnant with normal glucose tolerance (P-NGT), GDM (P-GDM). The groups were frequency matched for age...
Purpose We set up a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of telerobotic surgery using da Vinci system for several procedures which traditional laparoscopy (or thoracoscopy) is standard approach in single institution. Methods performed fundoplications (hiatal hernia repair and antireflux surgery, n=112), upside-down stomach (14), cholecystectomy (16), gastric banding (3), colectomy (5), esophagectomy (4), sub/total gastrectomy (2), gastrojejunostomy along with thymectomy (100), thoracic...
Abstract Background Mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma is a frequent cause of persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism, traditionally treated by open surgery. Thoracoscopic access associated with reduced morbidity in mediastinal The aim this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness robot-assisted dissection for glands. Methods Two patients secondary hyperparathyroidism three complicated primary were operated on between July 2004 August 2008 Fusion single-photon...
Abstract: Nearly six years since inception, uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become a growing part of major lung resections and revolutionized the way surgeons treat pulmonary lesions. This technique is being touted for various benefits. It ensures direct visualization together with better exposure allows chance digital palpation lesion through small incision. Postoperative pain reduced due to involvement only one intercostal space without rib spreading muscle disruption....
In this article, we propose a comprehensive computational model of the entire respiratory system, which allows simulating patient-specific lungs under different ventilation scenarios and provides deeper insight into local straining stressing pulmonary acini. We include novel 0D inter-acinar linker elements to respect interplay between neighboring alveoli, an essential feature especially in heterogeneously distended lungs. The is applicable healthy diseased lung geometries. Presented...
During the past several years minimally invasive thoracic surgery has evolved from thoracoscopic approaches using 3–4 ports to a single incision video-assisted (VATS) techniques (1-3). Recently, experience acquired with uniportal VATS technique through intercostal space allowed development of use subxiphoid or subcostal approach for major pulmonary resections (4,5).
<b>Background</b> Thymectomy is an essential component in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) and best for localized thymoma. Minimally invasive thymectomy has advanced to include robotic-assisted techniques. The acceptance this approach growing rapidly, while debate on adequate technique remains open. <b>Methods</b> We describe its modifications. worldwide registries literature are reviewed. experience from largest single-center database analyzed. <b>Results</b> unilateral three-trocar...
Neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (nRCT) followed by surgery has become the gold standard treatment in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. The pathological response is an important predictor such patients. This work represents a single-center analysis investigating impact of complete (pCR) on outcome.All treated nRCT between January 2005 and December 2015 were reviewed. categorized into two groups according to following nRCT: pCR group non-pCR group.Fifty-six invasive cancer, 23...
Background: Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has seen increasing interest in the last few years, with most procedures primarily being performed conventional multiport manner. Our team developed a new approach that potential to convert surgeons from uniportal video-assisted (VATS) or open robotic-assisted surgery, uniportal-RATS (U-RATS). We aimed evaluate outcomes of one single incision, (OSI-RATS) against standard RATS (M-RATS) regards safety, feasibility, surgical technique,...
Background: Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by alveolar wall destruction, leading to impaired gas exchange. Giant bullous emphysema (GBE) severe form of emphysema, often requiring surgical intervention. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) minimally invasive approach for various thoracic pathologies, including volume reduction (LVRS) and bullectomy emphysematous bullae. Uniportal VATS (U–VATS), further refinement, offers benefits such as reduced postoperative pain...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: Postcesarean endometritis and wound infection remain significant morbidities, despite use of strategies to prevent these complications. We investigated the effect preoperative vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine as a preventive intervention against postcesarean infection. METHODS: A randomized controlled study was performed in 308 women undergoing nonemergent cesarean delivery. Subjects received either standard abdominal scrub alone or an additional solution. All...
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate if the efficacy and safety chest tube placement are influenced by level intercostal space insertion (uniportal VATS vs. biportal VATS) or type drain employed (standard smart coaxial drain). Methods: Data on patients who underwent either uniportal upper lobectomies with lymphadenectomy were prospectively collected in three European centers. group a 28 Fr standard (U-VATS standard) was compared smart), U-VATS also inserted VIII (Bi-VATS smart)....
