To investigate the effects of enhanced recovery (a multimodal perioperative care enhancement protocol) in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery.Consecutive managed under an pathway and cytoreduction, surgical staging, or pelvic organ prolapse surgery between June 20, 2011, December were compared with consecutive historical controls (March to 2010) matched by procedure. Wilcoxon rank-sum, χ, Fisher's exact tests used for comparisons. Direct medical costs incurred first 30 days obtained from...
Among adults undergoing contemporary noncardiac surgery, little is known about the frequency and timing of death associations between perioperative complications mortality. We aimed to establish its association with complications.We conducted a prospective cohort study patients aged 45 years older who underwent inpatient surgery at 28 centres in 14 countries. monitored for until 30 days after determined relation these 30-day mortality using Cox proportional hazards model.We included 40 004...
Stimulated by a recent controversy regarding pressure drops predicted in giant aneurysm with proximal stenosis, the present study sought to assess variability prediction of pressures and flow wide variety research groups. In phase I, lumen geometry, rates, fluid properties were specified, leaving each group choose their solver, discretization, solution strategies. Variability was assessed having interpolate results onto standardized mesh centerline. For II, physical model geometry...
Colonic mobilization requires separation of mesocolon from underlying fascia. Despite the surgical importance planes formed by these structures, no study has formally characterized their microscopic features. The aim this was to determine histological and electron appearance mesocolon, fascia, retroperitoneum, prior after colonic mobilization.In 24 cadavers, samples were taken right, transverse, descending, sigmoid mesocolon. In 12 specimens stained with hematoxylin eosin (3 sections) or...
Data on urethral catheter related injuries are sparse. To highlight the dangers inherent in traumatic catheterization we prospectively monitored incidence, cost and clinical outcomes of injuries.This prospective study was performed during a 6-month period at 2 tertiary referral teaching hospitals. Recorded data included method extent injury, setting time number attempts, urological management provided, additional bed days due to injury after followup. The managing also calculated.A total 37...
To evaluate the pressure range generated in human renal collecting system during ureteroscopy (URS), a large patient sample, and to investigate relationship between intrarenal (IRP) outcome.A prospective multi-institutional study was conducted, with ethics board approval; February 2022-March 2023. Recruitment of 120 consecutive consenting adult patients undergoing semi-rigid URS and/or flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) for urolithiasis or diagnostic purposes. Retrograde, fluoroscopy-guided...
A Spiral Computerized Tomography (CT) scan of the aorta were obtained from a single subject and three model variations examined. Computational fluid dynamics modeling all models showed in velocity contours along aortic arch with differences boundary layer growth recirculation regions. Further down-stream, very similar profiles during maximum occurring decelerating part pulse. Flow patterns transient 3-D computational are influenced by different reconstruction methods pulsatility flow....
Abstract Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are local dilatations of the infrarenal aorta. If left untreated they may rupture and lead to death. One form treatment is minimally invasive insertion a stent-graft into aneurysm. Despite this effective occasionally continue expand eventually result in post-operative Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) particularly useful tool for investigating aneurysm biomechanics as both wall stresses fluid forces can be examined. Methods Pre-op, Post-op...
