Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment encountered worldwide. The aetiology can be related to repetitive exposure vibrations or forceful angular motions, genetic predisposition, injury and specific conditions, such as diabetes, pregnancy morbid obesity. This entity observed with increased frequency in females elderly. diagnosis largely clinical suspected when patients present typical symptoms numbness, tingling, nocturnal paraesthesia and/or neuritic...

Abstract The major mechanisms of gallstone formation include biliary cholesterol hypersecretion, supersaturation and crystallization, mucus gel bile stasis. Gallbladder hypomotility seems to be a key event that triggers the precipitation microcrystals from supersaturated lithogenic bile. Telocytes, new type interstitial cells, have been recently identified in many organs, including gallbladder. Considering telocyte functions, it is presumed these cells might involved signalling processes....

Abstract Background Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) play an important role in the regulation gut motility. There is growing evidence that interstitial Cajal‐like (ICLCs) are present gallbladder wall. We hypothesize changes density ICLCs wall may lead to development cholelithiasis due impairment The purpose this study was identify gallbladders patients with gallstones and assess their densities. Methods Data from 30 25 individuals without were compared. Tissue samples obtained during...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine whether esophageal varices (EV) can be identified through the evaluation spleen stiffness (SSM) via acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI). A total 135 patients suffering from cirrhosis underwent a clinical exam, laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound, liver (LSM) measurement, SSM and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Based on endoscopy results, were classified into three groups: those with no evident EV, small EV needing treatment (VNT)....

It has been reported that intake of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduces the risk coronary heart disease. also influences bile composition, decreasing biliary cholesterol saturation in patients with gallstones. In addition to composition disturbances, gallbladder hypomotility must be a cofactor pathogenesis cholelithiasis, as it leads prolonged nucleation phase. Our current knowledge about motility enhanced by study population newly described interstitial (stromal) cells-telocytes...

Coeliac trunk (CT) is the first major visceral branch of abdominal aorta. The aim this work was to present CT division pattern and its anatomical variants in a sample Polish population.Coeliac dissection performed 50 adult cadavers Department Anatomy, Jagiellonian University Medical College. Cadavers subjects were included. with previous upper surgery, trauma, disease process that distorted arterial anatomy or signs putrefaction excluded. variations, accessory vessels, vertebral level origin...

The aim of this study was to assess the presence interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs) in human gallbladder and determine their distinctive characteristics on basis double immunohistochemical staining. Gallbladder specimens were obtained from 30 patients subjected elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease. Tissue samples fixed 4% phosphate-buffered paraformaldehyde, processed, embedded paraffin, and, after sectioning, routinely stained with HE. antigens...

The aim of this study was to assess the presence interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs) in human gallbladder and determine their distinctive immunophenotypic characteristics on basis double immunohistochemical staining. Gallbladder specimens investigated were derived from patients (8 males, mean age 51.9±10.7 y; 22 females, 52.9±15.1 y) subjected elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease. Tissue samples fixed 4% phosphate-buffered paraformaldehyde, processed...

The autonomic innervation of the uterus is involved in multiple pathophysiological processes both humans and animals. Pathological conditions such as adenomyosis or inflammatory pelvic disease are usually accompanied by significant alterations uterine innervation. In current study, we focused on fibroids, identification recently described interstitial cells, telocytes, possible interplay between these structures. this work, telocytes were identified immunopositivity for c-kit, CD34, PDGFRα....

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition in adults with an estimated prevalence of up to 5% the general population. The presence persistent median artery important consideration for plastic and orthopedic surgeons who frequently perform carpal release. This may persist into adulthood constitute significant supply blood hand, sometimes compressing nerve. In this case series, we describe identified intraoperatively Polish subjects undergoing surgical open data regarding were retroactively...

Gall-stone disease constitutes a serious clinical problem and is the most frequent cause of elective cholecystectomies. There are many etiopatogenic factors however; lithogenic bile its stasis due to gall-bladder hypomotility seem be important. In recent years discovery pacemaker function Interstitial Cells Cajal changed our understanding smooth muscle physiology helped disclose gastrointestinal motility disorders.was identification quantification interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs) in...

Abstract The aim of this study was to visualize and describe the vascular architecture vaginal supravaginal parts human uterine cervix. Uteri collected at autopsy ( n = 42) were perfused via afferent vessels with fixative followed by Mercox resin. After polymerization resin, corrosion performed. obtained casts cervix, visualizing all including capillaries, examined using scanning electron microscopy. Both in four distinct zones distinguished – outer zone containing large arteries veins,...

Background: The aim of the current study was to analyse extra- and intracerebral course recurrent artery Heubner (RAH) provide detailed information for neurosurgeons operating in this area. Materials methods: material obtained from cadavers (ages 31–75 years) during routine autopsies. A total 70 human brains (39 male 31 female) were examined. collected not later than 48 h post-mortem. People who died due neurological disorders includedinto study. Right after dissection arteries perfused with...

Abstract Background Laparoscopic surgery has become the standard treatment for colorectal cancer. A tumor that does not involve serosa is invisible intraoperatively, and manual palpation of during laparoscopy possible. Therefore, accurate localization neoplastic infiltrate remains one most important tasks prior to elective laparoscopic surgery. The aim this study was evaluate utility a magnetic endoscopic imaging (MEI) precise preoperative within large bowel. Materials methods enrolled 246...

In many countries, colonoscopies for colorectal cancer screening are performed without sedation due to the cost. Changes in structure of endoscopes designed facilitate colonoscopic examination, reduce duration procedure, and improve imaging intestinal lumen. The variable stiffness endoscope recently introduced responsive insertion technology (RIT) features aimed at easing colonoscope reducing discomfort pain during examination. aim study is analyze whether new RIT system can practice...

During the time of organ harvest, it is crucial for kidney procurement team to consider significant vascular anatomical variations. Multiple renal arteries are not uncommon, and unintentional injury can result in an irreversibly damaged graft that needs be discarded. We present a with 5 single vein was successfully procured implanted good function at discharge 4-yr follow-up. According literature, additional found about 33% kidneys. This first study on published especially context transplantation.

Macroscopic real-time evaluations of the histopathology and degree invasion colorectal polyps help to select most suitable endoscopic treatment method. Dual-focus (DF) narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a new enhancement system that uses digital optical methods enhance view blood vessels on mucosal surfaces. However, superiority this technique over standard techniques has not been previously reported. The aim study was determine whether two-stage systems in generation endoscopes will increase...
