Abstract Body figure preferences were examined in a sample of 180 women 18 to 59 years old. Participants presented with Fallon and Rozin's (1985) set 9 silhouette drawings ranging from very thin heavy. Women all ages rated their current as significantly larger than ideal figure, indicating the presence body dissatisfaction across life span. The degree did not vary age, marital status, educational level, or occupational status. However, contrast younger women's responses results previous...
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the correlates weight concern across life-span. Method Questionnaires assessing concern, self-esteem, and feminist attitudes were completed in their homes by 180 women aged between 18 60 years. Results It found that there a negative relationship self-esteem for 30 49-year-old women, but not younger or older women. A similar pattern held attitudes. Among strong orientation related lesser with weight. Discussion concluded meaning experience...
Abstract Background Textbook outcomes are composite outcome measures that reflect the ideal overall experience for patients. There many of these in elective surgery literature but no textbook have been proposed patients following emergency laparotomy. The aim was to achieve international consensus amongst experts and best Outcomes non-trauma trauma Methods A modified Delphi exercise undertaken with three planned rounds regarding based on category, number importance (Likert scale 1–5)...
Idiopathic acute pancreatitis is diagnosed in approximately 10–30 % of cases pancreatitis. While there evidence to suggest that the cause many these patients microlithiasis, this fact has not been translated into a resource efficient treatment strategy proven reduce recurrence rates. The aim study was examine value prophylactic cholecystectomy following an episode with no history alcohol abuse and stones found on ultrasound. This retrospective 2236 who presented regional Australian hospital....
Background Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a high‐risk procedure. Australian hospitals perform relatively low volume of PD. This study sought to gain an understanding hospital and short‐term outcomes the procedure in state Victoria. Methods The Dr Foster Quality Investigator tool was used interrogate Victorian Admitted Episodes Database for Classification Health Intervention code PD (30584) from July 2010 June 2016. data set included patients peer group 14 that all public performing during...
Hepatic resection is a relatively young and complex specialized procedure. A strong relationship between volume perioperative mortality has been reported internationally. However, there no multicentre study into hepatic in Australia. This retrospective, population-based cohort was conducted to determine national, state territory based rates (POMRs).Australian Institute of Health Welfare data interrogated for the Australian Classification Intervention codes defined as extended...

BackgroundThe data within the Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM) provides a unique opportunity to consider contributing factors perioperative deaths as determined by peer review. Consideration mortality after hepatectomy can provide greater insight into how be prevented. The objective this study was determine reasons for patient post-hepatectomy in Australia.MethodsANZASM from 1 January 2010 30 Jun 2017 reviewed all following were selected analysis. Assessors...
Perforation is the rarest complication of duodenal diverticulum but also one its most serious complications. Mortality rate was reported to up 30%. Clinical diagnosis usually vague and non-specific. High clinical suspicion important as rapid deterioration likely. Consensus regarding management lacking currently guided by a small series case reviews. Surgical treatment historically standard therapeutic option. However, more current literature suggests improvement in patients with non-surgical...
Abstract Background The glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test is a venous blood used as diagnostic for diabetes mellitus and to monitor glucose control in patients known have diabetes. has been recommended by National Institute Health Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guidelines the pre-operative setting since 2016. purpose of testing reduce perioperative morbidity mortality optimising management levels period. aim this study was assess prognostic value HbA1c pancreatic cancer treated with...
Abstract Background Portal vein resection (PVR) with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is often performed to achieve clear margins for patients vascular involvement in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, there evidence suggest that undergoing PVR have more advanced cancers, therefore the impact of on survival and recurrence remains unclear. The aim this study assess overall (OS) free (RFS) who underwent during PD, particular attention margin positivity. Methods A retrospective...
Abstract Background Malignant melanoma is known to metastasise the liver. In absence of any other disease spread it prudent resect these lesions. This case highlights how certain pathology can masquerade as liver metastases. Here we present a gentleman previously diagnosed with malignant in 2016. He had previous resection for metastatic 2017. Surveillance MRI picked up what was assumed be further deposit right lobe Patient underwent resection, and subsequent histological analysis has shown...
Abstract Background Isolated metastatic disease within the pancreas is an uncommon finding. The potentially higher perioperative risk and low incidence of resectable metastases has limited development evidence based guidelines for pancreatic metastectomy. However, reports in literature suggest a considered approach to resecting patients with disease, favourable tumour type significant free interval. aim this study was examine indications outcomes resection non-pancreatic, non-neuroendocrine...
Abstract Background Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal tumours with a five-year survival rate less than 7% for all stages. However, current evidence suggests neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) may have benefits in those borderline resectable disease. Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) potential complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and associated long-term morbidity. The developing POPF post-PD receiving NAT currently unclear. Methods Patients undergoing PD...
Abstract Background The use of EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) guided drainage with endoscopic LAMS (lumen apposing metal stent) necrosectomy is an emerging treatment option for walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) secondary to acute severe pancreatitis. It can delay or remove the need surgical necrosectomy, which be associated high morbidity and mortality. However, approach not always successful due a multitude factors salvage transgastric performed using tract created by achieve internal...
