SUMMARY Background Pouchitis is the major long‐term complication after ileal‐pouch nal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Ten to 15% of patients develop a chronic pouchitis, either treatment responsive or refractory. Aim To evaluate efficacy oral budesonide in inducing remission and improving quality life with refractory pouchitis. Methods Twenty consecutive active not responding 1 month antibiotic were treated controlled ileal release 9 mg/day 8 weeks. Symptomatic, endoscopic histological...
OBJECTIVE In this study the authors compared anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and posterior transforaminal (TLIF) techniques in a homogeneous group of patients affected by single-level L5–S1 degenerative disc disease (DDD) postdiscectomy syndrome (PDS). The purpose was to analyze perioperative, functional, radiological data between two techniques. METHODS A retrospective analysis patient performed 2015 2018. Patients were clustered into groups (group 1 = ALIF, 2 TLIF) according...
Summary Background Pouchitis is a common long‐term complication after ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Chronic refractory pouchitis treatment‐resistant condition that affects 5–15% of patients. Aim To test the hypothesis small bowel involvement using wireless capsule endoscopy. Material and methods This single‐blind, prospective, cohort study. Twenty‐four patients: 16 were patients with chronic eight, macroscopically histologically normal pouch, considered as control...
We present the case of a man in his 40s who sought medical attention due to central cord syndrome. MRI findings demonstrated contrast uptake, spinal swelling, syrinx formation and narrowing canal. encountered two potential scenarios:when malignancy is suspected, patient would undergo biopsy. However, if lesion ultimately determined be benign, have been subjected an avoidable risk neurological damage associated with procedure. Conversely, addressing as result degenerative process (discal...
The lower limbs are frequently involved in neurovascular compression syndromes, owing to their anatomical, vascular and muscular characteristics the orthostatic position. These syndromes were identified by exclusion, using neuroimaging techniques treated microsurgical techniques.Eight patients with a syndrome due venous lesions (popliteal fossa, proximal medial third of inferior limb, tarsal tunnel) selected. symptomatology was characterized pain, Tinel's sign, hyperalgesia, allodynia,...
Custom-made cranial implants facilitate the surgical reconstruction of destructive pathologies skull or extensive demolitive surgery. Customized cranioplasty allows for an immediate restoration functional integrity defect (restitutio ad integrum), with excellent and esthetic outcome a quick, safe, simple procedure. In this context, bioceramics like hydroxyapatite (HA) claim high biocompatibility bone-binding capability. The osteoconductive properties HA have been reported in animal models...
