Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a syndrome characterized by recurrent clinical episodes of obstruction in the absence any mechanical cause occluding gut.There are multiple causes related to this rare syndrome.Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) one primary CIPO.MNGIE caused mutations gene encoding thymidine phosphorylase.These lead an accumulation and deoxyuridine blood tissues these patients.Toxic levels nucleosides induce mitochondrial DNA...
Abstract Introduction The open abdomen (OA) procedure is a useful resource in critical situations. Its use has increased significantly since the development of negative pressure therapy (NPT) and implementation specific protocols. Methods Retrospective descriptive study third level hospital between January 2015 December 2022. All patients who required OA were included. Results 92 (68 men, 24 women) underwent surgery, with mean age 65 years, 65.3% ASA 3-4. Although there multiple indications...
Abstract Introduction Patients undergoing bariatric surgery have comorbidities and risk factors that increase the likelihood of incisional hernias. Bladeless trocars are safe not very harmful, so we opted to close them due difficulty they present in these patients. Methods Observational, descriptive, longitudinal, retrospective study patients who underwent by laparoscopy with 12mm without a blade or fascial closure between January 2015 July 2016. Data on factors, pain scale, ultrasound ports...
Abstract Introduction Peritoneal dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy that improves quality life and empowers patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. The best method peritoneal catheter (PDC) placement remains to be defined. Methods Retrospective observational study from October 2019 March 2023, aiming analyse the results this new technique for PDC in our centre. Results consisted 45 patients, 66.7% whom were men. comprised being mean age was 57 years, BMI 27.9 kg/m2, 82.8%...
This study aims to investigate the differential miRNA expression profile between visceral white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of people with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery. Skeletal samples 10 controls 38 (50% also type 2 diabetes) surgery were collected. profiles analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing subsequently validated RT-PCR. Approximately 69% miRNAs showed similar in both tissues, however, 55 preferentially expressed 53 muscle. miR-122b-5p was uniquely identified...
Peritoneal dialysis has been used in the treatment of end-stage renal disease for a long time. The development continuous ambulatory peritoneal (CAPD) achieved an acceptable device replacement therapy.We report 55 year-old patient who was initiated on CAPD February 2016. Three months later, Tenckhoff catheter removed due to its malfunction, and new self-locating placed left side abdomen. In September 2016, presented with symptoms intestinal obstruction. A CT scan revealed collapsed sigmoid...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is supported by clinical practice published series as a fundamental treatment for increasing survival of selected patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. The results were evaluated since having implemented oncological program five years ago.
