Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) are invaluable clinical tools that play a role in palliation and nutrition patients with cancer. This study aimed to better understand the risks benefits associated placement maintenance of G-tubes.Patients who underwent G-tube for cancer from January 2013 through December 2017 at tertiary care center were considered inclusion. Clinical data retrospectively collected medical records.A total 242 cancer, whose average age diagnosis was 61 years (range, 21-94 years),...
Abstract We describe successful placement of the Inspiris Resilia aortic valve in pulmonary position. This has advantages for immediate benefit and future percutaneous interventions, making it a promising prosthesis adult congenital patients.
Objective: Psoas muscle size is a reliable marker of sarcopenia and frailty that correlates with adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, its use in mitral minimally invasive surgery lacking. We sought to determine whether frailty, as measured by psoas index, increases surgical risk for valve Methods: Patients undergoing isolated via right minithoracotomy were identified. who underwent maze, tricuspid intervention, those emergent excluded. Total area was calculated using the average...
Abstract Transthoracic echocardiography is the imaging modality of choice for detection coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in Kawasaki disease. However, cardiac computed tomography angiography useful diagnosis distal CAAs.
Background Left innominate vein occlusion is a known complication of pacemaker and central venous catheter placement. For dialysis-dependent patients with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), this can prevent successful hemodialysis may require surgical intervention. Case Report An 8-month-old male was diagnosed hemolytic uremic syndrome became at 11 months age. After multiple vascular access peritoneal dialysis complications, the patient had construction brachiobasalic AVF in his left arm 13...
Background and Objectives: During critical windows of cardiac morphogenesis remodeling, altered intrauterine hemodynamics may lead to congenital heart defects, such as aortic arch abnormalities. We sought investigate the effects diminished flow in fetal aorta understand cause, improved diagnosis, prognosis coarctation (CoA) interrupted (IAA). Methods: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model ductal arches was built based on dynamic 3D/4D spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC)...
Two theories have been implied in the pathogenesis of coarctation aorta (CoA), i.e. diminished flow and ductal tissue growth juxtaductal area. We sought to investigate fetal by 3D/4D echocardiography (FE) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) understand cause improve diagnosis prognosis CoA. Computational model aortic arches was built FE Doppler from normal fetus. Pulsatile hemodynamics, including velocity, pressure gradient, wall shear stress, were stimulated as decreased 100% 80%, 60%, 40%,...
Abstract Context Limited opportunities exist to practice technical skills and be exposed various surgical specialties during preclinical medical education. Objectives To assess the value of workshop-based educational students training. Methods One hundred 75 physician assistant from 10 schools attended 2019 Philadelphia Surgery Conference. All received STOP THE BLEED ® bleeding control training participated in four workshops, chosen a list 23, that demonstrated variety skills. Data...
