▪ Objective: To determine whether glutamine-supplemented parenteral nutrition improves nitrogen retention and reduces hospital morbidity compared with standard after bone marrow transplantation. Design: Double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Setting: University teaching hospital. Patients: Forty-five adults receiving allogeneic transplants for hematologic malignancies. Intervention: Parenteral was initiated the day transplantation (day 1). The experimental solution supplemented...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To estimate prevalence, risk factors, and etiology of post-Pfannenstiel pain syndromes. METHODS: All women (n=866) with a Pfannenstiel incision for cesarean delivery or abdominal hysterectomy performed between January 2003 December 2004 received questionnaire evaluating located in the region. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to determine predictors chronic development. Patients moderate severe were interviewed underwent physical examination. RESULTS:...
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is generally neglected as a source of chronic abdominal pain. The aim this study was to evaluate the efficacy diagnostic workup protocol and treatment regimen in patients with suspected ACNES.A cohort all consecutive presenting pain suggestive ACNES between 2003 2008 evaluated retrospectively. Patients were offered single injection 1% lidocaine into trigger point followed by subsequent therapeutic injections including corticosteroids. If...
Abstract Background Chronic postherniorrhaphy pain is diverse in origin. The aim of our study was to classify syndromes following elective inguinal hernia repair. Patients and methods All patients with an repair performed between January 2000 August 2005 received a questionnaire evaluating chronic (visual analog scale, VAS 0–10). moderate severe complaints (VAS score ≥ 3) were invited for interview outpatient department physical examination. Results A total 2,164 cases underwent the...
Objective The authors investigated the effects of exogenous growth hormone (GH) on protein accretion and composition weight gain in a group stable, nutritionally compromised postoperative patients receiving standard hypercaloric nutritional therapy. Summary Background Data A significant loss body impairs normal physiologic functions is associated with increased complications prolonged hospitalization. Previous studies have demonstrated that methods support enhance deposition fat...
In Brief Objective: To clarify the role of a surgical neurectomy on pain in refractory patients after conservatively treated anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). Background: ACNES is hardly ever considered differential diagnosis chronic abdominal pain. Treatment usually conservative. However, symptoms are often recalcitrant. Methods: Patients older than 18 years with were randomized to undergo or sham procedure via an open day care. Both patient and principal investigator...
Pulmonary carcinoids are neuroendocrine tumors histopathologically subclassified into typical (TC; no necrosis, <2 mitoses per 2 mm2) and atypical (AC; necrosis or to 10 mm2). The reproducibility of lung carcinoid classification, however, has not been extensively studied may be hampered by the presence pyknotic apoptosis mimicking mitotic figures. Furthermore, prediction prognosis based on histopathology varies, especially for ACs. We examined interobserver variation between 5 experienced...
Abstract Background Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is hardly considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic abdominal pain. Some even doubt existence such a and attribute reported successful treatment results to placebo effect. The objective was clarify role local anaesthetic injection diagnosing ACNES. hypothesis that pain attenuation following lidocaine would be greater than after saline injection. Methods Patients aged over 18 years with suspected ACNES were...
Patients with chronic abdominal pain occasionally suffer from the anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). A substantial number of patients report previous visits to an emergency department (ED) acute pain. Aim this study was obtain incidence ACNES in presenting ED a Dutch teaching hospital. In observational study, data sets all visiting Máxima Medical Center's (MMC) 2011–2012 were searched for key terms 'ACNES', 'intercostal neuralgia' or 'abdominal wall pain'. Files potential...
Objective: To compare if watchful waiting is noninferior to elective repair in men aged 50 years and older with mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic inguinal hernia. Background: The role of male patients hernia still not well-established. Methods: In this noninferiority trial, we randomly assigned either waiting. Primary endpoint was the mean difference a 4-point pain/discomfort score at 24 months follow-up. Using 0.20-point as clinically relevant margin, it hypothesized that repair. Secondary...
A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed to determine the effect of glutamine (GLN)-enriched intravenous feedings on volume and distribution body fluids in catabolic patients. Subjects with hematologic malignancies remission underwent a standard treatment high-dose chemotherapy total irradiation before bone marrow transplantation. After completion this regimen, they were receive either parenteral nutrition (STD, n = 10) or an isocaloric, isonitrogenous nutrient solution...
Provision of adequate patient information may contribute to a "satisfying" surgical treatment. The patient's views on successful transfer concerning operative characteristics not be in concert with the surgeon's. aim present study was determine opinions both surgeons and patients about issues information.A group (n = 24) 125) responded questionnaire that included 80 topics involving domains disease, physical examination, preoperative period, anesthesia, operation, postoperative self care,...
<h3>Introduction:</h3> The abdominal wall is often neglected as a cause of chronic pain. aim this study was to identify pain syndromes, such anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES), in patient population diagnosed with functional pain, including irritable bowel syndrome, using validated 18-item questionnaire an identification tool. <h3>Methods:</h3> In cross-sectional analysis, 4 Dutch primary care practices employing physicians who were unaware the existence ACNES selected. A...
Background: Results of surgery for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) the lower leg deep posterior are inferior compared with other types CECS. Factors predicting success after unknown. Purpose: To study prognostic value preoperative compartmental pressure curves in patients receiving Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: Intracompartmental pressures (ICPs) CECS were obtained at 4 time points (ie, before, immediately after, and 1 5 minutes a standard exercise...
