Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Umbilical hernia is a common abdominal complication in cirrhotic patients with ascites. Our study aimed to evaluate the correlation of umbilical hernia with the volume of ascites. METHODS Cirrhotic patients that underwent axial abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scans at our hospital

Biostability, inflammatory response, and healing characteristics of a fluoropassivated polyester-knit mesh in the repair of experimental abdominal hernias.

Only registered users can translate articles

The present study was undertaken to validate the benefits of a fluoropolymer treatment on the biostability, inflammatory response, and healing characteristics of a polyester mesh used for hernia repair, the Fluoromesh, as compared to a commercial monofilament-knit polypropylene mesh, Marlex, used as

Different Expression of Extracellular Matrix Genes : Primary vs. Recurrent Disc Herniation.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Recurrent lumbar disc herniation has been reported to occur in 5% to 15% of surgically treated primary lumbar disc herniation cases. We investigated the molecular biologic characteristics of primary herniated discs and recurrent discs to see whether the recurrent discs has the similar

Antenatal dexamethasone enhances surfactant protein synthesis in the hypoplastic lung of nitrofen-induced diaphragmatic hernia in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Teriparatide is a homolog of human parathyroid hormone (1-34), which is approved for the treatment of postmenopausal and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Several minor and transient side effects have been reported for

Comparison of the prevalence of inflammatory cells in subtypes of disc herniations and associations with straight leg raising.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS The prevalence of inflammatory cells in 205 disc herniations (DHs) and nine macroscopically normal discs for comparison was studied immunohistochemically. Inflammatory cells were separately analyzed in subtypes of DH. Immunohistochemical data were related to clinical parameters, the straight

Prenatal presentation of Mabry syndrome with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and phenotypic overlap with Fryns syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on a family in which initial features were compatible with Fryns syndrome. The first sibling was a stillborn female with a left diaphragmatic hernia (DH). Her clinical features overlapped with Fryns syndrome. The second pregnancy, a male fetus, was followed for polyhydramnios, hypoplastic

Inflammatory cells in full-thickness anulus injury in pigs. An experimental disc herniation animal model.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS Inflammatory cells were studied by indirect immunocytochemistry in experimental full-thickness anulus fibrosus lesions in pigs. OBJECTIVE First, to determine the occurrence, by immunocytochemistry, of T lymphocytes and macrophages in experimentally produced, anterolateral full-thickness disc

Resolution of persistent pneumothorax by use of blood pleurodesis in a dog after surgical correction of a diaphragmatic hernia.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 15-kg (33-lb) pregnant female mixed-breed dog of unknown age was referred because of a 10-day history of difficulty breathing. RESULTS Physical examination findings were dyspnea, tachypnea, decreased bronchovesicular sounds (bilateral), muffled heart sounds, and abdominal distention with

Bone scintigraphy in acute intraosseous disc herniation.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 57-year-old woman initially presented with the acute onset of low back pain after gardening. Plain film at that time was reported as showing Scheurmann's disease of the lumbar spine. The pain resolved slowly, but recurred acutely after minimal trauma 5 months later. Bone scintigraphy revealed

CASE 1: A 64-year-old, otherwise healthy woman was referred to the surgery clinic for a presumed umbilical hernia. On physical examination, a cutaneous nodule was noted on the umbilical region and the patient was referred to the dermatology clinic. The patient was reexamined and an erythematous

Characteristics and mechanism of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament in the tip-toe walking Yoshimura (twy) mouse.

Only registered users can translate articles

To elucidate the mechanism of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), we examined the serial changes in the intervertebral disc of tip-toe walking Yoshimura (twy) mouse. At the age of 6 weeks, the volume of the nucleus pulposus increased in all intervertebral discs causing

Metabolic derangements and reduced survival of bile-extracted Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus).

Only registered users can translate articles

Across China and Southeast Asia, an estimated 17,000 bears are currently farmed for bile, primarily for traditional medicines. Depending on country, bile is extracted daily via transabdominal gallbladder fistulas, indwelling catheters, or needle aspiration. Despite claims that bears do

Efficacy and safety of B-mode ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis in elderly and high-risk patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Standards in treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) in the elderly and high-risk patients has not been established. Our study evaluated the efficacy and safety of B-mode ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) in combination with laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Manifestations in a family with autosomal dominant bone fragility and limb-girdle myopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on an unusual family with an autosomal dominant limb-girdle type of myopathy and bone fragility. This family was previously reported by Henry et al. [1958] as autosomal dominant progressive limb girdle "muscular dystrophy" with propensity to fractures and defective healing of long bones.
