1. Aim- To compare the efficacy of albumin when compared to placebo in the development or progression of AKI in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis who are at low risk for AKI development (i.e Serum Bilirubin <4 mg/dL and serum creatinine < 1 mg/dl at presentation)

INTRODUCTION: Secondary bacterial peritonitis, the main infectious complication associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of peritonitis include signs and symtoms: nausea, vomiting hyporexia, diarrea, abdominal pain, fever, cloudy
In recent years, SEMSs have provided an attractive alternative to surgery for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Several studies have assessed the clinical and technical success rates of pyloro-duodenal SEMS for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. Technical success rates of 90% to
BACKGROUND
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a dreaded major complication after colorectal surgery. The overall incidence of anastomotic dehiscence and subsequent leaks is 2 to 7 percent when performed by experienced surgeons. The lowest leak rates are found with ileocolic anastomoses (1 to 3 percent) and
Appendicitis is defined as an inflammation of the inner lining of the vermiform appendix that spreads to its other parts.[1] Features of acute appendicitis include right lower quadrant pain starting from epigastrium or umblical region which then shifts to right iliac fossa, associated with nausea,
Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a spectrum of upper genital tract inflammations comprising endometritis, salpingitis, parametritis, oophoritis, tubo-ovarian abscess and/or pelvic peritonitis. The objectives of administering antimicrobial therapy in patients with PID are to control the symptoms
Ten percent of patients with cirrhosis develop ascites. In 90% of patients, ascites can be treated with diuretics. The management of the remaining 10% with diuretic resistant ascites is challenging. Symptoms including abdominal pain, dyspnoea, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia have a detrimental impact
Refractory ascites is when fluid recurrently accumulates in the peritoneal cavity, as an end result of multiple mechanisms, including liver cirrhosis, peritoneal infiltration by tumor, portal hypertension, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, congestive heart failure, or lymphatic obstruction. It is
Aim & hypothesis:
The aim is to investigate the effect of the same protocol in colorectal surgery and to further delineate the effect on perioperative inflammation, immunosuppression and clinical outcome. This is an original approach, as this protocol was never used in bowel surgery.
The hypothesis
A. Introduction and Review of literature
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is broadly defined as an alteration in mental status and cognitive function occurring in presence of liver failure. The clinical picture of HE arises as a complication of chronic and, more rarely, acute liver disease. HE occurs in
Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common urgent conditions seen in general surgery practice. Complications can be severe and include perforation and generalized peritonitis. Traditionally, surgical appendectomy has been the primary treatment, even in cases of unconfirmed diagnosis,
Even though the incidence of appendicitis has decreased significantly since the advent of antibiotics, the disease process is still quite ubiquitous in many patient populations. The incidence of appendicitis in women over 20 and under 50 years of age is significant. The annual incidence of
Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that proliferates when normal colonic flora have been altered, most commonly due to antibiotic use. Clostridium difficile is non-invasive and localized to the lumen of the colon. Once established, it produces 2 potent toxins, A and B. The principal reservoir for
