appendicitis/hypoxia

Twenty-two observations of acute destructive appendicitis in newborns of 4 to 28 days of age are presented. A marked necrotic component of the inflammation with perforation and partial self-amputation is noted. It is assumed that a combination of general and local factors is important in the

BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis is one of the commonly encountered emergencies in the practice of general surgery but there are no much study regarding the magnitude and its pattern in Ethiopia and in Mekelle hospital in particular. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at assessing the magnitude, pattern

A 40-year-old British man presented to the emergency department for the second time in 10 days following a 2-week holiday in Thailand with malaise, bilateral conjunctivitis and a morbilliform rash. He had previously seen his general practitioner and ophthalmology and was diagnosed with

The clinical, histopathological, and electron microscopic features of an unusual case of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis are reported. The patient, a 37-year-old female, presented with typical signs of acute appendicitis and the appendix appeared slightly dilated at laparatomy. The

Histochemical methods were applied to determination of salomycin, dermatansulfate, keratosulfate and neutral mucopolysaccharides in the goblet cells of rabbit appendix. Sialomycin and neutral mucopolysaccharides were found in the glands. Immunization with human gamma globulin was followed in the

Acute appendicitis is among the most common indications for exploratory laparotomy during pregnancy. Although usually pyogenic in origin, parasitic infections account for a small percentage of cases. We report here the association of pregnancy and appendicitis caused by Schistosoma japonicum.

BACKGROUND Increased local levels of fibrogenic growth hormones contribute substantially to the process of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) in animal models. METHODS We analyzed probes from patients with normal kidney function (n = 10), with normal kidney function and inflammation (n = 10),

Laparoscopy has gained importance in the abdominal emergency surgery field. Acute appendicitis is one of the major indications for emergency surgery, being laparoscopy the gold standard approach. We report a case of a 39-years-old female presenting with acute kidney injury (AKI) after laparoscopy.

The authors describe 11 cases of acute abdomen they observed during a two-year period mainly after abdominal operations. The male/female ratio was 6:5, the mean age 59 years with a range from 20 to 75 years. The mean period which had elapsed after the primary operation was 18.5 days. The authors

Few studies discuss causes and outcomes of peritonitis in low-income settings. This study describes epidemiology of patients with peritonitis at a Rwandan referral hospital. Identification of risk factors associated with mortality and unplanned reoperation could improve management of

As concerns over health care-related harms and costs continue to mount, efforts to identify and combat medical overuse are needed. Although much of the recent attention has focused on health care for adults, children are also harmed by overuse. Using a structured PubMed search and manual tables of

OBJECTIVE Studying influence of remaxol on reparative process of tissue reparation in a laparotomy wound. METHODS 90 patients with the acute appendicitis complicated by local peritonitis in the early postoperative period are examined. 50 patients received traditional therapy. Therapy of other 40

Methemoglobinemia is a rare cause of tissue hypoxia that can quickly become fatal without immediate recognition and prompt treatment. It refers to an increase in methemoglobin in the red blood cells, which can be due to genetic deficiency of the enzymes responsible for reducing hemoglobin or can

OBJECTIVE To study the effectiveness of remaxol in erythrocytes oxygen transport function correction in patients with surgical endotoxicosis. METHODS Two groups of patients (main (n = 25) and comparison (n = 27) groups) with acute appendicitis complicated by peritonitis were compared. All patients

Typical presentations of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) including respiratory symptoms (cough, respiratory distress and hypoxia), fever and dyspnoea are considered main symptoms in adults, but atypical presentation in children could be a diagnostic challenge. We report three children whose
