At examination of 160 patients with acute cholecystitis (ACH) it was stated that on 1st-2nd day after cholecystectomy the patients with complicated course of ACH have had a real increase of levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, homocysteine, metabolites of nitric oxide, indexes of
The epithelial cells from 40 gallbladders showing chronic cholecystitis and five with cholesterolosis were examined by electron microscopy. A number of features of non-specific cytological injury were noted some of which may have been related to the disease and others to anoxia. The basement
BACKGROUND
Epithelial corrective and destructive mechanisms have not been studied in inflammatory gallbladder disease.
METHODS
Epithelial apoptosis, cell proliferation and expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha were compared in gallbladders from patients with acute acalculous
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine if preterm labor is associated with the degree of maternal hypoxia in pregnant women with community-acquired pneumonia but no other maternal diseases.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all antepartum patients admitted with a diagnosis of
Patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis presenting with atherosclerotic affliction of the heart reveal impairement of the mechanism of adaptation. A trigger mechanism in the activation of the hypophysial-adrenal system is, on the hand, a stressful impact on the frontal lobe of hypophysis and
The studies have been performed in 178 patients during and after surgery on the biliary ducts. The patients developed marked hyper-reaction of the sympathoadrenal system, total and regional hemodynamic disturbances, hypoxia, disorders in redox processes and blood viscosity and hypercoagulation. To
Factors that predispose to infection in general, of course, may predispose to infection with anaerobes. Included in this category are diabetes mellitus, neutropenia, hypogammaglobulinaemia, malignancy, splenectomy, collagen vascular disease, cytotoxic drug therapy, corticosteroid therapy and other
The author has studied the main hepatic artery (HA) alterations and liver related disease (LRD) in 80 donors. The normal arterial anatomy with a single HA arising from the celiac trunk was seen in 61% of cases; a left hepatic artery (LHA) off left gastric artery (LGA) in 19% of cases and a right
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
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the complication rates of this procedure in patients aged 90 years and older.
METHODS
A descriptive, prospective study including 42 endoscopic procedures performed from first January 2001 until
Weight loss reduces many of the health hazards associated with obesity including insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, hypoxemia and hypercarbia, and osteoarthritis. Potential adverse effects of weight loss include a greater risk for gallstone formation and
Introduction: Management of acute abdomen during COVID-19 pandemic may be challenging.
Presentation of case: A 42-year old man was hospitalized for Covid-19 pneumonia. Fever,
Abdominal complications after cardiac surgery (excluding "medical" jaundice) are rare. Twenty six cases were observed out of a total of 7 847 operations (0.33%) performed between 1973 and 1980. The causes were very diverse; the most common being gastroduodenal ulceration, usually acute (9 cases).
We designed this study to define determinants of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery. From January 1992 through December 2000, 11,058 patients underwent cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass at our institution. Data were prospectively collected and univariate and multivariate
