Single‐Incision Laparoscopy‐First Strategy in Crohn's Disease: Risk Factors for Conversion and Surgical Outcomes

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this retrospective study of 289 patients with Crohn's disease undergoing a single‐incision laparoscopy‐first (SILS‐first) strategy, conversion to open surgery was required in only 11.8% of cases. Fistula formation, colon resection, and smoking history were identified as independent risk factors for conversion, while postoperative complications and ...

Clinical Outcomes and Patient Experiences With Celiprolol Therapy in Vascular Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome: The First Non‐European Cohort

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in COL3A1. European studies have shown that celiprolol may reduce the risk of life‐threatening vascular events, but outcomes in non‐European populations and the therapy's psychological impact remain unclear. We conducted

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

Preferential vasodilator effects of levosimendan in resistance pulmonary arteries in a rodent pulmonary embolism model

Global Cardiology
Background: We compared the vasoactive effects of levosimendan on isolated conduit pulmonary arteries (CPA) and resistance pulmonary arteries (RPA) versus mesenteric arteries, and we assessed the pulmonary artery (PA) vascular function and the PA ...

TEMPORARY EMBOLISM OF THE MESENTERIC ARTERY [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1913
REPORT OF A CASE The following case ran a peculiarly interesting course and is worthy of note. I use the term "vegetative endocarditis" advisedly, because it was not possible to obtain an autopsy in order to verify the diagnosis of the pathologic condition of the heart. History —Oct. 3, 1912.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome [PDF]

Acta medica Lituanica, 2016
Background. An obstruction of the  distal part of the  duodenum can occur because of the superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) after a surgical correction of scoliosis. It is essential to evaluate the risk factors and diagnose the SMAS in time because complications of this condition are life-threatening and it is associated with a high rate of ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.
