Laparoscopic Methylene Blue Photodynamic Therapy for Intraabdominal Infection: A Preclinical Feasibility Study in a Rabbit Model of Perforated Appendicitis

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

Abdominal Angina Treated by Urgent Percutaneous Angioplasty: An Excellent Alternative to Surgical Revascularisation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia (CMI) presenting as acute abdomen can be treated percutaneously. An endovascular intervention has surpassed surgical revascularization over the past decade due to its lesser perioperative complication rate.

Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Independent Risk Factors for Postoperative Intestinal Obstruction and Clinical Outcomes in Simultaneous Pancreas‐Kidney Transplantation Recipients

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Intestinal obstruction (IO) is an important but underexplored complication following simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPKT) and is associated with considerable morbidity and both clinical and economic burdens. In this single‐center cohort study, perioperative parameters, including demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and ...

A catastrophic confluence: Concurrent subarachnoid haemorrhage and acute mesenteric ischaemia

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are life‐threatening emergencies with diametrically opposed treatment requirements regarding anticoagulation. This report describes a rare, complex case where both conditions occurred simultaneously, creating a significant therapeutic dilemma. Case presentation A 64‐

Integration of Clinical Risk Factors With Radiological Metrics Associated With PSH: The Impact of Stoma Site Features, Obesity and Muscle Atrophy

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine our incidence of parastomal hernia (PSH) after end colostomy formation and to integrate clinical and novel computed tomography (CT)‐derived stoma‐site risk factors. Methods We performed a retrospective study of adults undergoing operations resulting in permanent end colostomy at Dunedin Hospital, New Zealand (2009–2022), who ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Acute mesenteric ischemia diagnosed via computed tomography in a dog following vehicular blunt force trauma: a Case Report

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) refers to a group of vascular disorders that disrupt intestinal blood flow, resulting in intestinal ischemia and necrosis if left untreated. In both humans and dogs, this condition appears to be rare but deadly.

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.
