Peritoneal Tuberculosis Mimicking Peritoneal Carcinomatosis [PDF]

Case Reports in Medicine, 2014
A 67-year-old male presented with fatigue, abdominal pain , and 30-pound weight loss over 3 months. Computerized tomography (CT) abdomen displayed ascites with thickening and enhancement of the peritoneum and mottled nodular appearing as soft tissue consistent with omental caking worrisome for peritoneal carcinomatosis.

International Comparison of Geriatric‐Associated Variables in Major Gastroenterological Surgery Between National Clinical Database and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Geriatric surgical risk factors and outcomes were compared between the US and Japanese databases. Geriatric‐associated preoperative variables and outcomes similarly increased with age. Mobility and functional domains differed between the two databases. ABSTRACT Backgrounds Incidence of malignant disease in older patients has been increasing.

Stump pyometra in a spayed female dog secondary to tamoxifen

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 47-52, January 2023., 2023
A 2‐year‐old spayed female dog treated successfully for sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis for 11 months with tamoxifen, cyclosporine, and a short‐term course of prednisone began developing signs of enlarged vulva and discharge. A stump pyometra was confirmed on ultrasound and computed tomography and exploratory laparotomy was performed to remove the

Peritonitis as a complication of peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1998
Peritonitis continues to be a serious complication for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritonitis is one of the major causes of hospitalization, accounting for 23% of admissions in the CANUSA study (1). Peritonitis is the leading cause of technique failure and catheter loss (2,3). Patients with frequent peritonitis are at increased risk of dying,

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Open, Laparoscopic, and Robot‐Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robot‐assisted rectal resection demonstrated superior short and long‐term outcomes compared to laparoscopic and open approaches. ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted surgery has short‐term benefits in rectal cancer surgery; however, its long‐term advantages remain unclear. This study compared short‐ and long‐term outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot‐

AADNMR: A Simple Method for Rapid Identification of Bacterial/Mycobacterial Infections in Antibiotic Treated Peritoneal Dialysis Effluent Samples for Diagnosis of Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
An efficient method is reported for rapid identification of bacterial or mycobacterial infection in a suspected clinical/biological sample. The method is based on the fact that the ring methylene protons of cyclic fatty acids (constituting the cell membrane of several species of bacteria and mycobacteria) resonate specifically between -0.40 and 0.68 ...

Mesenteric thrombosis: An unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis—Report of two cases

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The incidence of acute pancreatitis is 34 per 100 000 people in the general population and is on the rise. Approximately 15% to 20% of all patients experience severe pancreatitis, with a mortality rate nearing 20%. This condition is often linked to vascular complications, although mesenteric thrombosis is a rare presentation.

New mathematical model for fluid-glucose-albumin transport in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
A mathematical model for fluid transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Non-constant steady-state solutions of the model are studied.
