OBJECTIVE
Early nutrition has been evaluated and used as a possible strategy to decrease the negative impact of the metabolic response to injury and postoperative ileus. The metabolic response to injury, be it surgical or traumatic, is a physiological mechanism that, according to the magnitude and
OBJECTIVE
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has had limited adoption in laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR), and the extent of gastric ileus shortly after LVR remains unknown. This study was designed to assess the degree of gastric emptying shortly after LVR within an ERAS
We report herein the case of an 81-year-old woman found to have small intestinal carcinoma producing carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9, in whom recurrence on the abdominal wall was strongly suspected 4 months after resection. She presented to our hospital with acute abdominal pain with severe anemia.
1. The mucus glycoproteins in meconium from normal infants and from infants having cystic fibrosis with meconium ileus have been studied. 2. Whereas normal meconium contained about 50% protein-bound carbohydrate, the meconium from cystic fibrosis contained only about 10%. 3. Glycopolypeptides were
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor can suppress postprandial hyperglycemia by delaying the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, and may be useful in obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and preserved insulin secretion. We encountered an obese elderly patient with
The case-study reminds of adenocarcinoma of the small intestine as a rare complication of Crohn's disease. A few more than 100 of these cases have been published. Epidemiological studies concerning small bowel carcinoma showed consumption of sugar and carbohydrates as pathogenetic factors, other
BACKGROUND
Radical cystectomy (RC) remains a morbid procedure. The use of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways has proven to reduce care time and post-operative complications after colorectal surgery. There is a high potential for reducing morbidity associated with RC by utilizing ERAS in
BACKGROUND
There is no evidence that monitoring tumor dynamics using sensitive tumor markers contributes to treatment decision-making and prognosis in gastric cancer patients with tumor recurrence. This study was designed to investigate the significance of tumor markers in monitoring peritoneal
OBJECTIVE
To present an evidence-based review of the perioperative management of the radical cystectomy (RC) patient in the context of a care redesign initiative.
METHODS
A comprehensive review of the key factors associated with perioperative management of the RC patient was completed. PubMed,
Intestinal atresia accounts for about one third of all cases of neonatal intestinal obstruction. The survival rate has improved to 90% in most of the series with the operative mortality being < 1%. The survival rate improves with distal atresias. An increased mortality is observed in multiple
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to clarify which attributes of stage II colon cancer are associated with tumor recurrence and survival after curative resection, and the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed outcomes and clinicopathological characteristics of
A triple-lumen Moss(c) gastrostomy tube was advanced into the proximal duodenum as an adjunct to the postoperative management of patients who underwent vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) for the treatment of morbid obesity. The tube efficiently aspirated the proximal duodenum and stomach to prevent
MINI: We began a quality improvement project distributing free Surgical Site Infection Prevention Kits (SSIPK) to all patients undergoing elective colectomy. Patients who received the kit, compared to propensity matched controls who did not receive the kit, had fewer postoperative The pathogenesis of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis is still unknown today. Only prematurity has been confirmed as a primary risk factor. Previous studies demonstrated the special pathophysiological conditions in prematurity. Differences in intestinal permeability, blood flow in anemia and
In patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated when enteral nutrition is not possible or should be avoided for medical reasons. In Crohn's patients PN is indicated when there are signs/symptoms of ileus or subileus in the small intestine, scars or
