High mortality in newborn babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is principally due to persistent pulmonary hypertension. ATP-dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channels might modulate pulmonary vascular tone. We have assessed the effects of Pinacidil, a K(ATP) channel opener, and glibenclamide
The purpose of this study was to find out whether hypokalaemia and associated ECG changes occur as a result of field block for hernial repair, alone or in combination with surgery. We recorded the ECG and measured the serum potassium and the plasma catecholamine concentrations at 10-min intervals in
Elective preperitoneal or posterior repair for recurrent groin hernias and primary femoral hernias has been shown to be a technically advantageous approach. In addition to the ease of inguinal floor and femoral canal assessment, scar tissue from prior anterior herniorrhaphy can be avoided. The
Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia usually begins during childhood, but may be an occasional finding even in adults. The treatment of choice is surgical repair to avoid herniated bowel complications. The operation often requires a combined approach consisting in thoracotomy and laparotomy. This is a
OBJECTIVE
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Voltage-gated potassium channels KCNQ1, KCNQ4, and KCNQ5 are expressed by rodent pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, contributing to their vascular tone. We hypothesized that KCNQ1, KCNQ4, and
The newborn with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is at high risk of developing persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Recently, smooth muscle K(+) channels have been implicated in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in adults. We hypothesized that the hyperreactivity of the newborn pulmonary
Gastric volvulus is a rare disease. We recently encountered a gastric volvulus associated with Bochdalek hernia and severe hypopotassemia. A 32-year-old woman experienced epigastric pain and recurrent vomiting. The changes of the electrocardiogram in this patient (K1.8mEq/l) were inverted T wave and
Although the first-line medicine for the treatment of reflux esophagitis (RE) is proton. pomp inhibitor(PPI), the effectiveness is affected by the internal metabolism of PPI, the polymor- phism of metabolized enzyme for PPI, the presence of H. pyloi infection or esophageal hernia, and the grade of
BACKGROUND
Hepatic encephalopathy may be initiated by many factors such as gastrointestinal bleeding, infections, fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Hypokalemia is one of the most commonly encountered electrolyte abnormalities causing hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis.

OBJECTIVE

METHODS
A 4-year retrospective chart review of data.
METHODS
Peritoneal dialysis unit of a university hospital.
METHODS
58 hernias in 50 patients
OBJECTIVE
To review the feasibility of undertaking elective hernia repair in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients without converting them to hemodialysis.
METHODS
A 10-year retrospective review of prospectively collected data.
METHODS
PD unit of a university-based hospital.

All patients
BACKGROUND
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a prevalent major congenital anomaly with significant morbidity and mortality. Thirty to 40% mortality in CDH is largely attributed to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension (PH). We hypothesized that the underlying genetic risk factors
The concentrations of Na, K, Cl, HCO3, LA, and urea, with calculation of the AG, as indirect indices of electrolyte balance and metabolic conditions prevailing in testicular environment, were determined in PB and SVB of 24 men with varicocele and 15 men with inguinal hernia. Significantly higher
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and clinical significance of pelvic floor reconstruction in extralevator abdominoperineal excision(ELAPE) for advanced low rectal cancer.
METHODS
The clinical efficacy was retrospectively analyzed in 30 patients with low rectal cancer who underwent ELAPE from
