I. Introduction of EB problem to be researched The topic of choice is urinary catheters. Many patients have or will have catheters in their hospital stay or in their lifetime. Catheters come in a variety of different types of shapes and tips. A one-way catheter also known as a “straight cath” is a quick way to get urine out of the bladder for clean collection or to just remove urine. The one-way catheter does not have a balloon at the tip, therefore, it does not remain in the patient. The two-way
gentle rotation of the spinal cord. Great care must be taken to avoid traction & compression on spinal cord itself. Cottonoids are placed at each end of the tumor to avoid intradural soiling. Most of the time, the arachnoid can be separated and the resection completed in the extra-arachnoidal plane. The tumor surface is cauterized and incised with a knife or microscissors. Samples are sent to the pathologist for immediate analysis. In lateral meningiomas, the tumor debulking is performed with either
restorative dentistry, endodontics and periodontics so that the teeth are retained in whole or in part. Thus tooth resection procedures are used to preserve as much tooth structure as possible rather than sacrificing the whole tooth.(1)(2) The term tooth resection denotes the excision and removal of any segment of the tooth or a root with or without its accompanying crown portion. Various resection procedures described are : root amputation, hemisection, radisection and bisection. Root amputation refers
surgery. It has been traditionally reported in the range of 5 to 15% after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas. Here we report our experience with Diabetes Insipidus following Endoscopic resection of pituitary adenomas. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the Stanford University Pituitary Adenoma database. Between the years 2007 and 2012 we identified 183 patients who underwent endoscopic resection of pituitary adenomas by the senior author (G.R.H). In the early postoperative inpatient
Introduction: Intussusception is a common gastrointestinal emergency in the pediatric population. This illness is a conversion in which a portion of the intestine telescopes into another adjacent distal segment of the intestine and causes bowel and ileocolic obstruction. Intussusception is considered a frequent cause of abdominal pain in pediatric patients. It is well described in infants, with an incidence of 0.1 to 0.4 % nonetheless it is less well-established in neonates.1, 2 In fewer than 10%

ABSTRACT Infections of periodontal or endodontic origin may result in increased periodontal probing depths with attachment loss adjacent to the root surface, bleeding on probing, suppuration, swelling of the gingiva ,tooth mobility, angular bone loss and pain on percussion. These signs and symptoms may be caused by plaque-associated periodontitis which begins at the margin of the gingiva and proceeds apically or by endodontic infections that enter the periodontal ligament at the apical foramen or
hypoglycemia from the ectopic secretion of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) from a solitary fibrous tumor which may be intrapleural or extrapleural in origin. We report a case of severe hypoglycemia in a 68-year old lady initially admitted for resection of left sided solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFTP). Investigation revealed true hypoglycemia and DPS was diagnosed. The tumor was completely resected and the patient made a full recovery with no further hypoglycemic episodes. This is probably
43-year-old male flagger who sustained injury to his right shoulder while moving cones on a trailer. As per OMNI entry, he was initially diagnosed with shoulder strain. He is status post right shoulder arthroscopic partial acromionectomy, resection of distal clavicle, resection of partial-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear, and intraarticular and acromial steroid Marcaine cocktail injections per operative report dated 7/11/16. Per the PT note dated 11/16/16, the patient has attended 43 visits for the right
The symptoms with having lung cancer are intense, persistent cough, pain in chest shoulder, and/or back unrelated to cough, change in color/volume of sputum, shortness of breath, changes in voice/ hoarseness, harsh sounds with each breath, recurrent lung problems, coughing up phlegm or mucus, especially tinged with blood, coughing up blood, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, muscle wasting, fatigue, headaches, bone/joint pain, bone fractures unrelated to injury, neurological symptoms (unsteady
Meckel’s diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract associated with many diverse and unusual complications has an incidence of 2- 3% (1) . Meckel’s Diverticulum is a true diverticulum comprising all intestinal layers. It is usually an incidental finding. Strangulation of Meckel’s diverticulum (Littre’s Hernia) is a rare anatomo -clinical form. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. We report a very rare case of Littre hernia which is a complication of
Grace is a 78-year-old female who is diagnosed with malignant neoplasm of pancreatic duct (C25.3). Grace was previously treated with surgical resection of the distal pancreatectomy, cholecystectomy, splenectomy, and low anterior resection with colorectal ostomy, gemzar, abraxane, cisplatin, opdivo, abemaciclib, galunisertib, but still experienced disease progression. Pathology demonstrates T2, N1, M1 disease with 9 out of 27 lymph nodes remarkable with metastasis to the colon. Your denial indicates

appendicitis, U/S abdomen shows sign of of acute appendicitis with Ileoileal Target sign. Laparotomy was done which shows segmental ileal volvulus without malrotation associated with Inflamed Appendix and fecolith at the tip, appendectomy plus intestinal resection and anastomosis was done.

Alloplastic material is required when autogenous bone is not available as in calvarial tumour resections, bone infections or bone discarded during craniectomies. Now a days PMMA and titanium are most widely used alloplastic materials. Preparation of implants can be done in two ways - by hands and by computer generated 3D models [11,12]. Hand fabrication
Mr. A is admitted to the critical care unit post bowel resection, splenectomy, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and patient-ventilator dyssynchrony (PVD). He is an eighteen-year-old African American man who is placed on an IV infusion of Norcuron and Ativan. The major outcomes expected for Mr. A would be for him to be able to wean of the ventilator, be hemodynamically stable, heal adequately, tolerate his diet, have adequate bowel elimination, and be able to adjust to his life with optimal
If your doctor and you decide surgery is the best option, there are several procedures the surgeon can perform to remove the cancer. In a wedge resection, the surgeon will take out a small section of lung that contains the tumor. Healthy tissue will also be removed. Segmental resection requires removal of a larger part of the diseased lung. Lobectomy is exactly what it sounds like—the surgeon will remove the entire lobe of the diseased lung, while a pneumonectomy
INTRODUCTION Anatomy and Physiology of Angiocentic Glioma The most complex part of the body is the brain. It controls muscles movement, behavior, senses and all other functions of the body. The gray matter or cerebral cortex in the brain is the place where all the information is processed. Meanwhile, the cerebral lobe is the main source of intellectual activities. The nerve fibers in the two hemisphere of the cerebral lobe cross over and causing the right side of the cerebrum to control left side

had all feared and suspected: glioblastoma multiforme. Some people may see such a case as representing the futile and unsatisfactory nature of neurosurgery; glioblastoma is almost uniformly fatal with a median survival of around 1-2 years after resection, making surgery palliative in nature. Grim stories like this turn many aspiring medical students away from the field of neurosurgery, whereas for me, it is exactly the opposite. Harvey Cushing famously said, “A physician is obligated to consider
