Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of probiotics on spontaneous contractions of smooth muscle isolated from jejunum and ileum of rat model. Methods Four rat groups were created (n=8, in each) including control (Group 1), control+probiotic (Group 2), short bowel (Group 3), and short bowel+probiotic (Group 4). Groups 1 and 2 underwent sham operation, Groups 3 and 4 underwent massive bowel resection. Bifidobacterium Lactis was administered in Groups 2 and 4 daily (P.O.) for three weeks. On...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of alcohol exposure and diabetes on apoptotic process in the corpus cavernosum. Methods Forty eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, diabetic, alcoholic and diabetic-alcoholic. Samples of the corpus cavernosum were prepared to study protein expression of apoptotic genes (Caspases-3 and 9) by immunohistochemistry and Real-Time PCR. Results The immunoreactivity of Caspases-3 and -9 was diffuse and higher in the treated groups though...

A high index of suspicion for necrotising fasciitis, especially in high‐risk patients, urgent surgical review and aggressive debridement may reduce mortality. Abstract Background Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a life‐threatening bacterial infection with high mortality. This retrospective study aimed to investigate patient characteristics and potential areas for improvement...

Corrective musculoskeletal surgery for cerebral palsy children places them at risk of major blood loss and red blood cell transfusion. There is significant variability in perioperative blood management and improvements can be made to improve outcomes. Abstract Background Progressive musculoskeletal pathology is ubiquitous among children with cerebral palsy (CP). Corrective surgery places them at risk of major blood loss and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Significant variability exists...

Best management in acute uncomplicated disease is ambiguous. Medical management is currently favoured, but endovascular management may have better outcomes. Surgical decisions can be supported by clinical and anatomical risk predictors identified through registries. Abstract Background The best management of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is currently a controversial area. Recent advances in endovascular intervention have begun to establish pre‐emptive thoracic endovascular...

AbstractA 49-year-old morbidly obese woman with metastatic endometrial carcinoma was referred for evaluation of an incidentally identified large right thyroid nodule found on computed tomography performed for cancer evaluation. Ultrasound revealed a 9.7 cm solid isoechoic homogeneous right thyroid nodule. Fine needle aspiration was benign. Given size, resection was recommended following completion of chemotherapy and radiation. At the time of right thyroid lobectomy, extremely large vessels were...
