Abstract

Background This study evaluated the long surgical gauze (SurG) technique as a liver retraction method in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Traditional methods involve the Nathanson retractor, associated with ischemia and necrosis complications. In addition, these techniques require an additional trocar with an incision that increases postoperative pain. Our aim, therefore, was to reduce such complications through the use of SurG and evaluate recovery and outcome implications. Methods In this retrospective study, patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) between January and December 2023 were divided into two groups based on the liver retraction method used: NR or SurG. Demographic data, surgery times, postoperative liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT), C-reactive protein (CRP), pain scores, and analgesic use (VAS) were collected from medical records and statistically analyzed. Results The SurG group demonstrated significantly lower postoperative pain scores and reduced analgesic use compared to the NR group (p < 0.001). Additionally, liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT, CRP) were lower in the SurG group, indicating less liver stress. Early mobilization was achieved more quickly in the SurG group, aligning with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. However, the SurG method showed some limitations during the dissection of the greater curvature due to the narrower field of view. Conclusions The long surgical gauze method provides a viable alternative to the Nathanson retractor, offering advantages such as less postoperative pain, reduced liver stress, and quicker mobilization. Despite some technical limitations, this method can improve patient outcomes in sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract

Background; Liver retraction management in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is challenging for surgeons, especially in patients with enlarged livers. Traditional methods, such as the Nathanson retractor (NR), often necessitate additional incisions, potentially increasing liver enzymes and increasing the risk of complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the use of a Veress needle (VN), an alternative liver retraction technique, in LSG surgery compared with NR. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at a university-affiliated hospital between May 2022 and December 2022. Patients who underwent LSG were divided into two groups: one utilizing the NR and the other employing the VN for liver retraction. Parameters such as operation duration, retraction time, liver laceration, trocar-induced hemorrhage, subxiphoid trocar site infections, pain scores measured via the visual analog scale (VAS) at various time points, pre- and postoperative liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT, GGT, ALP) and CRP levels were analyzed. Results: Data from 151 patients were analyzed. The AST/ALT elevations (P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the VN group (73 patients) than in the NR group (78 patients), while there was no significant difference in GGT/ALP levels. Retraction-related bleeding was significantly greater in the NR group than in the VN group (6.4% vs 0%, P = 0.035). Postoperative infection rate was lower in the VN group but not statistically significant (0% vs 3.8%, P = 0.135). CRP differences were significant on the first postoperative day (P < 0.001). Postoperative VAS scores were significantly lower in the VN group at all measured time points except at the 48th hour and 10th day. Conclusions: The VN technique in LSG significantly reduces liver enzyme elevation and the need for an extra trocar and incision, potentially lowering complication risk and enhancing patient outcomes.

Abstract

Emulsion polymerization acrylic latex polymers (in short latex polymers), crucial ingredients of waterborne paints, provide continuous film formation during the drying stage and act as one of the major factors that determine the performance of paints. Modification of latex polymers is an ongoing process to improve paint performance and it can be accomplished by various methods. In this study, styrene and n-butyl acrylate latex polymers are modified by three functional monomers (methacrylamidoethyl ethylene urea (MAEEU), dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)) alone or combined in different amounts in latex polymer formulations. Impacts of these functional monomers both on latex polymers, and paints made from these latex polymers are investigated. The characterization of the latex polymers are analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), minimum film forming temperature (MN- T), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Scrub resistance, whiteness, hiding power, glossiness, hardness, contact angle, adhesion on annealed glass and hot-dip galvanized steel surfaces, and color retention properties of the paints are examined. The results are compared with a nonfunctional reference and a commercial styrene-acrylicbased latex polymer, separately. The outcomes confirm that alone and the combinations of these monomers in styrene-acrylic-based latex polymers improve the paint by enhancing scrub resistance, better adhesion on surfaces and the ability to control hydrophobicity and color efficiency.

Abstract

Background and study aims: The prognostic value of H. pylori, which infects more than half of the human population living in the world and plays a role in gastric cancer pathogenesis, is controversial. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between H. pylori and prognostic factors in gastric cancer. Patients and methods: The data of 110 patients (38 females and 72 males) that underwent surgeries due to gastric cancer between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The relationships between survival (disease-free and overall) and factors such as p53, HER2/neu, Ki-67, neutrophil and platelet lymphocyte ratio (NLR / PLR), histopathological and demographic characteristics were examined. In addition, the results of H. pylori positive and negative groups were compared. Results: Sixty-one (55%) patients were H. pylori negative and 49 (45%) were positive. In multivariate analysis, TNM stage, lymph node capsule invasion and NLR were determined as independent prognostic factors in both disease-free and overall survival. Age>62 and PLR>14.3 were determined as independent predictive factors of poor prognosis in overall survival. In univariate analysis, tumor diameter of >4.3 cm, lymphovascular and perineural invasion, and diffuse p53 expression were determined as predictive factors of poor prognosis in disease-free and overall survival. The effectiveness of these markers in prognosis was not different between H. pylori negative and positive groups. Conclusion: While age, tumor diameter, TNM stage, lymph node capsule invasion, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, diffuse p53, PLR, and NLR were determined as prognostic factors in gastric cancer, these factors were not affected by the presence of H. pylori.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The liver is the most common organ for settlement of hydatic cyst disease. All acknowledged protoscolicidals that are used for echinococcus degeneration have a risk of caustic secondary sclerosing cholangitis. The sodium hypochlorite is an effective protoscolicidal agent for treatment of hydatid liver cysts in vitro.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the safe usability of sodium hypochlorite for the treatment of hydatid cyst in the hepatobiliary system in an experimental rat model. METHODS: This experimental study designed as one side blinded animal study. Study was carried out between October 2017 and August 2018. Rats were randomly allocated to the study (n=7), control (n=7), and sham (n=7) groups. A duodenotomy was performed, and a catheter was inserted through the ampulla. The tip of the catheter was placed to instill 0.15 ml sodium hypochlorite (0,25%) solution, and 0.15 ml isotonic saline solution were into the common bile duct in the study and control groups, respectively. After three months, all rats were sacrificed. Livers, biliary tracts, pancreas, and duodenum were investigated for histopathological changes by blinded two pathologists.

RESULTS: No significant difference was found between groups for periductal portal inflammation (p=0.077), parenchymal inflammation, and focal necrosis (p=0.119). There was not any histopathological change in 71.4 % of the subjects in control and experimental groups.

CONCLUSION: Sodium hypochlorite (0,25%) did not cause any unfavorable changes in the hepatobiliary system, and this reminds that sodium hypochlorite can be a safe alternative in percutaneous drainage, laparoscopic, and open surgery in the treatment of hydatid cyst.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the most important aspects of inappropriate antibiotic use among general surgeons in Turkey is the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SP). In order to shed light on the current situation, we conducted a survey of general surgeons in our country. Our aim was to evaluate the approach taken by our general surgeons in prescribing SP, while providing data pertinent to the effectiveness of the 'Rational Drug Use' (AIK) national action plan.

Methodology: A questionnaire on the subject of personal SP usage and compliance with guidelines was distributed amongst general surgeons between 2018-2019. The questions related to individual approaches taken by surgeons when treating patients with either clean or clean contaminated wounds. Results of the questionnaires were collated and compliance with ASHP guidelines was evaluated.

Results: A total of 317 completed questionnaires were evaluated. According to the questionnaire results, the rate of total compliance with ASHP guidelines was 26.8%. The compliance rate for preoperative SP was 69.7% in the clean wound group and 54.6% in the clean contaminated wound group. Although 96.5% of the participants reported correct timing for the first dose of SP, this number dropped to 79.5% apropos the adminstration of further doses of prophylaxis. The percentage of surgeons prescribing continued antibiotics at discharge for clean and clean-contaminated cases was 22.7% and 38.5%, respectively.

Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that inappropriate use of SP is widespread in our country, and that antibiotics continue to be prescribed at discharge.

Abstract

Purpose: A completely satisfactory biomarker has yet to be identified for the diagnosis and characterization of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study evaluated the utility of fetuin A and secreted phosphoprotein 24 kDa (Spp24) as novel biomarkers in IBD.

Methods: Ninety IBD patients, 54 with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 36 with Crohn's disease (CD), and 41 healthy controls (HC) were included. Serum fetuin A, Spp24, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma levels were analyzed by ELISA. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were determined turbidimetrically by an automated procedure.

Results: There were no significant differences in serum Spp24 levels among the UC (17.15 pg/mL, mean), CD (18.88 pg/mL), and HC (14.77 pg/mL) groups (P>0.05). Median fetuin A levels were significantly lower in the UC (249 mg/L) and CD (254 mg/L) groups compared to HC (352 mg/L) (UC vs. HC P<0.001, CD vs. HC P<0.001). Fetuin A levels were not associated with disease activity, extent, or localization in UC or CD. In ROC curve analysis, a fetuin A cut-off value of 304 mg/L predicted IBD with better area under curve, sensitivity, and specificity (0.770, 76.1%, and 70.0%, respectively) compared to CRP (0.645, 32.2%, and 90.2%, respectively). TNF-alpha levels in IBD patients were not differ compared to HC (P>0.05), whereas IFN-gamma levels were statistically significant between UC (3.94 pg/mL, median) and HC (2.65 pg/mL) groups (P=0.037).

Conclusion: Fetuin A may have an anti-inflammatory function in IBD and may be used as a potential biomarker for the discrimination of IBD patients from healthy individuals.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a new antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) on surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SP) and antibiotics in discharge prescriptions used as a continuation of SP.

Methodology: The study included elective patients with clean and clean-contaminated wounds. The accuracy of the assigned SP was evaluated according to international guidelines. Primary outcome measures comprised appropriateness of prophylactic antibiotic indication, correct timing of initial dose, discontinuation of SP within 24 hours, and antibiotic prescription at discharge. A secondary outcome measure was to determine whether the effect of ASP was sustained long-term.

Results: The total compliance rate for all stages of SP increased from 8% to 52.1% after the intervention (p < 0.05). When analyzed according to individual SP components, it was found that although ASP did not change first dose timing rates, it did affect the rates of prophylactic antibiotic indication, discontinuation of SP within 24 hours and antibiotic prescription at discharge, with statistical significance (p < 0.05). In addition, ASP continued to increase its effectiveness throughout the 3rd year.

Conclusions: Based on the findings of our study, it seems clear that the modified ASP introduced in our general surgery clinic can be used effectively and simply; in addition, this ASP increases its efficacy with time.

Abstract

Introduction

Although there are international guidelines for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SP), the use of inappropriate SP is still a common problem. Most studies investigated SP applications in clean and clean-contaminated cases. However, antibiotics in the discharge prescriptions of these cases have not been adequately investigated. In this study, we aimed to examine the antibiotics in SP applications and discharged prescriptions together and to find out the causes of inappropriate use.

Materials and methods

We retrospectively evaluated the data of patients admitted to our general surgery wards between 2014 and 2015. Patients with clean or clean-contaminated wound category operations were included. The patients were evaluated in terms of convenience of SP (choice of antibiotics, compliance with an indication for SP, timing of the first dose, SP> 24 hours, and discharge prescription). In addition, to interpret the results, a questionnaire has been performed for the surgeons in the same clinics.

Results

A total of 1205 patients with clean and clean-contaminated wound class operation were enrolled in this study. The total accuracy rate of SP was 7.1%. SP application with the correct indication and timing of the first dose was compatible with guidelines: 55.6% and 81.9%, respectively. SP was applied > 24 hours at 60.2% and antibiotic prescribing carried out after discharge at 80.6% of patients. According to questionnaire results, the use of SP over 24 hours and the prescription of antibiotics during discharge were: drain usage, hyperthermia, leukocytosis, surgeons feeling of comfort, avoidance of patients, and their relatives' reactions.

Conclusion

The total accuracy rate of SP rate was low in the present study and in surgeons prescribing the SP after discharge. In light of the present study, we suggest that discharge prescriptions should also be reviewed in clinics who have a high inappropriate surgical antibiotic prophylaxis rate.

Abstract

Objective: Our objective was to determine metrics and measure the trauma-related emergency care quality.

Methods: Patients with majortrauma admitted to emergency departments of 13 hospitals in the north region of Izmir between January 01, 2014, and December 31, 2014, were included in this study. For the definition of major trauma, guideline of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for field triage of injured patients version 2011 was used. Age, time passed in emergency, first order timing, number of consultations and amount of time taken by the consultations, number of deaths in emergency departments and intensive care units, number of radiological tests applied to patients, total score of interventional applications, and total billing were recorded.

Results: In one-year period, 2,415,361 patients applied to selected hospitals' emergency departments, and 1811 patients (0.07%) were accepted as major trauma. The mean age of the patients was 29.4 years. The meantime passed in emergency was 28.3 h. The mean number of consultations and amount of time taken by consultations were 1.6 and 26.2 h, respectively. The number and mean X-ray, ultrasound, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging numbers were 3910 and 2.16; 518 and 0.29; 2805 and 1.55; 114 and 0.06, respectively. The total mortality rate was 1.04% (19 patients).

Conclusion: This is a preliminary study presenting the data obtained from different level hospitals in the region, and indicators in such a high number of patient group were evaluated for the first time. We believe that as national emergency care is built and strengthened with data, management of care for patients with trauma will improve.

Abstract

Intussusception is usually seen in the pediatric age group and rarely seen in adults. It results in the progression of the proximal segment of the intestine into the distal intestine. A 50-year-old immunosuppressive male patient presented with the complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and no gas or stool discharge for 2 days. He was hospitalized with the presumptive diagnosis of acute abdomen. He has a history of renal transplantation due to chronic renal insufficiency. An explorative laparotomy was performed. The operative findings were compatible with jejunojejunal intussusception, and a segmental small bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed. The patient was uncomplicated postoperatively and discharged on the fifth postoperative day. The pathology was reported as Epstein-Barr virus negative with diffuse large-cell B lymphoma. In this case report, we aim to report on a jejunojejunal intussusception that was presented as the first sign of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.

Abstract

Fournier gangrene is described as necrotizing fasciitis involving the genital, perineal, and perianal area. Early surgical debridement of necrotic tissues, topical therapy, and antibiotics are fundamental in the treatment of Fournier gangrene. We aimed to compare the effects of Dakin solution and povidone iodine solution on patient outcomes by using the Fournier gangrene severity index (FGSI). The demographic data, comorbid diseases, local therapeutic interventions, FGSI, necessity of diverting colostomy or orchiectomy, hospitalization time, number of debridements, complications, and outcomes of 57 patients with Fournier gangrene were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 47 of 57 patients (82.5%) were male, and 10 patients (17.5%) were female, with a mean age of 62.3 +/- 13.8 years (range, 27-85 years). The survivors were significantly younger than the nonsurvivors. The mean FGSI score was 4 (range, 1-9) in survivors, and mean FGSI score was 9 (range, 6-10) in nonsurvivors. FGSI score was significantly higher in the mortality group. The median hospital stay was 13 days (range, 3-34 days) in the Dakin solution group and 20 days (range, 1-41 days) in the povidone iodine group. Overall mortality rate was 17.5%. Advanced age had a statistically significant effect on mortality. The hospitalization time was significantly shorter in the Dakin solution group, and use of Dakin solution decreased the number of debridements. Dakin solution has favorable effects on hospital stay and the necessity of multiple debridements. Dakin solution seems to be a good and cost-effective choice for treatment in local wound healing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Trauma is an important health problem in children, and improvement in trauma care on the national level is possible only through the knowledge gathered from trauma registry systems. This information is not available in our country, because there is no current trauma registry system in the hospitals. Our aim in this paper is to explain the trauma registry system we have developed and to present the first year's data.

METHODS: The planned trauma registry system was integrated into the emergency department registry system of 14 hospitals in the Izmir province. The data of pediatric patients with multiple trauma have been recorded automatically through the registry system. Demographics, vital signs, mechanism, the type of trauma, anatomical region, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, the length of hospital stay, and the need for blood transfusion/endotracheal intubation/surgery/hospitalization were evaluated by the patient transfer status and outcome.

RESULTS: At the end of one year, a total of 356 pediatric major trauma patients were included in the study. The most common type of trauma was blunt trauma (91.9%), and the most common mechanism was vehicle-related traffic accident (28.1%). In the group with the Glasgow Outcome Scale <= 3; the age was greater, ISS was higher, and PTS was lower. Motorcycle accidents, sports injuries, and penetrating injuries were more frequent in this group. All scores were significantly different between direct and transferred patients. The referral time to the hospital of the transferred patients was longer than directly admitted patients, but the results were not different.

CONCLUSION: Pediatric major trauma is an important cause of mortality and morbidity, and our trauma registry system, which is a successful example abroad, is insufficient in our country. We hope that the trauma registry system we planned and the pilot application we started will be expanded to include other hospitals throughout the country with the aim of developing a national registry system.

Abstract

Introduction: Esophageal diverticulum is a rare entity with symptoms that include dysphagia, halitosis, chest pain, and regurgitation. Indications for surgery include the presence of any of these symptoms and a diverticulum larger than 3 cm because of the increased risk of malignancy and aspiration. Treatment is open or minimally invasive surgery performed from the transhiatal or transthoracic approach.

Case Description: Three patients were investigated by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, esophageal manometry, and computed tomography and were given the diagnosis of epiphrenic diverticulum of the esophagus.

Management and Outcome: The patients underwent robot-assisted surgery by a transthoracic approach for esophageal diverticulectomy. The mean operative time was 211 min, with no significant blood loss or intraoperative complications.

Discussion: This report of robot-assisted surgery for esophageal diverticulectomy from a transthoracic approach adds to the literature regarding surgical treatment of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum. It is a feasible method that can be used in selected patients with esophageal diverticulum.

Abstract

In this paper, novel core-shell polymers comprising styrene (St) and butyl acrylate (BA) in both core and shell layers of the polymer particles have been synthesized and employed in pigment printing pastes which were applied on 100% cotton and 65% cotton/35% polyester (PET) fabrics. The aim was to reduce the NMA content and the formation of free formaldehyde from pigment printing pastes by employing newly synthesized core-/shell-type polymers. After five washing cycles, the synthesized core-/shell-type polymer including 1% NMA in the core and 1% NMA in the shell with T-g values +30 degrees C and -20 degrees C, respectively, with lowest total NMA content (1.03%) yielded the best result and showed closest Delta E values to the commercially available polymer including 4% NMA. Dry and wet rubbing fastness results showed no significant changes in the absence of NMA when compared with NMA containing samples. The penetration degree of the pigment pastes of the corresponding polymers was relatively higher on 100% cotton fabric for both red- and blue-colored pigments. A negligible decrease in color strength has been observed for all polymers when colored in red.

Abstract

In this paper, titanium-dioxide-pigmented printing pastes of water-borne, UV-curable polyurethane acrylate binder with two different UV-curing photoinitiator combinations were prepared and screen printed on a black t-shirt fabric. The effects of mercury and gallium radiation sources employed either singly or in combination for UV curing and the total energy level on the printing performance were investigated. The cured textile samples were subjected to colour measurements before and after five cycles of washing, and hiding power and changes in chromacity, hue, and colour were determined. Single-lamp applications of mercury and gallium were not satisfactory, and opaque pigment hindered deep curing, especially at thicker coating levels. It was found that employment of a mercury-gallium lamp system applying an irradiation at medium level can provide pigment printing of opaque white inks with excellent coverage, washing resistance, and medium hardness.

Abstract

Introduction: Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of abdominal pain and emergent abdominal surgery. The incidence is approximately 10% during the lifetime. Although appendectomy is a most common surgical procedure worldwide, it's complication rate is 5-28% A delay in diagnosis of AA is associated with prolonged hospitalization, an increased rate of perforation (34%-75%), wound infection (0%-11%), pelvic abscess (1%-5%) and late intro-abdominal adhesions. Appendectomy is first described by McBurney in 1894 and still remains the standart procedure for AA. Although patients with AA often present with a characteristic symptom complex and physical findings, atypical presentations are common. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients who were operated for suspected acute appendicitis and to assess the discriminative effect of this ratio between wzinflamed, uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis.

Materials and methods: The medical records of 3212 patients who underwent appendectomy for suspected acute appendicitis during a 10-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were divided into 3 groups; group 1, 208 consecutive patients who had uninflamed appendix at appendectomy; group 2, 2111 consecutive patients who had uncomplicated acute appendicitis at appendectomy; group 3, 893 patients who had complicated appendicitis (perforated appendix or peri-appendicular abscess) at appendectomy. Data for three groups of patients were analyzed to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the NLR in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Receivers operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate this ratio in a relation with true diagnosis and severity of acute appendicitis.

Results: 1792 (55.8%) of the patients were male and 1420 (44.2%) of them were female. The mean age of the groups were 30.28 +/- 14.18, 29.98 +/- 12.63 and 33.81 +/- 16.27 respectively. The discriminative effect of NLR was higher between uninflamed and complicated appendicitis groups with a cut-off value of 3,94. The recommended cut-off value of the preoperative NLR was decided using ROC curve analyses. The recommended cut-off value of the NLR was based on the most prominent point on the ROC curve for sensitivity (82.2%) and specificity (56.5%). The area under the ROC curve was 0.74.

Conclusion: AA is one of the most common surgical emergencies and the most common source of infection in community acquired intra-abdominal infections. However the diagnosis is often challenging and the decision to operate, observe or further work-up on a patient is often unclear. Initial management of patients with suspected AA is based on the history of the patient, physical examination, basic laboratory tests reflecting the inflammatory response and radiologic imaging. NLR is a helpful biochemical parameter for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis but it has limited value on differentiating patients with complicated appendicitis from patients with uninflamed and uncomplicated appendicitis.

Abstract

Reports on the outcomes of emergency and elective femoral hernia surgery are scarce. Most studies do not distinguish femoral hernia from other types of groin hernia; studies of femoral hernia alone are few in number. The main objective of the present study was to identify factors affecting morbidity of femoral hernia patients. We retrospectively analyzed data on 80 patients who underwent femoral hernia surgery between June 2009 and June 2013. Patients who did and did not experience morbidity were compared in terms of age, sex, hernia location, the presence of any comorbid disease, the type of anesthesia employed, the operative technique used, the type of surgical intervention, and performance of small bowel resection. Forty-three patients (53.8%) underwent emergency surgery because of incarceration. Of these, 18 (41.9%) experienced strangulation and underwent resection. Postoperative complications developed in 11 patients (13.8%). Upon multiple logistic regression analysis, visceral organ resection (of the small bowel and/or omentum) was the only independent predictor of significant morbidity (P < 0.05; odds ratio [OR]: 14.010, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.001-196.143). When diagnosed, femoral hernias should be electively repaired as soon as possible. The cumulative probability of strangulation rises over time. A requirement for bowel resection seems to significantly increase morbidity.

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to examine, combined with the literature, the non-operative examination criteria and factors effecting the morbidity and mortality of patients admitted to our clinic as a result of solid organ laceration caused by blunt trauma in those who are non-operatively treated.

Materials and methods: In this study, 22 patients with blunt trauma who were non-operatively treated from December 2008 until! May 2014, were studied retrospectively. Parameters included in the study were determined as follows: vital functions at the. moment of admittance, radiologic findings, need of blood transfusion and duration Of hospital stay.

Results: By imaging methods (ultrasonography, computed tomography) it was determined that 11 out of 22 patients of the patients had a liver laceration (grade 1-2) and 11(50%) had a spleen laceration (grade 14). Nineteen patients were not observed with hematocrit or hemoglobin decrease, which would have caused the need of a blood transfusion. One patient with spleen laceration grade 4 and treated with non-operative medical monitoring (NOM) received 4 red blood cell (RBC) units; 1 patient with grade 3. spleen laceration who was operated on in the 24th hour of NOM received 4 RBC units; 1 patient with grade 4 spleen laceration who was operated on in the hour of NOM received 5 RBC units, All patients were discharged without development of any complications or mortality.

Conclusion: The non-operative treatment of solid organ laceration caused by blunt force trauma is a modern treatment. method that can be effectively and safely applied to patients who do not have acute abdominal findings and whose vital findings remain stable, especially when located at erperienced and specialized centers. Presently it is possible for patients who are monitored non-operatively to he treated safely with low morbidity and mortality rates thanks to the advanced technology of radiologic examinations and to the growing experience on this matter.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Paragangliomas are tumors that arise from extraadrenal chromaffin cells and most of them are asymptomatic presenting with painless mass. Retroperitoneal paragangliomas are mostly benign with good prognosis; however, they can present with abdominal pain, palpable mass, or hypertensive episodes. Surgical resection is still the main treatment and necessary for histological assessment.

CASE REPORT: A 41 year old female patient presented with 6 months of loss of appetite, weight loss, weakness and breathlessness on exertion.. The patient's initial blood examination showed marked anemia, reduced leukocyte count with neutropenia and lymphopenia and a marked reduction in the platelet count. The patient was admitted for evaluation of her pancytopenia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 8 x 7 x 8 cm sized mass closed to the pancreatic tail invading splenic hilum. A large mass was identified retroperitoneally, closed to the tail of pancreas with a splenic hilum invasion. Total mass resection and splenectomy was performed.

DISCUSSION: Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for extra-adrenal paragangliomas as well as for recurrent or metastatic neoplasms. Reactive thrombocytosis is a common cause of thrombocytosis. Splenectomy was found to be one of the main causes of extreme reactive thrombocytosis. Reactive thrombocytosis is a predictable finding after splenectomy and management of the thrombocytosis and prevention of complications should be initiated. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Abstract

Introduction: Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon and often clinically misdiagnosed cause of abdominal pain. The most frequent predisposing factor is anticoagulation therapy and coughing, in fact it has been implicated as the most important precipitating risk factor. Early diagnosis could prevent unnecessary surgical interventions and surgery. Although most cases are self-limiting, RSH can lead to significant morbidity and its overall mortality rate is reported as 4%.

Materials and methods: Patients diagnosed with RSH from August 2007 to December 2013 were retrospectively searched in double centre. The demographic data, possible causes of RSH as comorbid conditions or predisposing medications and imaging findings, therapeutic interventions, complications and outcomes of 24 patients were analysed.

Results: 32 patients were identified in the present study. Eight cases were excluded due to other diagnosis, as post traumatic or postsurgical RSH. There were 8 males (33.3%) and 16 females (66.7%), with an age range of 24 to 86 years. The majority of the patients (79.1%) were treated by such conservative methods, while 5 (20.8%) patients underwent surgery, and has been performed percutaneous drainage for RSH abscess.

Discussion: With increased use of anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapies, RSH are becoming more prevalent. Majority of the patients could be treated by conservative methods. If the conservative management fails to control active bleeding and the patients become hemodynamically instable, surgery should be the next step. RSH is commonly misdiagnosed as acute intra-abdominal event, and an high index of suspicion is required in patients with acute abdomen, in presence of a palpable abdominal mass and anemia.

Abstract

In this work we report the synthesis and characterization of a new series of spiropolymers which are a subclass of ladder polymers. For the synthesis of spiropolymers, multihydroxy functional monomers have been synthesized and allowed to react with 1,4 cyclohexanedicarbaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst to give new polyspiroacetals. In order to understand polymer structure, model compounds of each polymer were synthesized and characterized. The effects of different multihydroxy monomers on the properties of the resulting polymers have been examined. The polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), solid-state C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), termogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods. The spiropolymers are thermally stable and have a high degree of chemical stability. They are completely soluble in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and can be recovered from this solvent.

Abstract

Purpose. The aim of this study was to present the computed tomography (CT) findings of bezoars that cause obstruction in the small bowel and to emphasize that some CT findings can be considered specific to some bezoar types. Materials and Methods. The records of 39 patients who underwent preoperative abdominal CT and subsequent operation with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to bezoars were retrospectively analyzed. Results. In total, 56 bezoars were surgically removed from 39 patients. Bezoars were most commonly located in the jejunum(n = 26/56, 46.4%). Sixteen (41.0%) patients had multiple bezoar locations in the gastrointestinal tract. Common CT findings in all patients were a mottled gas pattern and a focal ovoid or round intraluminal mass with regular margins and a heterogeneous internal structure. Furthermore, some CT findings were determined to be specific to bezoars caused by persimmons. Conclusions. Preoperative CT is valuable in patients admitted with signs of intestinal obstruction in geographic regions with a high bezoar prevalence. We believe that the correct diagnosis of bezoars and the identification of their number and location provide a great advantage for all physicians and surgeons. In addition, some types of bezoars have unique CT findings, and we believe that these findings may help to establish a diagnosis.
