Abstract Purpose To analyze changes in the thermal pattern in the skin graft receptor bed, after the use of therapeutic ultrasound through the thermographic images. Methods Eighteen Rattus norvegicus albinus Wistar, separated into two groups: GST groups (without tumor and without treatment with ultrasound) and GT (with tumor and treatment with ultrasound). In the GT group, induction of carcinogenesis was performed by single intradermal application of 0.05 ml DMBA at 0.5%, diluted in acetone....

Abstract Purpose Given the high prevalence of diabetes (D), several animal models have been analyzed. In the literature, most of the animal models have studied severe D. However, in clinical practice, most patients have moderate disease. Therefore, the present study aimed to describe a moderate D condition. Methods We analyzed 20 Wistar rats, age eight-weeks, weight between 200g-250g. All animals received an intravenous injection of Streptozotocin (55mg/kg weight). On the 15th day after D induction,...

• Mucinous appendiceal neoplasms warrant from the simplest to the most complicated surgery.• The updated histopathological classification is the cornerstone of decision making.• Advanced appendiceal tumours that have spread to the peritoneum are potentially curable by surgery.• Standard treatment is cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.• Better surgical technique and perioperative care greatly diminished the morbidity of CRS + HIPEC. Abstract Mucinous appendiceal...

We conducted a single institution retrospective analysis of 610 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma treated between 1987 and 2016. Lymphovascular invasion was strongly associated with other adverse prognostic factors in papillary thyroid carcinoma, particularly the presence and extent of nodal metastases. However, after adjusting for these with multivariate analysis, lymphovascular invasion was not an independent predictor of recurrence. Abstract Background Lymphovascular invasion...

This is a retrospective single centre review of patient admissions over a 1‐year period, using electronic patient records and imaging. Using data from the 251 total admissions fitting inclusion criteria, we found that length of stay was increased with operative management, older age and with increasing time from admission to surgery. The trial of Gastrografin in non‐operative management of adhesion type small bowel obstructions did not significantly affect outcomes but tended to reduce operative...

This paper demonstrates the utility of a dynamic assessment of C‐reactive protein in predicting the failure of conservative management of acute diverticulitis in patients not needing immediate surgery or radiological intervention. If the C‐reactive protein is persistently high or is rising in the first 2 days of admission, then there is a higher risk of intervention during the hospital admission. This is the first time such a dynamic assessment is performed in patients with acute diverticulitis....

Abstract Reconstruction of breast burns are challenging, as it includes both functional and aesthetic components. Transverse myocutaneous gracilis (TMG) flap has been used for postmastectomy breast reconstruction in the absence of abdominal donor site availability. Use of this flap for the breast burns is limited. A 32‐year‐old female sustained 54% second and third degree burns resulting with bilateral total breast loss. Anterior and posterior thorax, upper and mid abdomen, neck, shoulders, and...
