Abstract

A large hanging panniculus can cause problems such as intertrigo, chronic infection, and immobility. Many patients undergoing weight reduction surgery can benefit from panniculectomy either done concomitantly with bariatric surgery or later after significant weight reduction. Over the last 5 years we performed 123 panniculectomies on patients (34 males, 89 females; mean age 44.5 +/- 10.3 years) undergoing bariatric surgery. The panniculectomy was either done at the same time as the bariatric surgery in 21 patients or after a time period of 17 +/- 11 months in 102 patients. The prebariatric surgery weight ranged from 107 to 341 kg (mean: 168.6 +/- 47.2 kg) with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 59 +/- 14 kg/m. After the bariatric surgery the patients had an average weight loss of 57.6 +/- 27 kg. The prepanniculectomy weight was 121.9 +/- 39.3 kg (BMI = 43.1 +/- 12.4 kg/m) for the patients who had the panniculectomy after the bariatric surgery. Ninety-two percent of the patients had multiple comorbidities. The weight of the panniculectomy specimen ranged from 4 to 54 kg. Any abdominal wall hernias (35.4% incisional and 8.9% umbilical) were fixed during the panniculectomy. Overall, patients who had panniculectomy simultaneously with...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
