Abstract

Incisional hernia is the most common complication of laparotomy. Postoperative parietal defects tend to relapse, even after the most optimal surgical methods. The aim of this study was to present the effectiveness of an adapted retromuscular technique with prolene mesh and a hernial sac, in patients with large incisional median hernias. The reported results were obtained by our team after more than 15 years of experience. This retrospective study included 139 consecutive cases of large median incisional hernias operated on using a retromuscular mesh and hernial sac technique. The cross-sectional diameter of incisional hernias was larger than 10 cm, being classified in the W3 group, according to the European Hernia Society classification. The study included 83 females (59.71%) and 56 males (40.29%) with a median age of 62.4 ± 16.6 years and an average body mass index of 32.4 ± 7.6 kg. The hernia was supraumbilically located in 54 cases, subumbilically in 61 cases, and supra- and subumbilically in 24 cases. Postoperative complications were recorded in eight cases (5.75%): one case with a hematoma in the right abdominal muscle sheath; five cases with supra-aponeurotic seromas; two cases with skin necrosis and one with a mesh infec...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.
