Abstract

Sepsis is fatal in patients with gastrointestinal perforation (GIP). However, few studies have focused on this issue. To investigate the risk factors for postoperative sepsis in patients with GIP. This was a retrospective study performed at the Department of General Surgery in our treatment center. From January 2016 to December 2018, the medical records of patients with GIP who underwent emergency surgery were reviewed. Patients younger than 17 years or who did not undergo surgical treatment were excluded. The patients were divided into the postoperative sepsis group and the non-postoperative sepsis group. Clinical data for both groups were collected and compared, and the risk factors for postoperative sepsis were investigated. The institutional ethical committee of our hospital approved the study. Two hundred twenty-six patients were admitted to our department with GIP. Fourteen patients were excluded: Four were under 17 years old, and 10 did not undergo emergency surgery due to high surgical risk and/or disagreement with the patients and their family members. Two hundred twelve patients were finally enrolled in the study; 161 were men, and 51 were women. The average age was 62.98 ± 15.65 years. Postoperative sepsis occurred i...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.
