Risk factors for surgical opportunity in patients with femoral hernia: A retrospective cohort study

Medicine
Xiaochun LiuTeng Zhang

Abstract

Femoral hernias are extremely easily incarcerated and are recommended for early surgery. In the past, there were a number of definitely diagnosed femoral hernia patients who were not able to undergo elective surgery in a timely fashion, and then, they were obliged to undergo emergency surgery or even to lose the opportunity for surgery. The relevant epidemic factors of femoral hernia were thoroughly investigated in the clinic; however, the impact of these factors on surgical opportunity has not been widely reported. The purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate the risk factors affecting the femoral hernia patients' surgical opportunities.One hundred forty-two consecutive patients who were treated for femoral hernia with COD (course of disease) >1 month were analyzed. Depending on the surgical opportunity, the patients were divided into 2 groups: elective surgery and emergency surgery. A retrospective cohort study was performed in the 2 groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors influencing the timing of femoral hernia surgery.Of the 163 patients with femoral hernia in our center between 2013 and 2017, 142 had COD > 1 month, including 66 elective and 76 emergenc...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.
