Abstract

Sigmoid volvulus is a major cause of intestinal obstruction. The aim of this study is to analyze urgent and elective conditions as risk factors for morbidity and mortality regarding sigmoid colon resection and primary anastomosis in patients with sigmoid volvulus. This retrospective study included 63 patients diagnosed with sigmoid volvulus, who underwent sigmoid colon resection plus primary anastomosis under urgent or elective conditions between January 1994 and December 2010. Sigmoid colon resection plus anastomosis was performed in 63 patients; 31 (49.2 %) under urgent conditions, while 32 (50.8 %) were performed electively. The mean age of the patients was 65.2 ± 15.2 (18-95) years. The patients consisted of 50 (79.4 %) men and 13 (20.6 %) women. There were no statistical significances between groups in terms of age, gender, associated diseases, and hospital stay. Postoperative morbidity occurred in 30.2 % of patients. The morbidity rates for the urgent group and the elective group were 35.5 and 25.0 %, respectively (p = 0.419). Wound infection, pneumonia, and evisceration were the most common postoperative complications. Wound infection was higher in the urgent group (p = 0.026). In terms of other complications, the groups...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.
