The influence of gender in open surgery and endovascular repair in the treatment of non-ruptured aortoiliac aneurysms.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the outcomes of survival, endoleaks, reinterventions, and perioperative mortality rate (PMR) in patients with AAIA receiving endovascular or open surgical repair with respect to sex, with two groups of patients being evaluated: male and female.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-centered, consecutive cohort study of patients with AAIA who underwent endovascular treatment or open surgical repair regarding gender. Two groups of patients were evaluated: the male group and the female group.

Early Detection of Compartment Syndrome With Minimal Symptoms: A Case Report on Continuous Pressure Monitoring.

Compartment syndrome (CS) arises from various etiologies but is most commonly associated with severe traumatic injuries. It is a difficult diagnosis to make in a timely fashion because clinical signs and symptoms are subjective. Missing the diagnosis is a devastating mistake for the patient and the physician.

Staff education compared with active real-time waste segregation to reduce the environmental impact of hip and knee arthroplasty.

Aims: Arthroplasty has been shown to generate the most waste among all orthopaedic subspecialties, and it is estimated that hip and knee arthroplasty generate in excess of three million kg of waste annually in the UK. Infectious waste generates up to ten times more CO2 compared with recycled waste, and previous studies have shown that over 90% of waste in the infectious stream is misallocated. We assessed the effect of real-time waste segregation by an unscrubbed team member on waste generation in knee and hip arthroplasty cases, and compared this with a simple educational intervention during the 'team brief' at the start of the operating list across two sites.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Among Undergraduate Medical Students in Egypt: Prevalence and Risk Factors.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal condition that has a detrimental impact on one's quality of life because of acid reflux causing damage to the esophagus. Primary symptoms consist of heartburn and regurgitation, although patients may also encounter chest pain, nausea, and dysphagia. Medical students may be particularly susceptible due to stressful lifestyles and unhealthy habits.

Application of recycled battery graphite decorated with poly hippuric acid/ multiwalled carbon nanotubes as an ecofriendly sensor for serotonin.

A novel modified sensor based on electropolymerization of hippuric acid (HA) using cyclic voltammetry within the potential window - 1 to 1.5 V for 10 cycles at a scan rate 100 mV s over multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on battery graphite electrode (BGE). Poly (HA)/MWCNTs/BGE sensor exhibited two linearity ranges 3.
