Human Innate Lymphoid Cell Subsets Possess Tissue-Type Based Heterogeneity in Phenotype and Frequency.

Animal models have highlighted the importance of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in multiple immune responses. However, technical limitations have hampered adequate characterization of ILCs in humans. Here, we used mass cytometry including a broad range of surface markers and transcription factors to accurately identify and profile ILCs across healthy and inflamed tissue types.

Results of 7302 stapled haemorrhoidectomy operations in a single centre: a seven-year review and follow-up questionnaire survey.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the results of all 7302 stapled haemorrhoidectomy operations performed in a single centre.

Method: A retrospective review of all 7302 patients who underwent stapled haemorrhoidectomy at our department over seven years was conducted. The hospital database was reviewed for subsequent readmissions and re-operations.

Short-term results of DST EEA 33 stapler and neu@ anoscope for stapled haemorrhoidectomy: a prospective study of 1,118 patients from a single centre.

Background: Stapled haemorrhoidectomy has been performed with different techniques and staplers. We review our initial experience with the new DST EEA 33 stapler and neu@ anoscope.

Methods: A review of all patients who underwent stapled haemorrhoidectomy using the DST EEA 33 over a 14-month period was conducted.

The evaluation of CEEA 34 for stapled hemorrhoidectomy: results of a prospective clinical trial and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: Stapled hemorrhoidectomy (SH) has routinely been performed using Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids Proximate Hemorrhoidal Circular Staplers (Ethicon Endo-surgery, Cincinnati, OH). Premium Plus CEEA 34 (Tyco Healthcare, New Haven, CT) has been recently introduced for SH. This study aims to review the effectiveness of CEEA 34 for SH.

A case report of endovascular stenting in Salmonella mycotic aneurysm: a successful procedure in an immunocompromised patient.

Introduction: Mycotic aneurysms are associated with high mortality rates and are managed in the local setting with extra-anatomical bypass followed by ligation, exclusion and debridement of the aneurysm. This is the first case of successful endovascular stenting in an immunocompromised patient with Salmonella mycotic aneurysm.

Clinical Picture: A middle-aged man who was HIV positive had Salmonella septicaemia.
