Malignancy predictors and treatment strategies for adult intestinal intussusception.

Intussusception in adult patients is a rare medical finding, which is accompanied by an underlying tumor in some cases. However, no accepted method has been established to identify patients at risk for tumor-related intussusception. This study aimed to identify imaging features as predictors for tumor-related intussusception.

Impact of simulated patient-based communication training vs. real patient-based communication training on empathetic behaviour in undergraduate students - a prospective evaluation study.

Background: Empathy is a key competency and is essential for doctor-patient relationships. Studies have proven a continuous reduction of empathy in medical students during their study period. The use of SPs is positively evaluated for competency acquisition and real patient communication training has positive effects on empathy empowerment.

Transplant Nephrectomy: A Comparative Study of Timing and Techniques in a Single Institution.

BACKGROUND Transplant nephrectomy (TN) has historically been associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Our objective is to share our own experience and compare indications and surgical outcomes between early and late TN and intracapsular (ICAN) and extracapsular allograft nephrectomy (ECAN) techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study included all 69 TN procedures performed between January 2010 and February 2021.

Background: Mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening condition with a complex etiology and diagnostics.

Objective: Etiology, incidence, symptoms, and diagnostics of acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia.

Material And Methods: Literature search via PubMed with a focus on studies on the epidemiology and diagnostics of mesenteric ischemia and analysis of existing international guidelines.

Short-term outcome of diverting loop ileostomy reversals performed by residents: a retrospective cohort prognostic factor study.

Aim: The reversal of diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) is one of surgical trainees' first procedures. Complications of DLI reversal can cause life-threatening complications and increase patient morbidity. This study compared DLI reversals performed by surgical trainees with those by attending surgeons.
