Purpose: We investigated the utility of the open abdominal management (OA) technique for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).

Methods: Between January 2016 and August 2021, 33 patients underwent open surgery for rAAA at our institution. The patients were divided into OA (n = 12) and non-OA (n = 21) groups. We compared preoperative characteristics, operative data, and postoperative outcomes between the two groups. The intensive care unit management and abdominal wall closure statuses of the OA group were evaluated.

Results: The OA group included significantly more cases of a preoperative shock than the non-OA group. The operation time was also significantly longer in the OA group than in the non-OA group. The need for intraoperative fluids, amount of bleeding, and need for blood transfusion were significantly higher in the OA group than in the non-OA group. Negative pressure therapy (NPT) systems are useful in OA. In five of the six survivors in the OA group, abdominal closure was able to be achieved using components separation (CS) technique.

Conclusions: NPT and the CS technique may increase the abdominal wall closure rate in rAAA surgery using OA and are expected to improve outcomes.

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the severity of condylar osteoarthritis (OA) and skeletal mandibular retrusion. Three-dimensional cephalometric characteristics of skeletal mandibular retrusion were analysed using computed tomography scans from 15 patients with OA and 15 without OA. Mandibular, dental, and condylar-related factors were evaluated.

Recent findings suggest that combining mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and preoperative oral antibiotics (OAs) decreases the risk of incisional surgical site infections (iSSIs) in colorectal surgery; however, this finding remains controversial. This study examined the efficacy of OAs and MBP in colorectal surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). : Between January 2015 and December 2020, 559 patients with colorectal tumors underwent MBP followed by colorectal surgery.

Diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using standardized uptake value in single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Gangnam Severance Hospital, 211 Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06273, Republic of Korea.

This study aimed to investigate the cutoff values of standardized uptake values (SUVs) and their accuracy using single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination. We included 106 joints of 53 patients with TMJ OA. SUVmax and SUVpeak of each TMJ was measured.

Article Synopsis
  • * It involved 50 participants, comparing 26 OA patients to 24 non-OA controls, assessing pain intensity using visual analogue scales (VAS) and cognitive function through the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI).
  • * Results revealed that OA patients generally performed worse on cognitive tests, with pain severity correlating negatively with cognitive scores, while certain brain biomarkers were found to be positively correlated with pain, indicating that chronic pain and higher Alzheimer’s biomarkers may influence cognitive decline in OA patients.

Factors associated with knee osteoarthritis two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

J Bodyw Mov Ther

October 2024

Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), Department of Special Surgery, College of Medicine, Irbid, Jordan, P.O.Box 3030, Irbid, 22110, Jordan.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to identify factors linked to the presence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in athletes two years after they had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
  • - Findings revealed that 31.7% of athletes developed medial-compartment OA and 19.5% lateral-compartment OA, with age and BMI being significant factors for both types of OA, along with injury specifics.
  • - Conclusions suggest that older age, higher BMI, and meniscus injuries are correlated with more severe medial OA, while lower sports/recreation scores and knee flexion range of motion indicate greater severity in lateral OA.
