Spontaneous bilateral cornual uterine dehiscence early in the second trimester after bilateral laparoscopic salpingectomy and in-vitro fertilization: case report. (2/277)

A bilateral cornual uterine dehiscence is reported, which occurred 14 weeks after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in a patient having a medical history of previous bilateral salpingectomy via laparoscopy. Uterine rupture is a rare obstetric complication usually occurring during the third trimester of pregnancy within a uterus which has previously undergone an operation. Ectopic pregnancy is a well known complication of IVF. Post-salpingectomy cornual localization with rupture has also been published. Possible causes are discussed and the attention of the counselling physician is directed to the necessary awareness of such a complication in this high risk population. The reported case is an extreme rarity: a similar case has not been previously published in the literature. (+info)

The impairment of wound healing process is correlated with abnormalities of TNF-alpha production by peritoneal exudate cells in obstructive jaundiced rats. (3/277)

The wound healing process and production of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) by peritoneal cells of 7-day and 14-day obstructive jaundice (OJ) and sham-operated rats were investigated. In the study the skin wound breaking strength was measured. In addition such histological and biochemical parameters as fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation, inflammatory cell infiltration and hydroxyproline content were evaluated in polyurethane sponge discs implanted subcutaneously into rats. TNF-alpha production by peritoneal exudate cells (PEC), both spontaneous and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced was determined by a bioassay. In OJ rats the process of both early as well as late phase of healing was impaired. The breaking strength of skin wound was decreased, the fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation and collagen deposition, as well as hydroxyproline content were diminished. In 7 day OJ the numbers of inflammatory cells in the implants were lowered with a subsequent slight increase on day 14 of OJ. The spontaneous and LPS induced TNF-alpha production by PEC were significantly higher in 7 day OJ as compared with sham-operated controls. On day 14 of OJ the LPS-induced TNF-alpha level was, in contrast, much lower and did not differ much from the spontaneous TNF-alpha production. We conclude that the impairment of wound healing in OJ results from disturbances in functioning of the immune system caused by systemic endotoxaemia. (+info)

Comparison of closure of subcutaneous tissue versus non-closure in relation to wound disruption after abdominal hysterectomy in obese patients. (4/277)

AIMS: To evaluate the role of subcutaneous tissue closure in relation to wound disruption after abdominal hysterectomy in obese patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a prospective study at a tertiary referral centre in Mumbai, India, 60 obese patients with subcutaneous fat more than 2.5 cms were included in the study. In 30 patients, subcutaneous tissue was closed using synthetic suture (dexon) while in 30 control patients subcutaneous tissue was not closed. Average weight in the study and control groups were 69 -/+ 9.2 kg and 63.3 -/+ 11.2 kg respectively. RESULTS: The wound disruption occurred in 5 patients in non-closure group as compared to only one in the closure group. Incidence of seroma, haematoma formation and other wound complications were higher in the non-closure group. CONCLUSIONS: Closure of the subcutaneous tissue after abdominal hysterectomy of women with at least 2.5 cms of subcutaneous tissue lowers the overall rate of complications leading to disruption of the incision.

Management of complications of tracheal surgery--a case of dehiscence. (5/277)

We report a case of tracheal stenosis in a patient with immune thrombocytopenia who presented 4 yr after splenectomy. The 20-yr progression of the stenosis and management, including resection, is charted. The period after resection was complicated by wound infection, surgical emphysema, mediastinitis and dehiscence of the anastomosis of the trachea. The management of patients with tracheal lesions is discussed, but concentrates on airway care after tracheal resection when complications developed. A laryngeal mask airway was used to stabilize an uncuffed tracheal tube at the site of dehiscence. (+info)

Closure of abdominal wounds by adhesive strips: a clinical trial. (6/277)

In a randomized trial of wound closure in 512 abdominal wounds, wounds were closed with either reinforced Steristrip skin closures or interrupted silk sutures. Comparisons were made of wound pain and discomfort, wound infection, discharge, redness, width, and skin reaction. The causes of peeling of the tapes were assessed. The results showed that tapes were significantly more comfortable and that patients preferred them to sutures (P less than 0.01), but wide scars occurred more often. There was no difference in rates of wound infection and no case of allergy to the tapes was seen. Closure of abdominal wounds by these tapes is a satisfactory procedure that could be used more extensively. (+info)

Photochemical keratodesmos for repair of lamellar corneal incisions. (7/277)

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of photochemical keratodesmos (PKD) for closing surgical incisions in the cornea of enucleated rabbit eyes compared with that achieved using sutures and self-sealing incisions. METHODS: A 3.5-mm incision, at an angle parallel to the iris, was made in the cornea of enucleated New Zealand White rabbit eyes. The intraocular pressure required to cause leakage (IOP(L)) from the untreated incision was then recorded. Photochemical keratodesmos treatment was then performed by application of a dye, Rose Bengal (RB), in saline solution to the surfaces of the incision wound, followed by laser irradiation at 514 nm from an argon ion laser. Immediately after treatment, the IOP(L) was measured. Both dose and laser irradiance dependencies were studied in five or more eyes for each condition and appropriate control eyes. The IOP(L)s were compared with those obtained using conventional interrupted 10-0 nylon sutures. Other dyes were tested in a similar fashion. RESULTS: The IOP(L) of 300 mm Hg was obtained using a fluence of 1270 J/cm(2) with an irradiance of 1.27 W/cm(2) (laser exposure time, 16 minutes 40 seconds). No sealing was observed using dye or light alone where control pressures of approximately 30 mm Hg were found. At higher dose (1524 J/cm(2)) and irradiance (3.82 W/cm(2); 6 minutes 35 seconds), PKD was less effective, which may be attributable to thermal effects. PKD produced IOP(L)s similar to those in closure by sutures. Other dyes such as riboflavin-5-phosphate and N:-hydroxy-pyridine thione also produced efficient bonding after PKD. Nonphotochemically active dyes did not produce significant increases in the IOP(L) at which leakage occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in IOP(L) after PKD treatment, comparable with that with sutures, in enucleated rabbit eyes demonstrates the feasibility of this technique ex vivo. (+info)

Prediction of uterine dehiscence by measuring lower uterine segment thickness prior to the onset of labor: evaluation by transvaginal ultrasonography. (8/277)

OBJECTIVE: Lower uterine segment thickness was measured by transvaginal ultrasound examination and its correlations with the occurrence of uterine dehiscence and rupture was examined. METHODS: The thickness of the muscular layer of the lower uterine segment was measured in 186 term gravidas with previous uterine scars and its correlation with uterine dehiscence/rupture was investigated. RESULTS: Uterine dehiscence was found in 9 cases or 4.7%. There were no cases of the uterine rupture. The thickness of the lower uterine segment among the gravidas with dehiscence was significantly less in than those without dehiscence (p< 0.01). The cut-off value for the thickness of the lower uterine segment was 1.6 mm as calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. The sensitivity was 77.8%; specificity 88.6%; positive predictive value 25.9%; negative predictive value 98.7%. CONCLUSION: Measurement of the lower uterine segment is useful in predicting the absence of dehiscence among gravidas with previous cesarean section. If the thickness of the lower uterine segment is more than 1.6 mm, the possibility of dehiscence during the subsequent trials of labor is very small. (+info)

Surgical wound dehiscence is a medical condition in which a surgical incision or wound opens up or separates from the surrounding tissue. This can occur due to various factors, including infection, poor wound healing, excessive tension on the wound, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or malnutrition. Surgical wound dehiscence can lead to a range of complications, including infection, bleeding, and damage to underlying organs or tissues. It may require prompt medical attention, including wound cleaning and dressing changes, antibiotics, and in severe cases, surgical repair. Preventing surgical wound dehiscence is an important aspect of post-operative care, and may involve measures such as proper wound care, maintaining good nutrition and hydration, managing underlying medical conditions, and avoiding activities that may put excessive strain on the wound.

Surgical wound infection is an infection that occurs in the surgical site after a surgical procedure. It is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that enter the body through the incision or other surgical opening. The infection can cause redness, swelling, pain, warmth, and pus or drainage from the wound. In severe cases, it can lead to fever, chills, and sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition. Surgical wound infections can be prevented by following proper surgical techniques, using antibiotics when necessary, and keeping the wound clean and dry. If a surgical wound infection does occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent complications and ensure proper treatment.

A wound infection is an infection that occurs in a cut, scrape, or surgical incision. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other microorganisms that enter the body through the wound. Symptoms of a wound infection may include redness, swelling, warmth, pain, pus, and a foul odor. If left untreated, a wound infection can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition that can cause organ failure and even death. Treatment for a wound infection typically involves antibiotics, wound cleaning and dressing changes, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have a wound infection to prevent further complications.

Postoperative complications are adverse events that occur after a surgical procedure. They can range from minor issues, such as bruising or discomfort, to more serious problems, such as infection, bleeding, or organ damage. Postoperative complications can occur for a variety of reasons, including surgical errors, anesthesia errors, infections, allergic reactions to medications, and underlying medical conditions. They can also be caused by factors such as poor nutrition, dehydration, and smoking. Postoperative complications can have serious consequences for patients, including prolonged hospital stays, additional surgeries, and even death. Therefore, it is important for healthcare providers to take steps to prevent postoperative complications and to promptly recognize and treat them if they do occur.

In the medical field, "wounds and injuries" refer to any type of damage or harm that is inflicted on the body, typically as a result of an external force or trauma. This can include cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns, fractures, and other types of physical trauma. Wounds can be classified based on their depth and severity. Superficial wounds only penetrate the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and are typically easy to treat. Deeper wounds, such as lacerations or punctures, can penetrate the dermis or subcutaneous tissue and may require more extensive medical attention. Injuries can also be classified based on their cause. For example, a fall may result in both a wound (such as a cut or bruise) and an injury (such as a broken bone or concussion). Injuries can be further classified based on their location, severity, and potential long-term effects. The treatment of wounds and injuries typically involves cleaning and dressing the affected area, administering pain medication if necessary, and monitoring for signs of infection or other complications. In some cases, more extensive medical treatment may be required, such as surgery or physical therapy.

Intestinal perforation is a medical condition in which there is a hole or tear in the wall of the intestine. This can occur due to various causes, such as trauma, infection, or underlying medical conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. When the wall of the intestine perforates, the contents of the intestine can leak out into the surrounding tissue, causing an infection called peritonitis. This can be a life-threatening condition if not treated promptly. Symptoms of intestinal perforation may include severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting, and a fast heart rate. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans, and treatment may involve surgery to repair the perforation and remove any infected tissue.

In the medical field, ear diseases refer to any disorders or conditions that affect the structures and functions of the ear. The ear is a complex organ that is responsible for hearing, balance, and maintaining the inner ear pressure. Ear diseases can affect any part of the ear, including the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Some common ear diseases include: 1. Otitis media: Inflammation of the middle ear that can cause pain, fever, and hearing loss. 2. Tinnitus: A ringing or buzzing sound in the ear that can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, noise exposure, and ear infections. 3. Conductive hearing loss: A type of hearing loss that occurs when sound waves cannot pass through the outer or middle ear. 4. Sensorineural hearing loss: A type of hearing loss that occurs when the inner ear or auditory nerve is damaged. 5. Meniere's disease: A disorder that affects the inner ear and can cause vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. 6. Otosclerosis: A condition in which the bone in the middle ear becomes too hard, leading to hearing loss. 7. Ear infections: Infections of the outer, middle, or inner ear that can cause pain, fever, and hearing loss. 8. Earwax impaction: A blockage of the ear canal caused by excessive buildup of earwax. Treatment for ear diseases depends on the specific condition and can include medications, surgery, or other interventions. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of an ear disease to prevent further complications.

Cefazolin is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and infections of the bones and joints. It is a cephalosporin antibiotic, which means that it works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Cefazolin is usually given intravenously (into a vein) or intramuscularly (into a muscle) and is typically used in hospital settings. It is important to note that cefazolin may not be effective against all types of bacteria, and it is important to use the medication as directed by a healthcare provider.

In the medical field, suppuration refers to the process by which pus is formed and discharged from a wound or infected area of the body. Pus is a thick, yellowish-white fluid that contains white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria. Suppuration is a natural response of the body's immune system to fight off infection. It helps to remove harmful bacteria and other microorganisms from the body and prevent the spread of infection. However, excessive or prolonged suppuration can be a sign of a more serious infection and may require medical intervention, such as the use of antibiotics or drainage of the infected area.

Hearing loss, conductive, is a type of hearing loss that occurs when sound waves are not able to reach the inner ear properly due to a problem with the outer or middle ear. This type of hearing loss is usually caused by a blockage or damage to the ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear bones (ossicles). Conductive hearing loss can be temporary or permanent, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including ear infections, earwax buildup, exposure to loud noises, head injuries, and certain medications. Treatment for conductive hearing loss depends on the underlying cause. For example, if the hearing loss is caused by earwax buildup, it can be treated with earwax removal. If the hearing loss is caused by a blockage or damage to the eardrum or ossicles, surgery may be necessary to restore normal function. In some cases, hearing aids or cochlear implants may also be used to improve hearing.

In the medical field, "Abdomen, Acute" refers to a sudden and severe condition that affects the abdominal region of the body. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, injuries, blockages, or other medical conditions. Symptoms of an acute abdomen may include severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, fever, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, and loss of appetite. In some cases, an acute abdomen may also be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, or fainting. Diagnosis of an acute abdomen typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the condition and may include medications, surgery, or other medical interventions. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you experience symptoms of an acute abdomen, as delay in treatment can lead to serious complications.
