A Study of Raised Intra-abdominal Pressure and the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Liver Intensive Care
Introduction<br/>Interest in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement has increased significantly, with evidence of its deleterious effects demonstrated on every organ. Despite the volume of publications – several assumptions relating to the measurement of IAP remain unproven and there is a …

The utility of abdominal ultrasound in the diagnosis of paediatric abdominal tuberculosis: a single centre review
… Ultrasound is commonly used in diagnosing abdominal TB, however the indications for its use are unclear and often vary amongst clinicians. Objective: In this study, we describe the findings of ultrasound examinations performed for suspected abdominal TB at a tertiary children's hospital and …

Risk Factors in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
The mortality rate of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been reported to be as high as 85%. Evidence suggests that ultrasound screening reduces overall and AAA-related mortality. The aim of this study was to identify and document risk factors for AAA from the largest Welsh cohort …

ABDOMINAL PRESSURE PROFILING IN ADULT HORSES
Measurement of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is essential for documentation and monitoring of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). IAH and ACS are two linked conditions significantly associated with morbidity and mortality in critically ill humans. …

Molecular genetics of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disorder and a major cause of death. Pathological processes involved in AAA formation include inflammation, proteolysis, angiogenesis and apoptosis. It has also a strong familial predisposition with linkage studies identifying chromosomes 19q13 and 4q31 …

Corticotropin-releasing factor and acute post-operative gut function in truamatic abdominal injury and elective abdominal surgery
… of CRF in critically ill adults with traumatic abdominal injury compared with elective surgical patients, and describe any association of CRF levels with alterations in acute post-operative gastrointestinal function. Eight patients with haemorrhagic shock following penetrating abdominal injury …

Adhesive and signaling mechanisms in abdominal sepsis
… reveal pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in abdominal sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). It was found that immunoneutralization of LFA-1 or Mac-1 not only reduced neutrophil infiltration but also protected against sepsis-caused lung damage. We observed that HMG-CoA reductase …

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Different Aspects on Screening
Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a hideous life threatening disease that most often is asymptomatic until it ruptures. Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a painful and serious predicament with a mortality of 80-90%. Half of the patients die before arriving to hospital, leaving …

Aorto-enteric Fistula Following Abdominal Aorta Surgery
<p>Forty-six aorto-enteric fistuiae following abdominal aorta surgery are here recorded. A number of these have never before been recorded in the literature. For the first time sixteen cases of these aorto-enteric fistulae that were subjected to surgical intervention have been tabulated. Twelve of …

Progress in synthetic materials for abdominal wall repair
To improve overall patient outcome after abdominal wall surgery, including patient discomfort, chronic pain and thus quality of life, 3 issues are the pillars of this thesis: 1. Facilitation of surgical technique and the role of the materials used 2. Importance of correct flat positioning of a mesh …
