Identification of Effectors of Synergistic Lethality in Candida albicans-Staphylococcus aureus Polymicrobial Intra-abdominal Infection
… catheters and deep-seated infections, including intra-abdominal sepsis. Relatively little is known about the complex interactions and signaling events that occur between microbes and even less so how microbial “cross-talk” shapes human health and disease.</p> <p>Using a murine model of …

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 …

Investigations of the Tissue Mechanical Properties and Susceptibility to Histotripsy-Induced Tissue Ablation for Intra-Abdominal Organs
… the mechanical properties of clinically relevant abdominal tissues and critical structures have not yet been adequately quantified under uniform testing parameters. Previous studies have tested and modeled the tissue selectivity of histotripsy, but these studies have been limited by the lack of …

Effekte des intraabdominellen Drucks auf respiratorische Parameter und den Gasaustausch unter druckkontrollierter versus assistierter Beatmung mit BIPAP
… are common in critically ill patients with intra-abdominal hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preserved spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation on hemodynamics, respiratory function and lung injury in experimental intra-abdominal …

Escherichia coli infection: mechanisms and rapid detection of resistance to the association of ß-lactams with ß-lactamase inhibitors, and impact of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic on the morbidity and mortality of intra-abdominal infection
… frequent and severe infections by E. coli¸ the intra-abdominal infections. Piperacillin-tazobactam resistance (P/T-R) is increasingly reported among E. coli isolates. The first objective was to identify the mechanisms underlying P/T-R by following up patients with E. coli complicated …

Testing the metabolic sink postulate: subcutaneous adipose tissue the protective depot
… disease. Specifically, central adiposity, intra-abdominal/visceral adipose tissue accumulation, is associated with adverse metabolic outcomes such as, but not limited to, insulin resistance syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension [1, 2]. Conversely, peripheral adiposity, …

Zugkräfte in der Leistenregion unter standardisierten Bedingungen am Tiermodell
… stresses were imposed by (a) increasing the intraabdominal pressure actively by choughing and (b) passively by a small and a large pneumoperitoneum, (c) isolated maximal electrical stimulation of muscles of the abdominal wall and (d) straightening up into an uprigt position. Changes of …

Bestimmung von pH, pO2, TNF [alpha] und IL-6 in der peritonealen Drainageflüssigkeit zur Früherkennung einer postoperativen Anastomoseninsuffizienz
… the peritoneal fluid changes, which indicate an intra-abdominal infection as a result of an anastomotic leakage. Therefore, several parameters in the peritoneal fluid were analysed, but with very conflicting results. Against this background, a prospective study on 69 patients, who underwent a …

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. …

Preoperative Teaching and its Relationship to Postoperative Recovery
… would make a difference in patient recovery from intra-abdominal surgery.</p> <p>A review of literature served as a guide in defining the needs of patients and in developing class content. An outline, which included deep breathing, coughing, turning, bed exercises and what to expect, was made for …

Examining the Hispanic Paradox in Post-Operative Complication Rates
… complications (POC) among patients undergoing intra-abdominal general surgical procedures. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing appendectomy, cholecystectomy, or colectomy at a single healthcare system over a 12 month period. Medical records were reviewed …

Automatic registration and segmentation of abdominal images and detection of pancreatic cancer
Localized and detailed analyses of 3D abdominal images obtained through different imaging modalities help greatly in determining the progression of a disease or for postoperative treatment / evaluation. However, such analyses become difficult and sometimes unfeasible due to the effects of patient …

Skeletal Status and Bone Turnover in Overweight Young Men with and without Sleep Apnea Syndrome
… immunoabsorbent assay. RESULTS: Fat-free mass, intra-abdominal fat, and fat mass were higher in the SAS and OWT groups (p<0.03). ESS scores revealed that SAS individuals were sleepier than CON and OWT groups (p<0.009). Total body and site-specific BMD and BMC values (lumbar spine, hip, and …
