revealed no findings of bullae in the entire left lung, but inflammatory pleural changes were identified on the interlobular
surface of the left lower lobe. In addition, hard, twig-like configurations were clearly palpable in the subpleural parenchyma

Conclusions Long-standing huge goiters are common in iodine-deficient endemic areas. The majority of patients have symptomatic or clinicoradiological

with huge goiters. The surgery is technically demanding with greater associated chances of injury to native structures. Malignancy
influences the presentation and outcome in smaller goiters. In centers with experienced endocrine surgeons and dedicated anesthetists,
huge goiters can be successfully managed with minimal short-term and long-ter...

Conclusion One-third to one-half of patients experience pain and discomfort during and immediately after ERCP when it is performed with

However, randomized trials are warranted.

Abstract
Background Morbidly obese patients (BMI > 40 kg/m2) are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism, especially after surgery. Despite limited evidence, morbidly obese patients
are often administered a double dose of nadroparin for thromboprophylaxis compared to non-obese patients. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the influence of different body size descriptors on anti-Xa levels after a double dose of nadroparin
(5,700 IU) in morbidly obese patients.
Methods In 27 morbidly obese patients with a mean total body weight of 148 kg (range 107–260 kg...

Discussion Mesothelial cells play a crucial physiological role in frictionless gliding of the serosa and the maintenance of an antiadhesive

humoral factors. Therefore, optimization or functionalization of barrier materials by developments interacting with this cascade
on a structural or pharmacological level could give an innovative input for future strategies in peritoneal adhesion prevention.
For this purpose, the proper understanding of the formal pathogenesis of adhesion formation i...

morbidity continues to perplex clinicians. Significant morbidity occurs with recurrence, re-recurrence and complications such
as obstructions, principally with mesh repair. When primary closure is not possible, mesh repair is indicated. While there
are several non-absorbable prosthetic, absorbable biosynthetic and composite mesh types available, the ...

An 11 years old boy came, with complain of mild dysarthria. Examination revealed marked hemiatrophy of left side of the tongue. Five months back he underwent ipsilateral branchial cyst operation. To our knowledge, no case was reported. After branchial cyst operation if there is any residual remnant chance of recurrence is very high.

Successful Treatment for Infected Aortic Aneurysm Using Endovascular Aneurysm Repairs as a Bridge to Delayed Open SurgeryEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Management of infected aortic aneurysms, which can be life-threatening, remains challenging. Open surgical treatments, including debridement of the infected aorta and the surrounding tissue and either in situ reconstruction or extra-anatomic bypass covering with omentum or muscle flap, are the mainstay of therapy. However, increasing advances in technology have made endovascular treatment of infected aneurysms feasible. The present study describes the first clinical report of successful treatment of an infected aneurysm using endovascular techniques in the acute phase, followed by delayed open surgery.

We report an unusual case of Clostridium septicum aortitis with associated adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. An 87-year-old man with multiple medical comorbidities presented with a 1-week history of severe abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant of his abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography showed, in addition to a mass in the sigmoid colon, a gas density within the wall of the abdominal aorta with extensive periaortic fat stranding and some additional gas densities in the proximal left common iliac artery. The patient refused surgery, and was treated with intravenous antibiotics. He died 5 weeks later. The developmen...

This report is the first to describe the clinical, radiographic, operative, and pathologic findings associated with large, bilateral dorsalis pedis artery true aneurysms in a single patient. A 61-year-old African American woman complained of difficulty in wearing shoes. She had a moderately firm, nontender, pulsatile mass on the dorsum of her right foot. Computed tomography and angiography confirmed dorsalis pedis artery aneurysm with sufficient collateralization. She underwent resection without reconstruction. Pathologic analysis revealed a true aneurysm (8 × 5.3 × 4.1 cm3) containing intralumenal thrombus. Treatment f...

Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe a case of delayed axillary artery pseudoaneurysm, presenting as single complication after anterior shoulder dislocation reduction, which was successfully managed by surgical intervention—resection–anastomosis. Although uncommon, pseudoaneurysms should not be forgotten after trivial trauma. The early diagnosis of upper-limb pseudoaneurysms should prevent the risk of vascular and neurological compromises with potential serious long-term sequelae. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Despite the rarity of femoral aneurysm and the plethora of other causes of swelling in and around its anatomic location, the possibility of its existence must always be borne in mind. A rare case of metachronously bilateral femoral aneurysms mimicking soft tissue sarcoma in a young Nigerian man is presented. Caution in the diagnosis of groin masses is hereby re-emphasized.

This article presents the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome due to fibrosing mediastinitis with multiple failed attempts at recanalization. We initially treated him with unilateral sharp needle recanalization of the right innominate vein into the SVC stump followed by stenting. Although his symptoms improved immediately, they did not completely resolve. Six months later, he returned with worsening symptoms, and venography revealed in-stent restenosis. The patient requested simultaneous treatment on the left side. The right stent was dilated, and a 3-cm-long occlusion of the left...
