Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the role of Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the cause of acute abdominal pain in 50 adults presenting in the ER at Sohag University Hospital and compares it to the Computed Tomography scan results of the same patients to discover the superiority of both over the other in the diagnosis of different acute abdomen cases.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of the ERAS protocols compared to a conventional care protocols in patients who received emergency laparotomy. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can the ERAS protocols be used safely and effectively in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy? Participants will be randomised into the ERAS group and the conventional group and will be given the ERAS protocols and the conventional protocols in the perioperative period. Researchers will compare the ERAS group with the conventional group to see if the ERAS programme is effective.
The primary aim of this project is to increase the knowledge about how perforations in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine are treated on a national level. Furthermore, secondary aims include assessment of how different treatment options and type of treating facilities relate to patient survival. This will be done by studying information about all adult patients with an upper GI perforation treated in Sweden during 2005-2023.
Introduction Laparoscopy can be used to diagnose and treat the etiologies of acute abdominal pain. This study aimed to assess laparoscopy's effectiveness in upper gastrointestinal (G.I.T) emergencies regarding intra-and postoperative outcomes. Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted in the emergency departments of Zagazig University on 215 patients who had upper abdominal emergency surgeries between June 2017 and June 2020.
This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial included all patients who developed the manifestations of appendicular abscess and referred to the Zagazig University Hospital Emergency Department between January 2020 and February 2022. The study was prospectively approved by Zagazig University Faculty of Medicine Institutional Review Board (Approval Number: 55342/24.1.2020). The sample size was 172 patients divided into two equal group group (1) laparoscopic group involved 86 patients & group (2) interventional radiology group involved 86 patients.
The term "acute abdomen" is often used to describe the manifestations of any serious intraperitoneal disease, which may indicates surgical intervention. Acute abdomen in pregnancy accounts for approximately 7-10% of all abdominal emergencies. Several pathologies could contribute acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. They include obstetric and non-obstetric causes. As for the non-obstetric causes , any gastrointestinal or urological disorders could be presented by an acute abdominal pain. In pregnancy, several factors overlap and making the diagnosis challenging. These factors include the distorted anatomy by the growing uterus that displaces intraperitoneal structures. Additionally, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are considered the normal course during pregnancy especially at the first trimester. Moreover, sure diagnosis must be achieved to operate in a pregnant woman with more possible morbidity and mortality for the mother and\or fetus.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause mild to severe respiratory infections. 2019-nCoV is a novel coronavirus that was discovered in Wuhan, China. Since its discovery in humans in late 2019, it has had a global, rapid spread. Dry cough, fever, and fatigue are the most common symptoms in the first two to 14 days after exposure. At the moment, it is unknown how common gastrointestinal symptoms are. However, COVID-19's initial clinical presentations have become more evident as the pandemic has progressed and case data has been gathered, and literature suggests that digestive symptoms are prevalent . In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 47 studies involving 10,890 patients with COVID-19, the pooled prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms were 7.7 % for diarrhea, 7.8% for nausea/vomiting, and 2.7% for abdominal pain. Only a few cases of isolated abdominal pain have been reported. A wide range of diseases can cause acute abdominal pain, and diagnosing them can be difficult. The examining physician should prioritize life-threatening conditions that may necessitate immediate surgical intervention with such a broad differential diagnosis to avoid further mortality or morbidity. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics, incidence, severity and of acute abdominal pain (medical and surgical causes) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of the preoperatively applied Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block in the management of acute appendicitis-related abdominal pain and post-appendectomy pain.
The refeeding syndrome has been reported without any evidence of prolopnged semistarvation, thus being different from the traditional disease. The investigators wanted to investigate, if sodium infusions could be part of the explanation.
Selenium is an important trace element for human for its multiple roles such as the antioxidant activity. Previous evidences showed that critically ill patients may benefit from selenium supplement but the dose and results are controversial. Patients after operations for acute abdomen usually suffer from sepsis and stress. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of selenium replacement in critical patients of acute abdomen, to see the impact on prognosis.
