Filter by:Radius distal end fractures are common orthopedic injuries. Many methods have been described in the treatment of distal radius fractures. The fixation of radius distal end fracture with volar plate was first applied by Ellis in 1965. Over the years, ideas have been put forward on the materials used for plates and the radiolucent carbon fiber plates has been used. These plates cause less artifact in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance examinations (MRI), allow a better evaluation of the fracture, exhibit biomechanical characteristics close to the cortical bone, and do not cause a coldwedding in patients.
This study aims to compare two groups of post-orthopedic patients who received a standard regimen, namely ketorolac 30mg, to the second group, which was given the standard regimen and adjuvant magnesium sulfate 30mg/kgBW 1 hour preoperatively. If it is proven useful, it is hoped that pain will be more controlled, reduce pain complications, reduce treatment costs, and reduce the duration of hospital stays.
Obesity, caused by caloric intake over output, has become a global health problem. The relationship between sleep and obesity is widely discussed in the literature. Little is known regarding the compliance of sleep quality and patients' weight loss. This study aimed to review how sleep quality is affected by bariatric surgery, examine whether compliance with sleep quality can be predicted after bariatric surgery, and assess its correlation with excess weight loss.
A retrospective cohort study of Differential Attainment, COVID and Chaos: taking the difference out of a terrible trinity
This study compared the learning curves and outcome of Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy between 'pioneers' and early adopters in terms of feasibility and proficiency using short term outcomes.
When an individual encounters nociceptive pain stimuli, the pupil dilates in a unique manner known as Pupil reflex dilation (PRD).The degree of pupillary reflex dilatation can be further quantified into an objective parameter, termed the Pupillary pain index (PPI), as a monitoring tool for the balance between nociception and antinociception in surgical patients The motivation for this study is to investigate the feasibility of using pupillometry to assess acute pain after shoulder surgery. The purpose of the study is as follows: (1) Can PDR in patients undergoing general anesthesia be used to assess the analgesic effect of interscalene block? (2) Does PPI at the end of surgical anesthesia in such patients correlate with the first numerical pain scale (NRS) during the recovery room?
This paper is intended to report our observational study in evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Tan Tock Seng Hospital hepatopancreatobiliary unit's surgical workload from January to June across 2019 to 2022, corresponding to the pre-pandemic baseline to its peak and the gradual normalization of hospital services as Singapore entered the transition phase to COVID-19 resilience.
Background: Comparison between three different surgical techniques in the management of concealed penis. Methods: This prospective interventional non-randomized study included 150 pediatric patients with concealed penis. They were distributed equally into three groups; group A; patients treated by phallopexy only, group B; patients treated by complete dissection and excision of dartos fascia & group C; patients treated by both phallopexy and dartos excision.
Sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedure, carries limitations both short-term including postoperative complications such as hemorrhage and gastric fistula and long-term such as weight regain and gastro-esophageal reflux. A new procedure has been proposed to overcome many of these limitations: laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty (LVCG) with Bariclip. Primary outcome were major postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, incidence of de-novo GERD and comorbidity resolution.
To gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of intraoperative hypocapnia, in particular the associations of intraoperative hypocapnia with patient demographics, ventilator characteristics, and perioperative complications we will perform an individual patient-level meta-analysis of two recent randomized clinical trials of intraoperative ventilation, the 'PROtective Ventilation using High versus LOw PEEP trial' (PROVHILO), and the 'Protective intraoperative ventilation with higher versus lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure in obese patients trial' (PROBESE).
