A Comparison Of Existing Risk Prediction Models In Patients Undergoing Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, B. Worku, M. Gaudino, D. Avgerinos, K. Ramasubbu, I. Gambardella, I. Gulkarov, S. Khin

Journal Articles

© 2020 The Author(s) Background: Patients undergoing consideration for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) require an immediate risk profile assessment in the setting of incomplete information. A number of survival prediction models for critically ill patients and patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery or institution of VA-ECMO support have been designed. We assess the ability of these models to predict outcomes in a cohort of patients undergoing institution of VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Methods: Fifty-one patients undergoing institution of VA-ECMO support were retrospectively analyzed. APACHE II, SOFA, SAPS II, Encourage, SAVE, and ACEF scores were calculated. Their ability …

Estimated National And Regional Impact Of Covid-19 On Elective Case Volume In Aesthetic Plastic Surgery., D. E. Bregman, T. Cook, C. Thorne

Journal Articles

BACKGROUND:In efforts to help alleviate the strain placed on healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) recommended suspending elective procedures on March 19, 2020. When this suspension was enacted, it was unknown when cases would resume. OBJECTIVES:This analysis aims to estimate the regional economic impact of the pandemic specifically with regards to elective, aesthetic surgical procedures. As knowledge regarding the effects of the pandemic has grown, the authors then evaluated the accuracy of our projected estimates when compared to actual events. METHODS:Using the ASPS 2018 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, regional case volume and surgeons' fees …

Fusiform Superior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysm Treated With Flow Diversion: A Case Report, Y. Serulle, D. Khatri, J. Fletcher, A. Pappas, A. Heidbreder, D. Langer, R. A. Ortiz

Journal Articles

© 2020 Published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of Surgical Neurology International. Background: Fusiform aneurysms of the distal superior cerebellar artery are rare and challenging to treat. Due to the rarity of these lesions, there is little consensus regarding their management. Treatment options have traditionally included parent artery sacrifice with either an endovascular approach or microsurgical clipping. Given the small diameter of the superior cerebellar artery, flow diversion has not been typically considered as a viable treatment option for these aneurysms. Case Description: A 67-year-old female presented complaining of severe sudden onset headache. Noncontrast head CT demonstrated no intracranial hemorrhage. …

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to clarify the role of pancreatic surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic to optimize patients' and clinicians' safety and safeguard health care capacity. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA:The COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacts health care systems worldwide. Cancer patients appear to have an increased risk for adverse events when infected by COVID-19, but the inability to receive oncological care seems may be an even larger threat, particularly in case of pancreatic cancer. METHODS:An online survey was submitted to all members of seven international pancreatic associations and study groups, investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pancreatic surgery …

An Iliac-Appendiceal Fistula Causing Gastrointestinal Bleeding, S. D. Gurien, A. Stright, M. Garuthara, J. D. Klein, M. Rosca Jan 2019

An Iliac-Appendiceal Fistula Causing Gastrointestinal Bleeding, S. D. Gurien, A. Stright, M. Garuthara, J. D. Klein, M. Rosca

Journal Articles

© 2019 The Authors Aortoenteric fistulas are an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, and iliac-appendiceal fistulas are an even rarer cause. We describe a case of an iliac-appendiceal fistula in a patient who presented several months after aortic reconstruction with gastrointestinal bleeding. An extensive workup revealed that the source of bleeding was localized to the appendiceal orifice. The patient underwent an appendectomy with a two-stage procedure involving the iliac graft for definitive repair and ultimately recovered well. Despite the rarity of aortoenteric and iliac-appendiceal fistulas causing gastrointestinal bleeding, keeping a high index of suspicion in patients with a prior vascular …

Adjustable Depth Fractional Radiofrequency Combined With Bipolar Radiofrequency: A Minimally Invasive Combination Treatment For Skin Laxity, E. Dayan, C. Chia, A. J. Burns, S. Theodorou

Journal Articles

© 2019 Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. Increasingly, patients are seeking minimally invasive methods to tighten skin and remodel adipose tissue. A large treatment gap exists among 3 types of patients: (1) the younger demographic, who increasingly desire soft tissue tightening without traditional operations, scars, and downtime; (2) patients with soft tissue laxity who are not severe enough to justify an excisional procedure, but not mild enough to rely on liposuction with soft tissue contraction alone; and (3) those with recurrent laxity who already underwent traditional excisional procedures. In these populations, plastic surgeons risk under- or overtreating with traditional …

Journal Articles

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. Purpose: Current investigational priorities in the treatment of favorable histology Wilms tumor (FHWT) center on accurate staging and risk-stratification. The extent of lymph node (LN) sampling has not been clearly defined; its importance cannot be overstated as it guides adjuvant therapy. The identification of a minimum LN yield to minimize the risk of harboring occult metastatic disease could help development of surgical guidelines. This study focuses on using the beta-binomial distribution to estimate the risk of occult metastatic disease in patients with FHWT. Materials & methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients with unilateral …

Use Of Native Type I Collagen Matrix Plus Polyhexamethylene Biguanide For Chronic Wound Treatment, A. R. Oropallo Jan 2019

Use Of Native Type I Collagen Matrix Plus Polyhexamethylene Biguanide For Chronic Wound Treatment, A. R. Oropallo

Journal Articles

© 2019 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.All right reserved. Background: Chronic wounds represent a significant financial burden to the healthcare system and a quality-of-life burden to patients. Many chronic wounds have elevated bioburden in the form of biofilm, which has been associated with delayed wound healing. This study examined the use of a native type I collagen matrix with the antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PCMP) in the management of bioburden and treatment of chronic, nonhealing wounds over 12 weeks. Methods: A prospective case series of PCMP enrolled adults ≥18 years old with a nonhealing wound. At week 0, the wound was prepared …
