BACKGROUND Ischemia is a troublesome problem that can cause intestinal emergencies and complicate the treatment. Identification of a chemical agent with beneficial effects on the healing process in risky colon anastomosis with the aim of reducing leakage rates is a popular topic in the era of surgical research. Data is lacking about the role of amelogenin, an extracellular matrix protein, durin...

A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was: In [patients undergoing oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer] is a [cervical anastomosis or intrathoracic anastomosis] superior in terms of [post-operative outcomes]. In total, 47 papers were found suitable using the reported search, and nine of these represented the best evidence to answer the cl...

Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a monogenic congenital disorder characterized by occipital encephalocele, polydactyly, and polycystic kidneys. This incompatible with life. We report case diagnosed on fetal ultrasound at gestational age of 22 SA 6 days, presenting the clinical triad syndrome. A medical termination pregnancy was indicated. From this rare case, through review literature, we will discuss...

BACKGROUND Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is a genetically heterogeneous severe ciliopathy characterised by early lethality, occipital encephalocele, polydactyly, and polycystic kidney disease. PURPOSE To report genetic analysis results in two families in which all known MKS diseases genes have been excluded. METHODS In two consanguineous families with classical MKS in which autozygome-guided...

Meckel Gruber Syndrome is a rare syndrome inherited as Mendelian autosomal recessive condition. The affected infant usually has a large occipital encephalocoele associated with renal cysts and sometimes polydactyly. The prognosis is poor. The affected child is still born or dies early in infancy. If diagnosis is done by prenatal ultrasound examination termination of pregnancy can be done.

Rhizoctonia-like fungi were isolated from the infected roots of miniature rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Linda) plant with chlorosis and necrosis symptoms, grown in commercial glasshouse in Rafsanjan, Iran, during the autumn of 2011. All of the isolates were identified as binucleate Rhizoctonia sp. on the basis of hyphal characteristics and nuclei number. They were tested for detection of the anastomos...

The experiments in this report were designed to evaluate the effect of superficial temporal-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis on the course of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion by emboli while avoiding a vessel clipping technique as well as the use of long-acting barbiturate anesthesia. Dogs were divided into 3 general groups: A) embolus placement 1 h following anastomosis; B) e...
