The present study evaluated and compared the oxidative stress status of dogs undergoing laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Twelve healthy female dogs were divided into two groups according to the type of the surgical procedure, laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Plasma total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels for the evaluation of oxidativ...

OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive operations, such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy and adrenalectomy, result in a more rapid recovery of normal function, less physiological disturbances and less stress to the organism than similar open operations. The purpose of this study was to determine the stress response associated with minimally invasive abdominal surgery compared to conventional small or larg...

Background. Surgical stress during major surgery may be related to adverse clinical outcomes and early quantification of stress response would be useful to allow prompt interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute phase protein albumin in the context of the postoperative stress response. Methods. This prospective pilot study included 70 patients undergoing frequent abdominal p...

Objective- This study aims at validating the use of serum amyloid A (SAA) as biomarkers of surgical stress using Quantitative ELISA in the Sahel goats. The experiment evaluated SAA profiles of Sahel goats post Diazepam-Lidocaine (DLC) and Diazepam-Bupivacaine (DBC) local anaesthesia. Expressions of SAA in the Sahel goat post rumen skin clamp fixation techniques of rumenotomy wi...

the goal of this prospective study was to determine die prevalence of certain surgical findings in iranian patients with appendicitis in one of our surgical centers, including: position of the appendix, rate of true appendicitis, perforation, and peritonitis. duplication was observed in 4%, surface exudate in 52%, gangrenous necrosis in 27%, swelling in 79%, appendix in the left lower quadrant ...

BACKGROUND Surgical stress can lead to bacterial translocation from the intestine into systemic circulation. Adherence of bacteria onto the glycoconjugates of the brush border membrane (BBM) and surfactant coat (SLP) of the mucosal cells is the first step in the translocation of luminal bacteria. Our earlier study showed that surgical manipulation of the intestine results in oxidative stress le...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to verify the usefulness of Number Scale of 0-10 points (used to assess pain) and the concentration of prolactin (PRL) in the blood serum for the evaluation of stress in patients undergoing surgical intervention on gynaecological wards. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was carried out among 200 patients with different gynaecological illnesses operated in ...

BACKGROUND To investigate preoperative levels of stress and anxiety in day-care patients and inpatients undergoing surgical interventions. METHODS Before induction of anaesthesia, the degree of stress and anxiety was assessed in 135 patients using stress and anxiety questionnaires, bio-feedback, physiological measures, and serum levels for stress variables. Questionnaire responses and physiol...

BACKGROUND Ghrelin is an appetite hormone that influences the gastrointestinal function and regulates energy metabolism. Growing evidence also suggests that this hormone plays a central role in immune modulation. Each surgical operation is followed by a series of inflammatory and metabolic changes that constitute the stress response. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of stress duri...
