Pain can effect self-efficacy mobilization. purpose this study is analyze relationship between post-surgical patients.Methods: used a correlation descriptive design with cross sectional approach total sample 62 post...

OBJECTIVE To analyze pre-surgical predictive factors of post-surgical pain in patients undergoing hip or knee arthoplasty. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed. We defined a sensitive strategy on Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library up to May 2013.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cyanotic congenital heart disease which, without corrective surgery, has a poor prognosis. These patients have an increased incidence of arrhythmias both supraventricular and ventricular post surgical correction. The supraventricular arrhythmias are usually related to the scar tissue at the surgical repair site. We present a case of a young male patient status pos...

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...

Introduction: Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common lifelong condition affecting up to 50% of those suffering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT). PTS compromises function and quality life with...

BACKGROUND A chronic state of impaired glucose metabolism affects multiple components of the immune system, possibly leading to an increased incidence of post-operative infections. Such infections increase morbidity, length of stay, and overall cost. This study evaluates the correlation between elevated pre-operative glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and post-operative infections. STUDY DESIGN ...

Diagnosing bone infection in its acute early stage is of utmost clinical importance as the failure to do so results in a therapeutically recalcitrant chronic infection that can only be resolved with extensive surgical intervention, the end result often being a structurally unstable defect requiring reconstructive procedures. [(18)F]-FDG-PET has been extensively investigated for this purpose, bu...

Objectives: Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies have shown efficacy in the prevention of recurrence of Crohn’s disease after intestinal resection. However, some patients develop surgical recurrence despite this therapy. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for recurrence of Crohn’s disease requiring surgery while receiving post-operative anti-TNF therapy. Methods: We performed a retros...

Introduction: Intra-thoracic goiter refers to the extension of enlarged thyroid tissue into the thoracic inlet.
