Most umbilical hernias in infants do not need surgery and the ring will eventually close. Occasionally few complications can arise and incarceration is most common. Spontaneous rupture of the hernia and eventual evisceration is a rarely seen complication. A 3-week-old neonate having umbilical hernia presented with rupture of the sac with evisceration of bowel within a few days of first visit. N...

The ejection of internal organs, i.e., evisceration, is a well-known phenomenon in sea-cucumbers. We report the ability of a member of the Chordate phyla, the tropical ascidian Polycarpa mytiligera, to eviscerate and regenerate its gut within 12 days, and to rebuild its branchial sac within 19 days. Evisceration occurred within 4-43 seconds of gentle mechanical pressure exerted on the tunic in ...

PURPOSE To assess orbital volume in weaned rabbits, submitted to enucleation and evisceration, with orbital volume reconstitution using porous polyethylene (PP) spheres, analyzed by computed tomography, by the water displacement test and external orbital measures using Image-J software. METHODS This experimental randomized study consisted of 48 albino rabbits, with 42 days of life, submitted ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the porous polyethylene multipurpose conical orbital implant for use in evisceration. METHODS A retrospective review of 31 eyes that underwent evisceration and received the multipurpose conical orbital implant. The orbits were evaluated at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months after final prosthetic fitting for implant exposure, superior sulcus deformity...

This study investigates the microbiological conditions of large game animal carcasses following evisceration. Carcasses of animals (N=291) hunted in the Upper Susa Valley (Italian Alps) were analysed for pH, Aerobic Viable Count (AVC), Enterobacteriaceae, Yersinia spp., Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. After shooting, evisceration occurred within 60 min in 90.7% of animals and samplin...

Panophthalmitis is the most extensive ocular involvement in endophthalmitis with inflammation in periocular tissues. Severe inflammation of the anterior and posterior segments is frequently accompanied by corneal opacity, scleral abscess, and perforation or rupture. Enucleation or evisceration was the only remaining viable treatment option when all options to salvage the eye had been exhausted....

Keratoplasty has become more common as a result of the development of microsurgical techniques, improvement in eye banking procedures, and increased awareness regarding tissue and body transplantation. Postoperative care and patient awareness have been found to be at least as important as surgical performance. Despite these developments, complications are still common. Because of new topical an...

Campylobacter is a foodborne pathogen commonly found in live poultry and raw poultry products. Identifying areas of contamination or modes of transmission during commercial processing can lead to strategies to reduce the level of Campylobacter on finished products. Monitoring levels of airborne Campylobacter may be useful for identifying the presence or relative concentration of the pathogen in...
