ABSTRACT
Minimal invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the typical surgical treatment for cholelithiasis (gallstones), where patients present with a history of upper abdominal pain and episodes of biliary colic. The classic technique for minimal invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves four ports: one umbilicus port, two subcostal ports, and a single epigastric port. The Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) has instituted a six-step strategy to foster a universal culture of safety for cholecystectomy and minimize risk of bile duct injury. The technical steps are documented within the context of the surgical video for (1) achieving a critical view of safety for identification of the cystic duct and artery, (2) intraoperative time-out prior to management of the ductal structures, (3) recognizing the zone of significant risk of injury, and (4) routine intraoperative cholangiography for imaging of the biliary tree. In this case, the patient presented with symptomatic biliary colic due to a gallstone seen on the ultrasound in the gallbladder. The patient was managed a mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy using 3mm ports for the epigastric and subcostal port sites with intraoperative fluoroscopic cholangiogram. Specifically, the senior author encountered a tight cystic duct preventing the insertion of the cholangiocatheter and the surgical video describes how the author managed the cystic duct for achieving a cholangiogram, in addition to the entire technical details of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Anaphylactic shock
Anaphylactic shock samer kareem 1,592 Views • 2 years ago

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to, such as a peanut or the venom from a bee sting. The flood of chemicals released by your immune system during anaphylaxis can cause you to go into shock; your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking normal breathing. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include a rapid, weak pulse, a skin rash, and nausea and vomiting. Common triggers of anaphylaxis include certain foods, some medications, insect venom and latex. Anaphylaxis requires an immediate trip to the emergency department and an injection of epinephrine. If anaphylaxis isn't treated right away, it can lead to unconsciousness or even death.

Intestino Irritable Tratamiento, Colon Irritable, Tratamiento Para El Colon Irritable--- http://intestino-irritable-tratamiento.plus101.com --- Si usted está sufriendo de Síndrome del Intestino Irritable SII, aquí hay una serie de técnicas y estrategias que se conocen para aliviar grandemente los síntomas a largo y corto plazo. La alimentación es la fuente de energía primordial que tenemos y es por eso que hay que darle una importancia suprema a la hora de querer atacar los síntomas del SII. Se recomienda el consumo de hierbas, tales como: manzanilla, consuelda, aceite de onagra, bálsamo de limón, hinojo, canela, nuez moscada, cúrcuma, todas las especias y enzimas digestivas. Todas ellas producen grandes beneficios para su organismo, dentro de los cuales destacamos: La manzanilla actúa como carminativo, así como calmante y agente tonificante para el tracto digestivo. Los aceites esenciales de manzanilla también han contribuido a aliviar cólicos intestinales e irritación en los animales. La manzanilla se toma normalmente tres veces al día, entre las comidas, en una forma de té. La consuelda tiene un uso como agente tópico para mejorar la cicatrización de heridas, úlceras en la piel, tromboflebitis y torceduras. También se utiliza para las personas con problemas gastrointestinales, como úlceras de estómago y el síndrome del intestino irritable, y para quienes sufren problemas pulmonares. Una combinación de menta, comino y otras dos hierbas carminativas (para aliviar los gases), semillas de hinojo y ajenjo, han resultado ser un tratamiento eficaz para los dolores abdominales. La acacia tiene un alto contenido de fibra y con frecuencia se recomienda para aliviar la irritabilidad intestinal. Las frutas como la papaya, el plátano, el mango, la piña, las fresas y los arándanos son altamente recomendables. Las verduras como las patatas dulces, la calabaza y las zanahorias no pueden dejar de ser parte de su dieta. Tenga cuidado con algunos de los medicamentos recetados para el SII ya que algunos de ellos han sido retirados del mercado debido a que contenían ingredientes tóxicos. Algunos ingredientes contenidos en medicamentos de venta libre para el resfriado también han demostrado efectos negativos en pacientes con SCI. Recomendamos las gotas de zinc como una alternativa durante un resfriado ya que no irrita el estómago y tiene visibles resultados de estímulo inmunológico. Los alimentos que se deben evitar: lácteos, huevos (especialmente la yema debido al alto contenido de grasa), brócoli, maíz, aceites hidrogenados, jarabe de maíz alto en fructosa, manzanas (debido al alto contenido de fructosa), frijoles, chocolate (debido a la cafeína) , café, té con cafeína.

This is a technique of correcting knock knee (genu valgum) deformity by surgery. Highligh of the technique is that the bone is not cut, but merely weakened.

A modified radical mastectomy is a procedure in which the entire breast is removed, including the skin, areola, nipple, and most axillary lymph nodes; the pectoralis major muscle is spared. Historically, a modified radical mastectomy was the primary method of treatment of breast cancer. [1, 2] As the treatment of breast cancer evolved, breast conservation has become more widely used. [3, 4] However, mastectomy still remains a viable option for women with breast cancer. [5, 6]

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition in which extra bone grows along one or both of the bones that form the hip joint — giving the bones an irregular shape. Because they do not fit together perfectly, the bones rub against each other during movement. Over time this friction can damage the joint, causing pain and limiting activity.

Genetic Disorders And Diseases
Genetic Disorders And Diseases samer kareem 4,460 Views • 2 years ago

Genes are the building blocks of heredity. They are passed from parent to child. They hold DNA, the instructions for making proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells. They move molecules from one place to another, build structures, break down toxins, and do many other maintenance jobs. Sometimes there is a mutation, a change in a gene or genes. The mutation changes the gene's instructions for making a protein, so the protein does not work properly or is missing entirely. This can cause a medical condition called a genetic disorder. You can inherit a gene mutation from one or both parents. A mutation can also happen during your lifetime.
