Presentation
A novel technique is presented that allowed advancing the flap over the graft in a single-tooth restoration where enough keratinized tissue was present preoperatively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Surgical Procedure
Yet, notwithstanding the frequency of surgical procedures and their often critical importance to patient health, no state or federal agency either approves the use of new surgical procedures or directly regulates existing procedures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Weakness
CONCLUSIONS: Observational studies with PS analysis in surgery are increasing in frequency, but specific methodological issues and weaknesses in reporting exist. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the elderly, symptoms of cholecystitis may be nonspecific (eg, anorexia, vomiting, malaise, weakness), and fever may be absent. [msdmanuals.com]
But when they aren’t rejected by nerve tissue, such attachments tend to receive weak signals. A stronger signal comes from attaching nerve endings to small muscle grafts that amplify the signal and relay it using electrodes. [sciencemag.org]
You have weakness with your muscle spasm. You have a muscle spasm that does not stop and it spreads to other parts of the body. [medlineplus.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
Be sure to take your prescribed medications as directed to prevent pain, infection and/or constipation. Call your team with any new or worsening symptoms. There are ways to manage constipation after your surgery. [oncolink.org]
Constipation or, less commonly, diarrhea. When to see a doctor Get medical attention anytime you have constant, unexplained abdominal pain, particularly if you also have fever and constipation or diarrhea. [mayoclinic.org]
It is often associated with constipation, and less frequently, with chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that involve the anus and rectum. Sometimes, the cause is unknown. [healthcommunities.com]
But you'll still need to eat a high-fiber diet, avoid constipation, and take care of your bottom to help prevent new hemorrhoid flare-ups. Talk to your doctor to figure out what's right for you. [webmd.com]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Biliary Colic
You may experience similar pain during an episode of biliary colic. However, pain associated with acute cholecystitis is usually persistent, whereas the pain of biliary colic usually goes away within one to five hours. [your.md]
Symptoms and Signs Most patients have had prior attacks of biliary colic or acute cholecystitis. The pain of cholecystitis is similar in quality and location to biliary colic but lasts longer (ie, > 6 h) and is more severe. [msdmanuals.com]
Chronic cholecystitis is characterized by repeated attacks of pain (biliary colic) that occur when gallstones periodically block the cystic duct. [merckmanuals.com]
Pain typically persists for more than six hours, in contradistinction to the intermittent right upper quadrant pain of biliary colic. [radiopaedia.org]
Workup
The workup demonstrated massive osteolysis involving the proximal, diaphyseal,and distal femur as well as multiple soft tissue cystic masses but no metastases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Incidental thyroid nodules on CT or MRI: Discordance between what we report and what receives workup. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2015 Dec;205(6):1281-1287. doi: 10.2214/AJR.15.14929. PubMed PMID: 26587935. [choosingwisely.org]
[…] acute cholecystitis MRI without contrast is useful for eliminating radiation exposure in pregnant women when ultrasonography has not yielded a clear diagnosis Contrast agents should not be used in patients on dialysis unless absolutely necessary See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
X-Ray
- Pneumoperitoneum
The abdomen suddenly becomes distended, infants develop respiratory distress, and massive pneumoperitoneum is seen on abdominal x-ray. This disorder has a high mortality rate (25%), which is even greater in premature infants (60%). [merckmanuals.com]
Laboratory
- Leukocytosis
Blood tests showing elevated levels of white blood cells (leukocytosis), elevated C-reactive protein, may be signs of infection and inflammation. [rarediseases.org]
Its signs and symptoms are very similar to those of appendicitis, such as abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa, nausea, vomiting, fever and leukocytosis, being the same the main differential diagnosis. [medcraveonline.com]
Leukocytosis with a left shift is common. In uncomplicated acute cholecystitis, liver function tests are normal or only slightly elevated. [msdmanuals.com]
The symptoms and signs of the disease are well known to closely mimic acute appendicitis with abdominal pain, low-grade fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, and leukocytosis [5]. [hindawi.com]
Diagnosis Laboratory tests are not always reliable, but the following findings may be diagnostically useful: Leukocytosis with a left shift may be observed Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels may be elevated in cholecystitis [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Pain and tenderness improved remarkably after teriparatide treatment for 1 month, and these symptoms disappeared after teriparatide treatment for 9 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
To improve the prognosis of such patients, the establishment of an adequate surgical procedure for satisfactory debridement and drainage is essential. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Up to now, its etiology remains unknown, and the best surgical procedure is still an area to explore in the future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of gastric perforation is uncertain, but the perforation may be due to a congenital defect in the stomach wall, usually along the greater curvature. [merckmanuals.com]

Effective therapy required aseptic surgery as well as pathophysiological knowledge – both unavailable before the late nineteenth century. [doi.org]

Prevention
Better consensus of terminology and surgical procedure is warranted to enable further research aimed at preventing POP among women undergoing hysterectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The end of the ureter is surrounded by bladder muscle in this new position, which prevents urine from backing up (refluxing) toward the bladder. [phoenixchildrens.org]
