Many differential diagnoses are more frequently suspected and radiological examinations can be helpful. However, an emergency surgery is mandatory in order to avoid septic shock and resect the lesion, sometimes at the cost of bowel resection. Laparoscopic or endoscopic treatments are feasible but are not the standard in emergency cases.

Acute presentation of cystic lymphangioma of the colon is very scarce and can be life-threatening leading to urgent open surgery, although endoscopic or laparoscopic treatment remain feasible. Further studies are needed to select which technique is suitable for this disorder.

Secondary hepatolithiasis can occur as a result of bilioenteric stenosis or biliary anastomosis stenosis. The incidence of secondary hepatolithiasis appears to increase with increasing rates of hepatobiliary surgery. Here we report the first reported case of secondary hepatolithiasis.

A 57-year-old female patient complaining of jaundice all over the body since two years ago. The jaundice was intermittent and progressive. There was a history of previous bilioenteric bypass hepaticojejunostomy Roux-en-Y due to common bile duct cyst. On investigation, we found obstructive jaundice due to stricture of bilioenteric anastomosis type II after bilioenteric bypass hepaticojejunostomy Roux-en-Y with hepatolithiasis type II LR, according to the Takada classification. We did laparotomy found bilateral hepatic duct dilatation, we make incision and remove multiple stones. And then, we performed choledochoscope and confirm total occlusion of tract to distal common hepatic duct. We performed reconstruction Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with stenting. During the follow-up period, our patients were disease-free.

Stricture of bilioenteric anastomosis were successfully treated by surgical reconstruction Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and stenting. This management has a good outcome and could be an effective alternative to surgery.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, routine clinical practices were affected, including pediatric surgery services. We aimed to compare pediatric surgery practices, including the number and types of surgery, either elective or emergency surgeries and outpatient services, before the outbreak and during the COVID-19 pandemic in our institution.

We retrospectively compared pediatric surgery practices, including elective and emergency surgeries, and outpatient services between the previous one-year period (March 2019-February 2020), the last three months of that period (December 2019-February 2020) before the outbreak, and the three months (March-May 2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic in our hospital.

The frequency of elective surgeries during the pandemic was lower than during the last three months before the outbreak 61 vs. 18 (~3-fold), 19 vs. 13 (~1.5-fold), 19 vs. 5 (~4-fold), and 30 vs. 15 (~2-fold) for digestive, neonate, urology and oncology cback needs a comprehensive strategy to avoid morbidity from the neglected elective surgeries during the pandemic, including the proper comparison between the real risk of COVID-19 cross-infection and the benefits of elective procedures.

Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) is an abnormal drop in blood pressure (BP) that occurs following orthostatic challenge. see more OH is associated with increased risk of falls, cognitive impairment and death. White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) on MR Brain are associated with vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and age. We examined whether extent White matter intensities were associated with presence of OH detected in a community dwelling population of older people.

Individuals from the MR sub-study of the Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing underwent a 3 Tesla MR Brain scan to assess WMH severity (Schelten's Score). The scans were performed during the Wave 3 TILDA health assessment phase when the subjects also underwent assessment for OH with an active stand protocol. Data was analysed for association between WMH and vascular risks and orthostatic change in BP 10 second intervals during the OH evaluation.

440 subjects were investigated; median age 72 years (65-92 years) and 228 (51.5%) female. Range of Scheltens' Scores was 0-32. Mean score was 9.72 (SD 5.87). OH was detected in 68.4% (301). On linear regression, positive associations were found between Scheltens' Score and age, hypertension, prior history of stroke and TIA, and with OH at 30, 70, 90 and 100 seconds following standing (p < 0.05, O.R. 1.9-2.5).

WMD is associated with OH detected at multiple time points using active stand in community dwelling older subjects. Further research is necessary to evaluate the direction of this association.

Animal studies that are focused solely on translational potential, may not sufficiently document unexpected outcomes. Considerable amounts of data from such studies could be used to advance veterinary science. For example, sheep are increasingly being used as models of intensive care and therefore, data arising from such models must be published. In this study, the hypothesis is that there is little information describing cardiorespiratory physiological data from sheep models of intensive care and the author aimed to analyse such data to provide biological information that is currently not available for sheep that received extracorporeal life support (ECLS) following acute smoke-induced lung injury. Methods Nineteen mechanically ventilated adult ewes undergoing intensive care during evaluation of a form of ECLS (treatment) for acute lung injury were used to collate clinical observations. Eight sheep were injured by acute smoke inhalation prior to treatment (injured/treated), while another eight were not injured but treated (uninjured/treated).
