Abstract:
Almost all the Pediatric surgeons and most of pediatric anesthetists are adheredto traditional paed’s solution against recommendations due to fear of hypoglycaemia and notbeing aware of hyponatremia. Objective: To compare the effects of balanced salt solutionwith1% dextrose and Pead’s solution on blood glucose and sodium levels in pediatric surgicalpatients intra operatively. Study Design: Interventional quasi experimental study. Setting:Department of Anesthesia, Intensive care and pain medicine in Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital Rahim Yar Khan (Pakistan). Period: December 2014 to February 2015. Methodology:60 patients were enrolled and divided into equal groups named after their respective iv fluidsi.e.‘Pead’s Solution’ & ‘RLD1’. Patients aged between 1 month and 08 years, without genderdiscrimination, with ASA 1,2 , fasted according to ASA guidelines undergoing elective surgicalprocedure general anesthesia were included in this study. Blood sampling for levels of serumsodium and glucose was done pre-operatively and 01 hour post-operatively. Results: Inimmediate post-operative period incidence of hyperglycemia was statistically higher in ‘Pead’sSolution’ group (93.3%;28/30) vs ‘RLD1’ group(10%;3/30) p=0.000. Relative risk was 9.3 in‘Pead’s Solution’ compared with ‘RLD1’ solution. Hyponatremia was statistically higher in‘Pead’s Solution’ group (56.6%; 17/30) than in‘RLD1’ group (16.6%;5/30) p=0.001. Relative riskwas 3.4 in ‘Pead’s Solution’ compared with ‘RLD1’ solution. Hypoglycemia and hypernatremiawere not found in any patient in either group. Conclusion: Our results reflected that ‘RLD1’isa better option than ‘Pead’s Solution’ as it is less likely to cause hyponatremia and doesnotcause hypoglycemia. However a large number of clinical trials in almost every teaching hospitalare required to convince pediatric surgeons and anesthetists to use evidence based solutions.

Abstract:
Introduction: the surgical treatment of inguinal hernia has increased in the last decade and its prevalence is not known. Objective: Characterization of patients with inguinal hernia ambulatory surgical treatment. Methods: an observational, descriptive and prospective study of 972 patients with the diagnosis of inguinal hernia was performed, which were operated on an outpatient basis in the General Teaching Hospital "Enrique Cabrera" since January. From 2009 to December 2020. Emergency operated patients were excluded. Results: the highest incidence of inguinal hernia was found between the ages of 60 and 80 years. Indirect right inguinal hernia appeared more frequently. Desarda's anatomic surgical technique was the most applied in 410 (42,1%) of the cases and Lichtenstein's hernioplasty with 224 (23.0%) followed in frequency. There was a total of 5 (0.5%) recurrences. Local anesthesia was applied in 828 (85.2%) of the patients, on an outpatient basis they were 100%. The total complications were 42 (4.3%). Conclusions: surgical treatment of inguinal hernia on an outpatient basis is an appropriate process. It creates comfort in patients, decreases the risk of hospital infection, and reduces waiting lists and hospital costs.

Abstract:
Disc herniation is pathologically divided into four stages of herniated nucleus pulposus: 1) bulging, 2) protrusion, 3) extrusion, 4) sequestration. The most important symptom of disc herniation is pain. Patients with symptoms undergoing urgent surgical intervention are 2% of the total. The aim of this study is to establish the efficiency of the physical therapy applied to patients after disc herniation surgery. The research covered 89 patients who had undergone lumbar spine surgery – 47 (or 52,8%) women and 42 (or 47,2%) men. The data was processed through basic descriptive statistical parameters: frequencies and percentage. The non-parametric methods that were applied were the χ2 test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The following conclusions can be drawn from the obtained data: disc herniation was most often located in L5-S1 in 47,2% of the cases, then in L4-L5 in 46%, and in L3-L4 in 6,7%; in 51,68% of the cases, the disc herniation was located on the right side, and in 48,3% on the left side; the muscle grade before dorsiflexion surgery was 1 in 2,2% of the patients, 2 in 5,6%, 3 in 10,1%, and 4 in 82,0%; the muscle grade after dorsiflexion surgery was 2 in 1,1% of the respondents, 3 in 6,7%, 4+ in 22,5%, and 5 in 69,7%; the muscle grade before plantarflexion surgery was 2 in 5,6% of the respondents, 3 in 7,9%, and 4- in 86,5%; the muscle grade after plantarflexion surgery was 3 in 3,4% of the respondents, 4 in 14,6%, and 5 in 82,0%.

Abstract:
Humoral immune function was studied in surgical patients. The antibody response to vaccination with a protein antigen, tetanus toxoid (TT), was reduced among all patients, especially those with reduced delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and increased degree of physiological derangement. The antibody response to a polysaccharide antigen, pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS), was normal. In trauma patients, the antibody response to TT was normal. The in vitro production of specific and total immunoglobulin (Ig) by blood mononuclear cells was studied. Patients that failed to produce a serum antibody response to TT also failed to produce anti-TT in vitro. Anti-PPS production was normal. More total Ig was produced by patients, especially those with reduced DTH responses. Some patients showed a reduction, rather than the normal increase, in Ig synthesis with mitogen stimulation. These data show evidence of humoral immune deficiency to protein antigens, and in vivo activation of the B cell system.

Abstract:
The focus of this MS. thesis is the surgical management of both malignant pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma. Section I of this dissertation is devoted to the management of malignant pleural mesothelioma. In Chapter 1, a systematic review on extrapleural pneumonectomy-based multi-modality treatment is presented. Chapter 2 is a critical analysis of prospectively collected data on surgical management of pleural mesothelioma. Chapter 3 focuses on extrapleural pneumonectomy and Chapter 4 examines the pattern of recurrence following extrapleural pneumonectomy. Section II of the dissertation is dedicated to the management of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. As part of my research, I conducted a multicenter registry study on cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal mesothelioma. Chapter 5 reviews the current literature on the combined treatment approach for peritoneal mesothelioma. Chapter 6 analyzes the prognostic indicators and survival results of 405 patients with peritoneal mesothelioma from this multicenter registry. In the final chapter, a novel tumor—node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for peritoneal mesothelioma is proposed.

Abstract:
Obesity in the United States has increased to epidemic numbers over the last decade. Practitioners need to reverse the trend. To address the problem of depression in obesity, a practice guideline from a bariatric clinic for under-served populations was proposed to an expert panel. The Spell Out on First Use (PHQ-9) screening is a valid and reliable self-screening tool to assist the practitioner in determining the level of depression if any. The PHQ-9 has nine questions. No formal screening existed at the bariatric clinic, and the practice guideline (with algorithm and revised workflow) was proposed for use at the clinic. The expert panel consisted of the medical director, a surgeon, a psychiatrist, and a nurse practitioner at the clinic. The expert panel reviewed the materials and made one recommendation: to implement the PHQ-9 upon intake when the patient is being admitted to the program, and the panel recommends administering PHQ-9 prior to assessment by practitioners All panel members were in agreement about full implementation of the practice guideline, provided that an educational program on the revised workflow in the clinic was first presented. The expert panel also reviewed and approved the algorithm and the treatment pathways identified for patients to use in the practice after the results of the PHQ-9 are compiled. It is expected that use of the depression screening tool and recommended guidelines in the bariatric clinic will result in more effective treatment for the patients and thus better outcomes-a significant positive social change.

Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of a triple sugar test of intestinal permeability as a surrogate marker of gut barrier function in surgical patients. Methods: Original laboratory work included the development of a technique for the quantification of urinary sucralose using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with refractive index detection. Other techniques used included HPLC analysis of urinary lactulose and rhamnose, quantification of urinary 51Cr-EDTA by gamma counting, and a lactulose-hydrogen breath test. The triple sugar test involved ingestion of a test drink containing sucralose (5g), lactulose (5g) and rhamnose (1g). Urine was collected for 24 hours in 2 aliquots (first 5 and last 19 hours) and sugar concentrations determined by HPLC. A 51Cr-EDTA test was administered separately as an independent measure of “whole-gut” permeability. Healthy volunteers (n=21) and ileostomists (n=18) were studied in order to investigate the sites of absorption of sugar probes. A number of patient groups were then studied; these included subjects with Crohn’s disease (n=16),acute colitis (n=18), IBS (n=11), acute pancreatitis (n=9) and patients undergoing chemotherapy (n=7). Results: Assays for urinary sugars were both accurate and precise (coefficient of variation approximately 5%). Studies in ileostomists and controls indicated that 24-hr sucralose excretion represented “whole-gut” permeability, whereas the 5-hr lactulose/rhamnose excretion ratio represented small intestinal permeability. Small intestinal permeability was increased in subjects with Crohn’s disease (p=0.007) and acute pancreatitis (p=0.004), versus controls. “Whole gut” permeability was significantly increased in patients with Crohn’s (p=0.001) and pancreatitis (p<0.001), and significantly reduced in patients undergoing chemotherapy (p=0.012). The proportion of sucralose excreted in the last 19 hours of collection was significantly increased in patients with Crohn’s (p=0.026), acute colitis (0.023) and acute pancreatitis (p=0.049), implying an increase in colonic permeability.

Abstract:
Every year, millions of Americans suffer from either chronic or acute pain that results in tremendous healthcare cost, rehabilitation, and loss of work productivity. Pain is an unpleasant sensation associated with sensory and emotional experiences that can cause potential or actual tissue damage. One plausible solution to managing pain is the use of nonpharmacological modalities such as guided imagery. The purpose of this project was to determine if there was a difference in pain scores following pharmacological interventions and the use of guided imagery among postoperative same day surgical patients. Guided imagery is a nonpharmacological modality that uses pictures, music, and imaginary scenes to help heal the body in addition to using relaxation techniques and mental images for the management of pain. This project included the translation of evidence into practice using guided imagery on a 25-bed same day surgery unit (N = 34 patients), guided by Kolcaba's comfort theory. The findings of this project included using guided imagery for same day surgery patients who rated their pain greater than 4 on the traditional pain scale of one to ten, with one equaling no pain and ten equaling worst pain. The results of the evaluation showed a significant decrease in pain scores between premedication to postmedication (p < 0.001), premedication and postguided imagery (p < 0.001), and postmedication and postguided imaginary (p < 0.001). Guided imagery has been demonstrated to be efficient and cost effective methods to reducing pain. This project indicated that use of nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions working together could be more effective for pain management in same day surgical patients.

Abstract:
Minimally invasive abdominal surgery (laparoscopy) results in superior patient outcomes as measured by less painful recovery and an earlier return to functional health compared to conventional open surgery. However, the difficulty of manipulating traditional laparoscopic tools from outside the patient’s body generally limits these benefits to patients undergoing procedures with relatively low complexity. The use of miniature in vivo robots that fit entirely inside the peritoneal cavity represents a novel approach to laparoscopic surgery. Our previous work has demonstrated that mobile and fixedbased in vivo robots can successfully operate within the abdominal cavity and provide surgical vision and task assistance. All of these robots used tethers for power and data transmission. This paper describes recent work focused on developing a modular wireless mobile platform that can be used for in vivo sensing and manipulation applications. The robot base can accommodate a variety of payloads. Details of the designs and results of ex vivo and in vivo tests of robots with biopsy grasper and physiological sensor payloads are presented. These types of self-contained surgical devices are much more transportable and much lower in cost than current robotic surgical assistants. These attributes could ultimately allow such devices to be carried and deployed by non-medical personnel at the site of an injury. A remotely located surgeon could then use these robots to provide critical first response medical intervention irrespective of the location of the patient.

Abstract:
"Patients suffering from oncological diseases are the focus of attention of both physicians and psychologists. Although tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues are a relatively rare condition, its effect on the person’ mind and lifestyle are significant, and its treatment is a challenge, also in terms of patient’s adaptation to the disease and therapy. There are various strategies for treating this pathology; all of them are associated with high-tech medicine focused on maintaining or improving patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present research is to study the psychological characteristics and QoL of patients undergoing surgical treatment of tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues of lower limbs. Material and methods. 36 patients were examined (mean age 58,22; 19 – men). The SF-36 questionnaire, Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), and Big Five Personality Test (BFI) were used. Treatment by means of the isolated limb perfusion technique was prescribed to 15 patients (group 1); 21 patients were subjected to lower limb amputation due to their disease (group 2). Results. It was found that patients who underwent amputation are characterized by lower rates on the coping scale ‘accepting responsibility’ than patients from the perfusion group (p < 0.05); at the same time, patients from the second group had higher values on the ‘openness’ scale of the BFI compared to the first group (p < 0.1). The study of the relationship between patients’ QoL parameters, personality and coping showed that in the first group the values on the coping scale ‘seeking social support’ negatively correlate with ‘bodily pain’ (p < 0.01), and ‘escape–avoidance’ negatively correlates with ‘social functioning’ (p < 0.01). In the second group, the following significant correlations between personality traits and QoL were revealed: ‘extraversion’ is positively associated with ‘physical functioning’, ‘role-emotional’ and ‘mental health’ (p < 0.01), ‘agreeableness’ has a negative correlation with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘neuroticism’ is negatively related with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘openness’ is positively associated with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01). Conclusion. The data obtained emphasizes the importance of taking into account personality characteristics in the management of patients with cancer, including tumor lesions of the bones and soft tissues, as well as the dynamic nature of QoL and its close interconnection with the stage and strategy of treatment and patients’ personality. Psychological support for patients is required for their successful adaptation to the illness and therapy. Acknowledgement.

Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays, healthcare centers are not familiar with quantitative approaches for patients’ gait evaluation. There is a clear need for methods to obtain objective figures characterizing patients’ performance. Actually, there are no diffused methods for comparing the pre- and post-operative conditions of the same patient, integrating clinical information and representing a measure of the efficiency of functional recovery, especially in the short-term distance of the surgical intervention. To this aim, human motion tracking for medical analysis is creating new frontiers for potential clinical and home applications. Motion Capture (Mocap) systems are used to allow detecting and tracking human body movements, such as gait or any other gesture or posture in a specific context. In particular, low-cost portable systems can be adopted for the tracking of patients’ movements. The pipeline going from tracking the scene to the creation of performance scores and indicators has its main challenge in the data elaboration, which depends on the specific context and to the detailed performance to be evaluated. The main objective of this research is to investigate whether the evaluation of the patient’s gait through markerless optical motion capture technology can be added to clinical evaluations scores and if it is able to provide a quantitative measure of recovery in the short postoperative period. A system has been conceived, including commercial sensors and a way to elaborate data captured according to caregivers’ requirements. This allows transforming the real gait of a patient right before and/or after the surgical procedure into a set of scores of medical relevance for his/her evaluation. The technical solution developed in this research will be the base for a large acquisition and data elaboration campaign performed in collaboration with an orthopedic team of surgeons specialized in hip arthroplasty. This will also allow assessing and comparing the short run results obtained by adopting different state-of-the-art surgical approach for the hip replacement.

Abstract:
Introduction: The majority of SBOs develop secondary to postoperative adhesions, however nonsurgical etiologies must also be considered. Patients with no surgical history can develop SBO secondary to hernias, radiation, and other miscellaneous causes. Materials and Methods: Five cases of intestinal occlusion in a patient without previous abdominal surgery are presented. Discussion: Small bowel obstruction has been recognized as a life-threatening disease process. Stable patients should undergo conservative treatment and progress to surgical intervention only after failure of conservative treatment. Conclusion: Intestinal occlusion in patients without previous surgeries is a challenge for the Surgeon.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the natural pregnancy outcomes(IUP,REP) of ectopic pregnancy patients by comparing MTX versus surgery, MTX versus salpingostomy, MTX versus salpingectomy, salpingostomy versus salpingectomy, MTX versus expectant treatment. Condition being studied: Ectopic pregnancy(EP) remains one of the most common gynecological emergencies and a leading cause of maternal death in early pregnancy, Increase infertility and repeat ectopic pregnancy. Surgical treatment is considered the gold standard treatment, but with advances in early diagnosis, such as β -hCG levels and transvaginal ultrasound, EP can be diagnosed in the early stage, and the emergency operation rate and mortality rate of ectopic pregnancy are significantly reduced, and some patients can choose to expectant treatment or medical treatment, such as methotrexate (MTX). Naveed AK et al. suggests that expectant treatment is as safe and effective as MTX in EP patients with stable hemodynamic conditions and decreased or low β -hCG levels. The overall success rate of MTX is reported to be as high as 90% when choosing good indications. There is an increasing attention to reproductive outcomes for EP patients, especially for those who want to have a child, so it is crucial to clarify the impact of each treatment modality on natural pregnancy outcome.
