Hyperplastic Nodular Hepatic Lesions Following End-to-side Portacaval Shunting in Childhood

Ascites following portacaval shunting. Relationship between wedged hepatic venous pressure and ascites.

When present, ascites usually disappears after portacaval shunt. In an oc· casional patient, however, ascites may appear after portacaval shunt even when not present before operation. This work reviews the mechanisms of ascites formation following patent portacaval shunt. Hepatic hemodynamic studies were performed in 24 patients with alcoholic liver disease. The results suggest that ascites is ...

Assessment of Portal and Hepatic Hemodynamics after Side-to-side Portacaval Shunt in Patients with Cirrhosis.

Comparison of nerve repair with end to end, end to side with window and end to side without window methods in lower extremity of rat

  Abstract   Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...

Diurnal rhythm returns to normal after elimination of portacaval shunting.

Previous studies showed that portacaval shunting causes metabolic and behavioral changes in rats. Most metabolic changes reversed within 1-2 wk after restoration of normal circulation. However, the rate of cerebral glucose metabolism (CMRGlc) remained depressed in some areas. The question arose whether complete recovery was possible. Therefore, a long-term behavioral study was undertaken to det...

End-to-end esophagojejunostomy versus standard end-to-side esophagojejunostomy: which one is preferable?

 Abstract Background: End-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. To overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Methods: In this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrec...
