TITLE: Non-invasive measurement of intra-abdominal pressure by assessment of abdominal wall tension AUTHORS:

Background: Sustained increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has negative effects. Non-invasive IAP measurement is beneficial with regard to patient safety and in patients in whom invasive IAPmeasurements are unreliable. We assessed the relation between IAP and abdominal wall tension (AWT) in vitro and in vivo. Materials and methods: The abdomens of 14 corpses were insufflated with air. IAP w...

Thermotherapy--an alternate minimally invasive treatment for BPH.

Comparing a non-invasive hemodynamic monitor with minimally invasive monitoring during major open abdominal surgery

As part of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, the goal-directed fluid management with hemodynamic monitoring can effectively guide perioperative fluid use and significantly improve the outcomes in high-risk patients undergoing major surgeries. Several minimally invasive and non-invasive monitoring devices are commercially available for clinical use. As part of an internal eval...

Intra-abdominal fat. Part II: Non-cancerous lesions of the adipose tissue localized beyond organs

Adipose tissue does not belong to the most favorite structures to be visualized by ultrasound. It is not, however, free from various pathologies. The aim of this paper is to make abdominal cavity examiners more familiar with non-cancerous lesions found in intra-abdominal fat. The main focus is lesions that are rarely discussed in the literature. Visceral adiposity is one of important pathogenet...
