Large bowel obstruction (LBO) is an abdominal emergency with high morbidity and mortality rates if left untreated. LBO is four to five times less frequent than small bowel obstruction (SBO) and the causes of LBO and SBO differ substantially. Colonic malignancy remains the most common cause of LBO (> 60%). Additional causes of LBO include entities such as diverticulitis, colonic volvulus, and ad...

Phytobezoars are a rare cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO) but must be consideration especially in patients with previous gastric surgeriesand the elderly population. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) should done to differentiate between bezoars and other causes SBO. If non operative management fails, surgical removal is recommended treatment.

BACKGROUND Both fish (FO) and flaxseed oils (FLX) are n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Fish oil contains long chain while FLX contains essential n-3 PUFA. We demonstrated that FO altered insulin secretion and resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women but FLX did not. Surprisingly, the effects of FO were similar to those of the n-6 PUFA-rich soybean oil (SBO). Since increased b...

In recent decades, surrogate-based optimization (SBO) has been developed to replace costly models with cheap surrogates improve efficiency. this article, an adaptive parallel infill strategy is proposed balance exploration and exploitation over the design space during process of SBO. Within method, inaccurate search adopted optimize surrogate models, thereby helping locate point. An elite archi...

Geometry optimization and harmonic vibrational frequency calculations have been carried out on the low-lying doublet electronic states of antimony dioxide (SbO(2)) employing a variety of ab initio methods, including the complete active space self-consistent field/multireference configuration interaction and the RCCSD(T) methods. Both large and small core relativistic effective core potentials w...

The effects of palm oil, soybean oil, and perilla oil on the lipid profiles of liyer and serurn were compared in young (1 month old) and adult (8 months old) rats fed on hypercholesterolemic d ets. In young rats, the concentration of serum cholesterol was highest in the order of palm oi] (PAO), soybean oil (SBO), and perilla oil (PEO),, whereas it was comparable among the groups of adult rats, ...

Abstract Improvement of nutritive profile pork sausages was performed by fat reduction and partial substitution backfat with soybean oil (SBO). The control sausage made from backfat. For the studied samples, SBO in native pre-emulsified forms used for at 25% (by wt backfat) to produce various contents (30, 20, 10%). Discontinuity protein matrix could be observed increasing content, especially a...

Korean pine nut oil (PNO) has been reported to have favorable effects on lipid metabolism and appetite control. We investigated whether PNO consumption could influence weight gain, and whether the PNO-induced effect would result in an improvement of immune function in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. C57BL/6 mice were fed control diets with 10% energy fat from either PNO or soybean oil (...

OBJECTIVE Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) and spina bifida occulta (SBO) are widespread within the lumbosacral spine. Their connection to lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and/or lower back pain has been debated in the current literature; however, there is no consensus. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the frequency of LSTV and SBO with that of LDH among you...

BACKGROUND Celiotomy is the most common approach for refractory small bowel obstruction (SBO). Small reviews suggest that a laparoscopic approach is associated with shorter stay and less morbidity. Given the limitations of previous studies, we sought to evaluate outcomes of laparoscopic (L) compared with open (O) adhesiolysis for SBO, using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data...
