Plasma and epiploic fat drug concentrations and fat penetration of ceftriaxone and ornidazole given for antimicrobial prophylaxis were studied in 11 patients scheduled for liver transplantation. Ceftriaxone (1 g) and ornidazole (500 mg) were infused during 30 min after the induction of anesthesia. Arterial blood and epiploic fat samples were collected at 30, 60, and 120 min and then every 90 mi...

malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma which predominantly surfaces in the retro-peritoneum and extremity. mfh of lung is a very rare condition. the diagnosis is essentially through histologic examination. however, the invasion of the chest wall or other organs might help establish the malignant nature.we report a case of a 77-year-old man who had been prese...

sternal non-:union: is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mtc-mdp) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone non:union: to predict the healing response for proper management.  in this report, we present the case of a marked sternal non:union: follow...

sternal non-union is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mtc-mdp) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone nonunion to predict the healing response for proper management.  in this report, we present the case of a marked sternal nonunion following...

apexification is a method of inducing apical closure for non-vital immature permanent teeth. during this treatment a mineralized barrier is induced [with long term calcium hydroxide (ch) treatment]; or artificially created [with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) plug]. this article describes two cases of apexification in immature necrotic teeth treated with these two different techniques. after ...

Lung cancer rarely involves the peritoneum without involvement of other metastatic sites. The most common regions of metastasis are the pleura, lung parenchyma, skeletal system, liver, brain, and adrenal glands. Compared with pleural metastasis, peritoneal involvement is rarely encountered in lung carcinoma. Ascites development is often described during late stages of the disease, following dia...

BACKGROUND In modern obstetrics caesarean sections are commonly used and in all caesarean sections either peritoneal closure is done or not. This cases series was conducted to record outcomes in our setup. METHODS Cases of caesarean sections were followed for adhesions and non-adhesions in peritoneal closure and non-closure cases from 1't January to December 2011 at DHQ Hospital Haripur. In n...

We here document discovery of a new and simple model of tumor seeding involving the mouse peritoneum. Irradiated tumor cells administered by i.p. injection provided effective vaccination against peritoneal carcinomatosis and distal metastasis with colorectal carcinomas. In flow cytometric analysis, CD4 and CD8+ T lymphocytes, macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which are e...
