rhizoctonia-like fungi were isolated from the infected roots of miniature rose (rosa hybrida cv. linda) plant with chlorosis and necrosis symptoms, grown in commercial glasshouse in rafsanjan, iran, during the autumn of 2011. all of the isolates were identified as binucleate rhizoctonia sp. on the basis of hyphal characteristics and nuclei number. they were tested for detection of the anastomos...

The single ventricle cardiac pathologies are commonly treated with total cavopulmonary anastomosis in the current era. The modality is usually performed in two stages and the bidirectional superior vena cava-pulmonary artery shunt constitutes the first stage; after a certain period, the inferior vena cava is connected to the anastomosis. However, especially in relatively older patients, single ...

In gastrointestinal surgery, the quality of the anastomosis is one of the most important factors influencing the nature of the postoperative course. Anastomotic leak may require reoperation and in severe cases can be life threatening. Changing device technology has increased the variety of anastomotic techniques, and the increase in laparoscopic surgery has increased the frequency of the side-t...

Examination of a biliodigestive anastomosis presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Visualization of biliodigestive anastomosis and endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with intervention is possible with a double balloon enteroscope.

BACKGROUND Adult large bowel obstruction is an infrequent cause of acute obstruction in Africa and India. The cause of obstruction varies between regions of the world. Current controversy concerns the surgical management of the acutely obstructed left colon. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of adult patients with acute large bowel obstruction over a 6-year period. The diagnos...

Background: Intestinal atresia is a life-threatening problem requiring early active intervention. The aim of the study was to compare management outcomes between Duodenal-Atresia (DA) and Jejunoileal-Atresias (JIA). The secondary objective was to analyse tapering enteroplasty versus end-to-end anastomosis in JIA. Materials and Methods: Retrospective descriptive analysis of patients operated be...

BACKGROUND The complexity of laparoscopic surgery makes specific training out of the operating rooms necessary to shorten learning curves and to minimise morbidity rates. Our aim was to analyse the increase in laparoscopic skills after completion of a laboratory training program. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective study of surgical resident training based on anastomosis performance on an "endot...

Compensating crural anastomoses develop in patients with multi-level occlusion of the calf arteries in the course of atherosclerosis, arteriitis, diabetes, and in vascular malformations of the limbs. The peroneal artery is frequently the only patent calf vessel, especially in diabetic patients who have advanced tibial occlusive disease. The purpose of this study was to identify different types ...

BACKGROUND Cervical anastomosis and thoracic anastomosis are used for gastric tube reconstruction after esophagectomy for cancer. This systematic review was conducted in order to identify randomized trials that compare cervical with thoracic anastomosis. METHODS A literature search for randomized trials was performed in the following databases: Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library. RESU...
