This article describes a new technique for performing a laparoscopy-assisted right hepatic lobectomy using a hanger wall-lifting procedure. The patient is placed in the left semi-lateral position. A cholecystectomy and hemi-hepatic vascular inflow control are then performed through a midline incision, through which the resected liver can be removed. Next, the right lower chest ...

We evaluated 35 cases of a mechanical approach to abdominal wall lifting, used in office-based gasless laparoscopic sterilization under local anesthesia. Lifting of the abdominal wall, using the camera trocar as an anchoring device and complemented by suprapubic lifting by means of a towel clamp, led to passive ...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare inherited disorder of the connective tissue that is characterized by hyperextensible skin, hypermobile joints and abnormalities of the cardiovascular system. A 15-year-old girl with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome underwent thoracolumbar surgery for deformity correction. After surgery, an abdominal aortic rupture occurred, and ...
"Intra-abdominal hypertension", the presence of elevated intra-abdominal pressure, and "abdominal compartment syndrome", the development of pressure-induced organ-dysfunction and failure, have been increasingly recognized over the past decade as causes of significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill surgical and medical ...
In this paper, a normalized abdominal coordinate system is defined for abdominal atlas mapping in CT and MR volume images. This coordinate system is independent of both the abdomen size and the respiratory motion. A real-time atlas mapping algorithm based on this coordinate system is also ...
The digestive system organs in the abdominal cavity include the liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.

A device that generates negative extra-abdominal pressure (ABDOPRE) for treatment of patients with high intra-abdominal pressure was developed. It includes pressure sensors for transducing intra-abdominal pressure through an intra-vesical catheter and negative pressure in the vacuum bell which is placed over the abdomen. By means of a ...

To investigate the effects of a tissue inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) gene on the extracellular matrix of the abdominal aorta, models of rat abdominal aortic aneurysm were utilized and a solution of AdTIMP-2 was perfused into the abdominal aorta. The models of rat abdominal aortic aneurysm ...

In Drosophila, the gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family contains 60 family members that encode 68 proteins through alternative splicing. Some gustatory receptors (Grs) are involved in the sensing of sugars, bitter substrates, CO(2), pheromones, and light. Here, we systematically examined the expression of all 68 Grs in abdominal neurons which project to the ...
