Article Abstract

Purpose: Incisional hernia at the extraction site (ESIH) is a common complication after laparoscopic colorectal resections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and potential risk factors for ESIH in a large cohort study having standardized technique.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed including all patients who underwent elective laparoscopic right or extended right colectomy for cancer from November 2006 to October 2013 using a standard technique. All patients have been followed up for a minimum of 1 year with abdominal CT scan.

Results: A total of 292 patients were included with a median follow-up of 42 months. Twenty patients (6.8 %) developed ESIH. Obesity (odds ratio (OR) = 3.76, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.39-10.15; p = 0.009) and incision length (OR 2.86, 95 % CI 1.077-7.60; p = 0.035) significantly predisposed to the development of ESIH.

Conclusion: This study identified that the risk of ESIH is significant after colonic resections and there are several risk factors responsible for the development of ESIH.

Background: Migraine care is often suboptimal owing to undertreatment, variation in clinical outcomes and administration methods among existing treatments, and between- and within-individual heterogeneity in the clinical course of migraine. In response to these challenges, preference studies have been increasingly conducted to inform treatment decision-making and development. However, gaps remain in understanding how treatment preferences have been assessed across different migraine studies.

The mechanism underlying the effects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on missed abortion (MA) remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between PAHs exposure, telomere length (TL), metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism, and MA in a case-control study with 253 pregnant women. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify PAH-DNA adducts.

Background: The existing research data cannot fully prove the advantages of single-site Da Vinci robotic surgery (RSS) compared with single-site laparoscopic surgery (LESS) in the treatment of gynecological diseases.

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness and cost of RSS and LESS in the treatment of gynecological diseases. To provide a theoretical basis for RSS to replace LESS in the treatment of gynecological diseases.

Background: An increasing amount of data has been acquired on the close relationship between Vitamin K intake and the progression of periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to estimate whether Vitamin K intake is associated with periodontitis among older adults in America using information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of data on periodontal indices and vitamin K intake among American adults aged 60 years and older in the 2009-2014 NHANES database was extracted.
