Neural network prediction of severe lower intestinal bleeding and the need for surgical intervention.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The prognosis for patients with severe acute lower intestinal bleeding (ALIB) may be assessed by complex artificial neural networks (ANNs) or user-friendly regression-based models. Comparisons between these modalities are limited, and pre...

Impact of chromogranin A, differentiation, and mitoses in nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors ≤ 2 cm.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a unique subset of pancreatic neoplasms. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels, mitotic rate, and histologic differentiation are often used to characterize PNET behavior. This study evaluates the i...

Ileostomy creation in colorectal cancer surgery: risk of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Ileostomy creation is associated with postoperative dehydration and readmission; however, the effect on renal function is unknown. Our goal was to characterize the impact of ileostomy creation on acute and chronic renal function.

Emergent laparotomy and temporary abdominal closure for the cirrhotic patient.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Temporary abdominal closure (TAC) may be performed for cirrhotic patients undergoing emergent laparotomy. The effects of cirrhosis on physiologic parameters, resuscitation requirements, and outcomes following TAC are unknown. We hypothesi...

Computerized tomography-based anatomic description of the porcine liver.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The knowledge of the anatomic features is imperative for successful modeling of the different surgical situations. This study aims to describe the anatomic features of the porcine using computerized tomography (CT) scan.

Detection of clinically important colorectal surgical site infection using Bayesian network.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive efforts to monitor and prevent surgical site infections (SSIs), real-time surveillance of clinical practice has been sparse and expensive or nonexistent. However, natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (i...

Heat shock protein A12B protects against sepsis-induced impairment in vascular endothelial permeability.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: As a common and life-threatening infectious syndrome, sepsis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. Vascular endothelial injury and hyperpermeability play an important role in the development of sepsis-...

Anterior approach for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (with video).

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the significance of the anterior approach without the Pringle maneuver during right hepatectomies with caudate lobectomies for perihilar cholangiocarcinomas (PHCs).

Danhong huayu koufuye prevents deep vein thrombosis through anti-inflammation in rats.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Danhong huayu koufuye (DHK) has traditionally been used clinically for a long time in China. This study was to evaluate the effect of DHK in treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in rats and explore its possible mechanism.
