1. 1. Appendicitis : Epidemiology and diagnosis

   Författare :Roland Andersson; Lars Holmberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :appendicitis; epidemiology; etiology; diagnosis; natural history; appendectomy; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The study concerns appendicitis, its epidemiology and diagnosis, and the outcome of appendectomy. A population based cohort of 9,274 patients undergoing appendectomy in 1969 to 1990 in Jönköping County was retrospectively studied, and 502 patients admitted for suspected appendicitis to the hospitals in Jönköping and Eksjö between October 1992 and December 1993 were prospectively studied.

3. 2. Antibiotic therapy as single treatment of acute appendicitis

   Författare :Jeanette Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; appendicitis; antibiotic therapy; appendectomy; procalcitonin;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Appendectomy has been the established treatment of acute appendicitis during the last century, regarded as a simple and safe procedure, although hampered with postoperative complications and increased standard mortality. Modern research has indicated that selected patients with acute appendicitis can be treated by antibiotic therapy alone. LÄS MER

4. 3. Small bowel obstruction and toxicity of a new model of adhesion prevention

   Författare :Karolin Isaksson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small bowel obstruction; predictive parameters; appendectomy; open versus laparoscopic; abdominal adhesions; prevention; polypeptides; toxicity; biodistribution;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common surgical diagnosis. If no signs of strangulation are evident, the majority of the patients can be conservatively managed. Approximately one third of the patients need surgical treatment and there is a need for early parameters that can predict operative intervention. LÄS MER

5. 4. Radiologic diagnosis of appendicitis in children

   Författare :Sylvie Kaiser; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Appendicitis; appendix; ultrasonography; computed tomography; appendectomy; perforation; diagnostic accuracy; decision analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Suspected appendicitis is the most common cause of emergency abdominal surgery in children. Because of the often atypical clinical findings, the diagnosis of appendicitis is difficult and may be delayed. Perforation has been reported to occur in 23-73% of children with acute appendicitis.

7. 5. The impact of tobacco use on postoperative complications

   Författare :David Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Smoking; snus; obesity; postoperative complication; appendectomy; hernia; smoking cessation; cohort studies; randomised controlled trials.;

   Sammanfattning : In almost every field of surgery, there have been several reports of an increased frequency of wound healing complications among smokers. There is also evidence of a dramatic drop in the complication rate if a smoking cessation intervention is started 6 8 weeks ahead of orthopaedic surgery. LÄS MER
