This study aimed to isolate and freeze germ cells from the superior brown mealworm. Styrofoam diet changes were observed for 20 days to determine whether mealworms were useful insects for decomposing Styrofoam. The average weight of mealworms before the Styrofoam diet was 500 mg, which decreased to 336 mg at D20 after their diet. To preserve mealworms with excellent Styrofoam-degrading ability, we first isolated the reproductive organs of mealworms, testes, ovaries, sperms, and ovarioles. Morphologically, male and female adult brown mealworms were distinguished according to the presence or absence of a protrusion at the tip of the fifth segment of the abdomen...

INTRODUCTION: The optimal closure of the abdominal wall after emergency midline laparotomy is still a matter of debate due to lack of evidence. Although closure of the fascia using a continuous, all-layer suture technique with slowly absorbable monofilament material is common, complications like burst abdomen and hernia are frequent. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation evaluates the efficacy and safety of a continuous suture with or without additional interrupted retention sutures for closure of the abdominal fascia...

Isolated duodenal transection-a rare complication of abdominal trauma-is a challenging dilemma and difficult to diagnose. As blunt duodenal injuries vary from mild hematoma or perforation to complete transection or complex pancreaticoduodenal disruption. A 21-year-old male medically free victim of motor vehicle collision was admitted to our hospital and evaluated in ER according to ATLS protocol. Patient was stable with positive fast scan so we proceeded for abdomen computed tomography, which showed duodenal injury with possible pancreatic transection and active arterial extravasation...

INTRODUCTION: Acute fascia dehiscence (FD) is a threatening complication occurring in 0.4-3.5% of cases after abdominal surgery. Prolonged hospital stay, increased mortality and increased rate of incisional hernias could be following consequences. Several risk factors are controversially discussed. Even though surgical infection is a known, indisputable risk factor, it is still not proven if a special spectrum of pathogens is responsible. In this study, we investigated if a specific spectrum of microbial pathogens is associated with FD...

PURPOSE: Incisional hernias often follow open abdominal surgery. A small-stitch-small-bite suture might close the incision durably. We analyzed specific details of this closure technique and assessed their influence on the closure stability. METHODS: The effects of cyclic loads, simulating coughs were investigated on a bench test. We prepared porcine bellies in the median line and bovine flanks parallel to the muscle fibers with 15 cm long incisions. Then we punched round or rhomboid defects with a diameter of 5-10 cm into the center of the incision...

BACKGROUND: Major bile duct injuries (BDIs) are hazardous complications during 0.4%-0.6% of laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Major BDIs usually require surgical repair, ideally either immediately or at least six weeks after the damage. The complexity of our case lies in the coexistence of early BDI followed by 2-week biliary peritonitis with massive midline evisceration which, in combination, has over 40% mortality risk. METHODS & CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 65-year-old male, transferred to our tertiary HPB service on day 14 after common bile duct complete transection during cholecystectomy and postoperative laparotomy...

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the largest single cause of infant death in the United States. A cervical length of <2.5 cm, measured in the mid-trimester, has been shown to identify individuals at increased risk. Uterine electromyography is an emerging technology for noninvasively assessing uterine bioelectrical activity. With its ability to characterize nuanced differences in myometrial signals, uterine electromyography assessments during the mid-trimester may provide insight into the mechanisms of cervical shortening...

The urinary bladder is less susceptible to traumatic injury than other abdominal organs, due to its anatomical location behind the pubic bone. As a result, intraperitoneal urinary bladder ruptures are a rare consequence of blunt abdominal trauma and most often occur in the context of high energy and multitraumas. However, a distended bladder is more vulnerable to burst rupture even from a minor trauma, and in case of an isolated bladder injury, presentation can be delayed. We describe a case in which a patient presented 4 days after a minor blunt trauma, with an acute abdomen and pseudorenal failure as the main clinical signs of urinary ascites due to a significant bladder rupture...

PURPOSE: Abdominal wall injuries (AWI) is a clinical and radiological diagnosis of fasciomuscular and at times cutaneous defects after abdominal trauma. Their severity encompasses a spectrum of parietal defects, with the most severe being a burst abdomen with eviscerated organs. With the wide use of CT scans in trauma settings, their incidence is being more recognized. Especially in severe AWI, where associated intrabdominal lesions are highly prevalent, many questions about parietal reconstruction arise concerning the timing and type of surgery, and their final hernia recurrence rate...

BACKGROUND: The opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS) represents a pathophysiology and diagnostic challenge. Although the diverse etiologies likely share a common mechanism to generate ocular, trunk, and limb movements, the underlying cause may be a paraneoplastic syndrome, as the first sign of cancer, or may be a postinfectious complication, and thus, the outcome depends on identifying the trigger mechanism. A recent hypothesis suggests increased GABAA receptor sensitivity in the olivary-oculomotor vermis-fastigial nucleus-premotor saccade burst neuron circuit in the brainstem...

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is characterized by episodic bursts of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, affecting chronic cannabis users. The clinical picture mimics an acute abdomen, usually leading to multiple assessments in the emergency department. Several complementary diagnostic examinations are performed with non-specific results, making differential diagnosis puzzling. We present a case of a 42-year-old man, who has been admitted multiple times to the emergency department in the last 3 months for abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, without triggering factors and improving only with hot water baths...

Spatial and temporal factors are known to highly influence tactile perception, but their role has been largely unexplored in the case of two-dimensional (2D) pattern recognition. We investigated whether recognition is facilitated by the spatial and/or temporal separation of pattern elements, or by conditions known to favor perceptual integration, such as the ones eliciting apparent movement. 2D vibrotactile patterns were presented to the abdomen of novice participants. In Experiment 1, we manipulated the spatial (inter-tactor distance) and temporal (burst duration and inter-burst interval) parameters applied to the tracing mode (sequential activation of pattern elements)...
