Abstract:
<p>The aim of this study was to determine how effective a chewing gum regime is in treating the common minor complaints of third molar surgery. The efficacy of a six-day chewing gum regimen in reducing pain, swelling and trismus after third molar surgery was compared to no chewing gum therapy. Third molar surgery is an important part of any maxillofacial surgery practice. There is an ongoing quest to find new and innovative methods to treat the minor complaints of this procedure.</p>

Background:  Peri-operative myocardial infarction (PMI) may be under- and/or mis-diagnosed because WHO criteria are often not met and creatinine kinase (CK/CK-MB) ratios can be difficult to interpret.  Cardiac troponin (cTn) I is the most sensitive and specific marker of myocardial cell necrosis but is not yet widely available. Aims: 1.  To examine the use of pre-operative risk indices, including ASA score, POSSUM score and Goldman’s cardiac risk index and compare these with peri-operative cTnI rise. 2.  To compare cTnI levels with CK/CK-MB levels peri-operatively in the diagnosis of MI. 3.  T

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are large in size and often involve adjacent organs or vital structures. Completeness of resection is critical for long-term survival. However, this often involves extensive operations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of early postoperative complications after RPS surgery and identify their predictors. Return to the operating room (OR) and all-cause mortality within 30 days were also examined.

Introduction Liver resection offers curative treatment to a number of malignant conditions. It has traditionally been associated with poor post-operative outcomes. More recently a mortality rate of less than five per cent has become established but morbidity remains high. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has become established practice in a number of surgical specialties and has shown improvement in post-operative outcomes. ERAS has been introduced for liver resection however practice is less well established and liver surgery has several complexities that need to be accommodated in orde

Abstract:
Brain injury continues to be one of the most feared complications following cardiac procedures. While clinically overt cerebrovascular accidents are extremely well characterised and relatively rare under optimised conditions, at the other end of the spectrum, subclinical brain injury – which consists of post-operative cognitive dysfunction and silent brain infarcts (SBIs) – is poorly defined but of greater incidence. The lack of knowledge of subclinical brain injury is in large part due to lack of an objective means of measurement, meaning it is quantified using variable definitions and genera

In addition, hospital length of stay is often prolonged due to the need to control this arrhythmia prior to discharge.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in surgical patients and because of this a number of strategies have been utilised to attempt to predict the cardiac risk of surgery. Theoretically, accurate pre-operative risk stratification would allow patients at low risk to have their surgery expedited efficiently, whilst those at higher risk could have a change made to their treatment plan such as peri-operative cardiac optimisation or in some cases, modification of the operative procedure.
