Primary Gastric Conduit Cancer 10 Years after Esophagectomy for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma: SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers







Primary gastric conduit cancer (GCC) is a known but rare occurrence post-esophagectomy with gastric reconstruction of the esophagus. As improvements in post-esophagectomy treatment and surveillance have increased patient survival, GCC is becoming more common, with a reported incidence of 0.2-3.5%. We present the case of a 76-year-old man with metachronous adenocarcinoma of the gastric conduit antrum 10 years after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma. He was treated by a total gastrectomy with colonic interposition for esophageal reconstruction.

Process for Preparation of Vitamin C and Method for Determination of Vitamin C in Tablets: SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers







Procedure for calcium ascorbate (VITAMIN-C) includes such technological steps as reaction of ascorbic acid on calcium carbonate in water. In recent years, the determination of vitamin C has become an important subject in the field of biochemistry and commercial foods. This is because vitamin C plays an important role in maintaining human health. Due to the importance of vitamin C in human beings, the quantitative analysis of vitamin C has gained a significant increase in several areas of analytical chemistry such as pharmaceutical and food applications. There are numerous methods for the determination of vitamin C in a variety of natural samples, biological fluids and pharmaceutical formulations. The prepartaion method and methods for the determination of vitamin C are spectrophotometric methods and non-spectrophotometric methods (Arya and Mahajan, 1997). For non-spectrophotometric methods are such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), titration, enzymatic method and fluorometry (Arya, Mahajan and Jain, 2000). Direct spectrophotometry also has been applied to determine the vitamin C content in soft drinks, fruit juices, and cordials after correction for background absorption in the UV region.

Sternal Cleft: Appropriate Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment: SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers






Sternal cleft (SC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the chest wall, isolated or combined with other malformations. We try to provide an appropriate stepwise approach for the diagnosis and treatment of SC. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis can be obtained after the 18th week of gestation. At birth, diagnosis is based on the findings of clinical examination, chest x-ray, computed tomography and additional investigations for the associated anomalies. Primary approximation of the sternal bars is preferred before the age of 3 months. For older cases and rigid chest wall, the surgical correction can be achieved using prosthetic materials, autologous grafts, or biologic implants. The surgical decision depends on the age of patient, rigidity of the chest wall, and presence of other abnormalities in the chest wall.

Intestinal Obstruction by Blind Vove Iess Riobamba Hospital 2014: SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers



Introduction: Cecal volvulus is the second most common volvulus among colonic volvulus, usually presenting as bowel obstruction.
Case Presentation: A 65 year old female presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and abscense of flatus and stool

Erect Abdominal radiograph showed marked colonic distension with air-fluid levels. Urgent surgical treatment is decided.
Conclusion: Cecal volvulus should always be considered as a possible cause of mechanical ileus. Radiographs and CT are invaluable in the diagnosis of this condition.


Mipo - A Biological Method for Fixation of Complex Fractures of Tibia: SCSOAJ - Lupine Publishers


Management of proximal and distal tibial fractures is challenging because of the complexity of injury, limited muscle coverage and poor vacularity. Surgical management of tibial fractures includes multiple options: external fixation, IM nailing, ORIF and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate may end in wide dissection and tissue devascularization. Fixation of tibial fractures with MIPO allows protection of soft tissue and blood supply. This is a report of a series of prospectively studied closed proximal and distal tibial fractures treated with MIPO.

The History of Opcab (Off Pump) Coronary Surgery: (SCSOAJ) - Lupine Publishers

The History of Opcab (Off Pump) Coronary Surgery by Federico Benetti and Natalia Scialacomo in Surgery & Case Studies: Open Access Journal (SCSOAJ) in Lupine Publishers

After the advent of the heart-lung machine, few surgeons continued to use the OPCAB technique, Among those were Benetti and Buffolo from South America, who published in the early 1990s the first two large series on OPCAB surgery [1-3]. Several surgical approaches were tested, such as full sternotomy, no spreading sternotomy including left, anterolateral, Posterolateral and right anterolateral thoracotomies, as well as partial sternotomy [3]. The video-assisted techniques in the nineties allowed us, for the first time, to dissect the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) without opening the pleura cavity. The LITA was anastomosed to the left anterior descending (LAD) through a small left anterior thoracotomy and the MIDCAB operation was create [4-6].

Surgical Management of Multiple Nevus Lipomatosis Superficialis: A Case Report: (SCSOAJ) - Lupine Publishers

Surgical Management of Multiple Nevus Lipomatosis Superficialis: A Case Report by Ameen Barghi in Surgery & Case Studies: Open Access Journal (SCSOAJ) in Lupine Publishers

Nevus lipomatosis superficialis is a rare skin lesion characterized by the ectopic dermal deposition of adipose tissue. While benign, it typically presents in the second to third decade of life as regional discomfort. We present the case of multiple lesions requiring serial surgical management.
Presentation of Case: The patient was a 22-year-old male who presented with multiple, soft, warty lesions histologically consistent with nevus lipomatosis superficialis. He underwent excision of the largest mass and is undergoing multiple excisions for adjacent masses.
Discussion: Nevus lipomatosis superficialis is a rare connective tissue hamartoma of unclear etiology and multiple clinical subtypes. While management is typically surgical, efficacy of treatment options for multiple nearby lesions is not well characterized.
Conclusion: We review the literature for nevus lipomatosis superficialis and describe a case with multiple lesions of varying chronicity. Treatment must be chosen to optimize wound healing and cosmetic outcomes.

Surgery & Case Studies: Open Access Journal (SCSOAJ) - Lupine Publishers

Surgery & Case Studies: Open Access Journal (SCSOAJ) is a peer-reviewed, international, broad scope open-access journal which publishes case reports that are not restricted to diagnosis, diseases, outcomes, signs, symptoms, treatment and new findings of researches. The journal is entrenched to create a platform for health care professionals, researchers, practitioners of all over the globe to publish the substantial and complete research and significant information about novel findings of diseases or syndromes. Currently case studies drag the concentration of the investigators since each case present provides deep understanding in diagnosis and treatment methods. It is devoted to publishing case series and case reports. Articles must be genuine, moral and curious to an international audience of researchers, surgeons and trainees in all surgical specialties, as well as clinicians in allied fields.
