Brachial artery injury
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Milik, Krzysztof; Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David
Introduction. Arterial damage associated with musculoskeletal injuries at room conditions is very common. Aim. It is worth remembering that examining a patient who has suffered an accident with a broken bone or traumatic joint dislocation may be accompanied by vascular damage. A dislocation or fracture often masks damage to the artery. Description of the case. In this paper, a 20-year-old patient being a passenger suffered upper right limb trauma in a car accident. Conclusion. The effects of vascular injuries appear only after a few hours after setting the fracture. It is not known then whether the artery was damaged at the same time with the fracture, whether the injury occurred during the adjustment, or whether the ischemia is finally the result of the pressure exerted by too tight plaster casts.
Crohn’s disease – a case study
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał
Introduction. Surgical treatment of patients with Crohn’s disease can be a big challenge, due to the high risk of complications that is associated with chronic inflammatory process, immunosuppressive, biological treatment, malnutrition, patient’s wasting or prone to recurrence of inflammatory changes. Aim. The aim of this work ist o present the case of patient underwent surgery, resection of the terminal ileum, right hemicolectomy and segmental jejunum resection. Description of the case. In this case patients with Crohn’s disease were accompanied by progressive nutritional deficiencies and cachexia. Conclusion. Crohn’s disease can lead to very severe abdominal and septic complications that require long-term treatment, repeated surgery, and open belly therapy with the use of vacuum therapy.
Crohn’s disease complicated with a bladder-fistula – a case report
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał
Introduction. Entero-bladder fistula (fistula entero-vesicalis) is a pathological connection between the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder. Entero-bladder fistulas are not a common condition. The main reason for the formation of entero- bladder fistulas are intestinal diseases occurring within the intestinal loop adjacent to the bladder resulting in the formation of an abnormal channel, the connection between the above structures Aim. The aim is to present the causes of the fistulas can be divided into congenital and acquired (intestinal infection, cancer, Crohn’s disease, resulting from trauma and iatrogenic). Clinical manifestations of the biliary-bullous fistulae may be from the digestive or urinary tract. The most characteristic ailments are pneumaturia, fecuria, urge to urinate, frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, hematuria, urinary tract infection. Description of the case. The article discusses the case of a patient with Leśniowski-Crohn disease complicated with a bladder- fistula. The treatment of entero-bladder fistulas is primarily surgical, it consists in resection of the fistula together with resection of the affected intestine and bladder wall fragment. Conclusion. The test confirming the presence of an entero-bladder fistula is a test with oral administration of poppies, although it happens that the test result may be negative, especially in the case of a bladder-follicular fistula. Among the tests useful in the diagnosis of entero-bladder fistula include abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopic tests (colonoscopy or cystoscopy).
Inflammatory bowel disease: clinical aspects
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease is a complex disease which arises as a result of an interaction between environmental and genetic factors leading to immunological responses and inflammation in the intestine. Aim. To review medical approaches used in inflammatory bowel disorders. Materials and methods. An analysis of literature regarding inflammatory bowel diseases, Leśniowski-Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and mataloproteinases. Results. Current evidence suggests that patients with inflammatory bowel disease may have an elevated risk of endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades, great advances have been made in our understanding of the interplay between the inflammatory bowel disease. Conclusions. Inflammatory bowel diseases are increasing in Europe. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by biopsies on colonoscopy.
Inflammatory bowel disease: the function of metalloproteinases
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine. Aim. The aim of this work was to review the current literature regarding matrix metalloproteinases. The databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Springer were utilized to search the literature for relevant articles. Materials and methods. An analysis of literature. We collected information, data, and examples of the function of metalloproteinases. Results. Herein we show that metalloproteinases play a role in such processes as the immune response, angiogenesis, the epithelial barrier function, fibrosis induced by the inflammatory process, and in the process of carcinogenesis. Conclusions. Further studies on the role of metalloproteinases in the process of carcinogenesis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases are required.
Infliximab MRI relaxation time in solution
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Bober, Zuzanna; Bar, Piotr; Pasternak, Grzegorz; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Filip, Rafał; Aebisher, David
Introduction. The use of Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging to drug monitoring in vitro or in vivo can provides a powerful means to map the effects of drugs on tissue activity. Aim. The purpose of this study was to measure relaxation time of antibody phantom. For this purpose, infliximab sample was used. Material and methods. The selected methods to detect relaxation time of antibody was Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique. We detected spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time and discuss differences where compare to water. Results. The measurements of spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time showed significant differences. The results obtained in phantom indicate that we can use this result for measurements of relaxation time in vitro. Conclusion. Infliximab is approved for severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis, together with methotrexate, for pronounced psoriasis and psoriasis-arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis as well as for chronic inflammatory bowel disease. We conclude, that Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be used to monitor drug effects.
