It was observed that serum lactate levels were similar in terms of gender, presence of multiple organ dysfunction\u0000syndrome (MODS) and type of treatment. Baseline lactate levels were similar.

The disease appendicitis is one of the commonest causes\u0000of acute abdomen. It is also the commonest reason of the emergency surgery that can lead to signicant morbidity and mortality. Usually when\u0000(1) appendectomy is done early, it relieves all the symptoms. The misdiagnosis related to the disease often leads to removal of uninamed appendix.\u0000The précised aetiology of appendicitis is uncertain, although the most common hypothesis is the obstruction of appendiceal lumen with secondary\u0000infection. The luminal and intraluminal pressure and due to the constant pressure, the thrombosis of appendicular vasculature and venous\u0000obstruction occurs resulting in ischemia. The bacteria enter the damaged mucosa and the pus forms inside the appendix eventually causing the\u0000(2) infarction and perforation. Aim: We aimed at determining the spectrum, histopathology and prevalence of lesions in appendix in our tertiary care\u0000hospital. Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the department of pathology in tertiary care hospital, Mumbai over a\u0000period of 18 months. 300 specimens of appendicular lesions received during the study period. The specimens were xed in 10% formalin and\u0000stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin stain. The lesions were classied based on their histomorphological ndings. Results: This study included\u0000total of 300 specimens of resected appendix. In the present study, the total sample number received during study period was 7840, Out of which\u0000total number of appendicectomy specimens were 300 (3.82%). present study, the age group from the paediatric to geriatric age group were\u0000considered. Majority of patients 99(33%) belong to 21-30 years age group. During the study period, a total number of 300 patients had\u0000appendectomy out of which, the number of males was higher than females, with 60% of the cases being male, 40 % being female. In the present\u0000study, the non-neoplastic lesions were found in majority. Out of 300 cases, he non- neoplastic lesions accounted for 295 cases (98.4%) and\u0000neoplastic lesions contributes 5 cases (1.66%). Conclusions: According to the current study, men are slightly more likely than women to develop\u0000appendicitis with predominancy in second and third decades of life. In all cases of acute appendicitis, a histopathological examination of the\u0000appendix should be done since it provides crucial clinical information in addition to the operational results. The importance of histological\u0000investigation of every resected appendix is demonstrated by uncommon discoveries such as low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasia and\u0000adenocarcinoma in clinically suspected acute appendicitis, the presence of which alters the subsequent therapy. Thus, we draw the conclusion that\u0000the histological analysis is still the best method for identifying appendiceal lesions.","PeriodicalId":14358,"journal":{"name":"International journal of scientific research","volume":"24 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141037515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
