Material and methods: It was a prospective study conducted between January 2016 and December 2019 in the Department of Paediatric Surgery. Twenty-nine male patients aged 0–8 years were included in the study. Ultrasound evaluation of both testicles, comparing the volume before and after inguinal hernia repair, was performed. Results and conclusions: The ultrasound measurements of the testicular volume after the surgical procedure showed no inhibition of growth with the preoperative sonographic examination and concerning the testis of the opposite, non-operated side. The increase in the median of the volume of both testis’ was observed in cases before and after the elective surgeries, although there was no statistically significant difference. Emergency operation due to the incarcerated hernia on either side did not statistically significantly affect testicular volume in the tested group of patients. None of the laparoscopically operated patients showed atrophy of the testis. Laparoscopic surgery using the PIRS method in the case of inguinal hernia does not result in testicular atrophy or a decrease of the volume of the testis on the operated side.","PeriodicalId":81014,"journal":{"name":"Contributions in medical studies","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76521936","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}

This is especially important given organ preservation in cases with cartilage involvement. Aim of the research: To assess the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV)) of computed tomography (CT) in detecting cartilage involvement. A second aim was to determine whether the time from the CT scan to surgery influences CT reliability. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from 233 patients who underwent total laryngectomy from 2007 to 2018 at our institution. We compared the CT findings to the histopathological results to determine the CT reliability in terms of identifying the presence of cartilage invasion and in staging. Results: In the full cohort, CT performance was as follows: sensitivity, 68.8%; specificity, 60.3%; PPV, 65.6%; and NPV, 63.8%. In the subgroup of patients ( n = 68) who underwent surgery 14 days or fewer after the CT scan, the corresponding values were as follows: sensitivity, 82.1%; specificity, 57.5%; PPV, 57.5%; and NPV, 82.1%. CT staging was accurate in 53.2% of cases; postoperative histopathologic evaluation led to upstaging in 73 (31.3%) cases and downstaging in 34 (14.6%). Conclusions: The novel findings of this study show that CT imaging is most accurate when performed no more than 14 days prior to surgery, suggesting that surgery should be performed ≤ 14 days after imaging to maintain the best accuracy of CT. Given the limited reliability of CT in detecting cartilage invasion, complementary imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and/or ultrasound should be performed in ambiguous cases","PeriodicalId":81014,"journal":{"name":"Contributions in medical studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90535979","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}

Precise and routine method of measurement enables comparison of the scores obtained over time and possible early intervention in order to avoid complications.The aim of the work is to present the pattern for monitoring changes in the shape of the spine in children with postural deformities.MethodsThe study group (n = 211) consisted of the patients with diagnosed shape of the spine deformity, who underwent a four-month therapy, supervised by a physiotherapist. The control group (n = 101) were the children with no shape of spine deformity.The children in the study group underwent a three-dimensional computer analysis of the shape of the spine. The DIERS test was performed in both groups (study and control). In the study group it was performed four times. It involved the measurement of seven parameters enabling a complete assessment of body posture.ResultsStatistically significant scores of the Friedman test for imbalance, pelvic tilt, kyphosis angle, lordosis angle, and lateral deviation were observed. Therefore, a series of post-hoc analyzes were performed using Dunn-Bonferroni tests. It was observed that changes in individual parameters analyzed in the authors' study come up at a different pace.ConclusionsDetailed monitoring of the parameters describing the position of the spine makes it possible to control the course of the treatment process of patients with disorders of the position of the spine. The dynamics of changes taking place within the spine position varies for the individual parameters analyzed.","PeriodicalId":81014,"journal":{"name":"Contributions in medical studies","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72957290","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}
