Management of Extramedullary Hematopoiesis: Why is a Hematologist’s Opinion Important_Crimson Publishers

 Management of Extramedullary Hematopoiesis: Why is a Hematologist’s Opinion Important by  Ankita Sen in  Surgical Medicine Open Access Journal Extramedullary Hematopoiesis (EMH) is a compensatory mechanism in response to ineffective hematopoiesis or stress erythropoiesis, in sites other than the bone marrow. The EMH often presents as pseudotumors and may be confused with other benign or malignant tumors. The cause of EMH often is an underlying hematopoietic disorder, and it may be adequately treated by treating the underlying cause. This will avoid unnecessary surgical interventions. Hence, knowledge of this entity is of utmost importance, and careful history, clinical examination and necessary investigations must be carried out before deciding the course of therapy. https://crimsonpublishers.com/smoaj/fulltext/SMOAJ.000582.php For more Open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/crimsonpublishers   For more Articles on Surgical Me

Laparoscopic Treatment of Celiac Axis Compression Syndrome-Dunbar Syndrome_Crimson Publishers

Laparoscopic Treatment of Celiac Axis Compression Syndrome-Dunbar Syndrome by  Vladimir  S in  Surgical Medicine Open Access Journal Dunbar syndrome or celiac artery compression syndrome was described for the first time by Harjola in 1963. It’s an infrequent clinical condition, with few criteria for diagnosis and with obscure pathophysiology. It is usually associated with an extrinsic compression upon the celiac axis near its takeoff from the aorta by fibrous diaphragmatic bands or sympathetic neural fibers. This syndrome is as uncommon cause for upper abdominal angina. The classic sympthoms include vomiting associated to pos prandial pain, weight loss and soufle in the epigastric region. Diagnosis is made by abdominal angiotomography, arteriography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical ligament release is indicated in case of severe compression of the celiac trunk or in patient’s refractory to clinical treatment [1]. https://crimsonpublishers.com/smoaj/fulltext/SMOAJ.000581.php For

Parity-A Call for the Worldwide Condemnation and Criminalization of Infant Male Genital Mutilation [Circumcision]_Crimson Publishers

Parity-A Call for the Worldwide Condemnation and Criminalization of Infant Male Genital Mutilation [Circumcision] by  Mister SA in  Surgical Medicine Open Access Journal Female genital mutilation has been condemned far more than male genital mutilation. There seems to be a conspiracy in the scientific community to ignore the benefits of the intact prepuce (foreskin) and to deny the horrors of male genital mutilation. Science and human rights must always trump and triumph over superstition. The prepuce is on the penis for a purpose. The foreskin/prepuce is not something to be jettisoned like the umbilical cord. When the umbilical cord is severed neither baby nor mother feel any pain. Why? Because there are no nerves in the umbilical cord. Ditto when fingernails or hair is cut. Is this the case when an infant male is mutilated/circumcised? Not at all. Male circumcision in both infant and adult males produces pain lasting from hours to days. This is because the foreskin/ prepuce is innerv
