A closed-loop obstruction is a surgical emergency as if not corrected, the bowel will continue to distend within a closed segment of bowel, stretching the bowel wall until it becomes ischaemic and this can further lead to perforation. Aetiology The most common causes of bowel obstruction depend ...
The U.S. elderly experience shorter lifespans and greater variability in age at death than their Canadian peers. In order to gain insight on the underlying factors responsible for the Canada-U.S. old-age mortality disparities, we propose a cause-of-death analysis. Accordingly, the objective of...

levels of plasma TG and reduced incidence of ischaemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Amish population5. Subsequently, genome-wide association studies also identified the Arg19Stop variant in other population isolates with a strong atheroprotective phenotype6. More importantly, a recent general ...
In reproductive age females, the normal ovary shows homogenous soft-tissue T1-weighted signal intensity and is often barely perceptible from adjacent bowel. On the other hand, on T2-weighted images, ovaries are almost always identifiable on the basis of characteristic zonal anatomy including a low ...
Heterozygosity for the rare null allele of APOC3, R19X, has been associated with high levels of plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), low levels of plasma TG and reduced incidence of ischaemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Amish population5. Subsequently, genome-wide association studies also ...
