Cutting-edge regenerative therapy for Hirschsprung disease and its allied disorders
AbstractHirschsprung disease (HSCR) and its associated disorders (AD-HSCR) often result in severe hypoperistalsis caused by enteric neuropathy, mesenchymopathy, and myopathy. Notably, HSCR involving the small intestine, isolated hypoganglionosis, chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome carry a poor prognosis. Ultimately, small-bowel transplantation (SBTx) is necessary for refractory cases, but it is highly invasive and outcomes are less than optimal, despite advances in surgical techniques and management. Thus, regenerative therapy has come to light as...

Simulation to determine the approach of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients undergoing hemodialysis
ConclusionsCommon iliac artery calcification in patients undergoing hemodialysis restricts the use of the transfemoral approach. Therefore, some patients require alternative approaches. (Source: Surgery Today)
