Functional Groups

89.7K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

2.7K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.

Mechanical Protein Functions01:58

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.7K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

30.1K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Hyperbolic Functions01:25

Hyperbolic Functions

A flexible cable suspended between two points at the same height naturally forms a curve known as a catenary. This shape results from the balance between the cable’s weight and the tension acting along its length, representing a state of mechanical equilibrium. Unlike simpler approximations, the true shape of a hanging cable is described using hyperbolic functions.Hyperbolic functions are closely related to exponential functions and are named for their connection to the geometry of the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Palliative gastro-enterostomy can fail due to local propulsive failure, not mechanical obstruction. Techniques to reduce stasis and sympathetic blocking drugs may improve outcomes in such cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Palliative gastro-enterostomy is a surgical procedure to bypass or create an anastomosis between the stomach and small intestine.
  • Adequate drainage is crucial for the success of gastro-enterostomy in relieving obstructions.
  • Failure of gastro-enterostomy can lead to persistent symptoms and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report cases where palliative gastro-enterostomy failed to provide adequate drainage despite the absence of mechanical obstruction.
  • To investigate the underlying cause of failure in these specific cases.
  • To propose potential solutions for improving gastro-enterostomy outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting on three patients who underwent palliative gastro-enterostomy.
  • Reoperation to investigate the cause of inadequate drainage.
  • Clinical observation and analysis of anastomotic function.

Main Results:

  • In three reported cases, reoperation revealed no mechanical obstruction as the cause of inadequate drainage.
  • Local propulsive failure at the anastomotic site was identified as the likely reason for poor drainage.
  • The study suggests a technique to minimize stasis at the anastomosis.

Conclusions:

  • Local propulsive failure can be a significant cause of gastro-enterostomy failure, independent of mechanical obstruction.
  • Surgical techniques to reduce anastomotic stasis may be beneficial.
  • Pharmacological intervention with sympathetic blocking drugs is proposed for managing established cases of functional failure.
