Tray and packed columns are both commonly used for distillation, absorption, and stripping separation operations.1,2 The goal of this experiment is to distill a mixture of alcohols (methanol, isopropanol) and water in a sieve tray column and examine how closely simple theories of distillation based on equilibrium assumptions are followed. Sieve trays provide maximum...

Assembly of a Reflux System for Heated Chemical Reactions

Source: Laboratory of Dr. Philip Miller — Imperial College London
Many chemical experiments require elevated temperatures before any reaction is observed, however heating solutions of reactants can lead to loss of reactants and/or solvent via evaporation if their boiling points are sufficiently low. In order to ensure no loss of reactants or solvent, a reflux system is used in order to condense any vapors produced on heating and return these condensates to the reaction...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

506
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease I: Meaning and Pathophysiology

1.3K
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) involves the recurrent backflow of the stomach or duodenal contents into the esophagus, leading to troublesome symptoms and potential esophageal mucosal damage. Although GERD is often referred to as a disease, it is more accurately described as a syndrome, as it encompasses a range of symptoms and complications rather than a singular pathological entity, impacting a large number of individuals as the most prevalent upper gastrointestinal problem. Roughly...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Excessive flatulence is common after laparoscopic fundoplication surgery, affecting 85% of patients long-term. However, this side effect rarely impacts social life or overall quality of life significantly.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient Quality of Life

Background:

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication is a common anti-reflux surgery.
  • Flatulence is a known, yet poorly quantified, side effect.
  • The impact of post-operative flatulence on patient quality of life is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the long-term incidence of flatulence following laparoscopic fundoplication.
  • To assess the effect of long-term flatulence on patients' quality of life.
  • To analyze outcomes based on patient sex and fundoplication type.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective database identification of 462 patients undergoing primary laparoscopic fundoplication (1999-2009).
  • Cross-sectional analysis using a symptom-specific questionnaire for gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life.
  • Statistical analysis stratified by sex and fundoplication type (360° vs. partial).

Main Results:

  • Follow-up was obtained in 265 patients (57%) at a median of 11 years post-surgery.
  • Excessive flatulence was reported by 85% of patients.
  • Only 12% reported an adverse impact on social life and 11% on quality of life, regardless of sex or wrap type.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of patients experience significant flatulence long-term after anti-reflux surgery.
  • Despite high incidence, flatulence has minimal impact on social life and quality of life.
  • Patient education on inevitable side effects is crucial for managing expectations post-fundoplication.
