The umbilical fold approach to pyloromyotomy: is it a safe alternative to the right upper-quadrant approach?
The UMB approach to pyloromyotomy was cosmetically superior but increased complication rates. Technical complications were easily corrected and length of stay was not affected. Wound infections were decreased in both groups by the use of prophylactic antibiotics.
GT attenuated cardiac remodeling after MI, associated with improvement in systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Oxidative stress, energy metabolism, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix alterations are all potential mechanisms by which GT may take part.
