Abstract Porous collagen/chitosan scaffolds with different Collagen:Chitosan (Coll:Ch) ratios were prepared by freeze-drying followed by self-crosslinking via dehydrothermal treatment (DHT) and characterized as biomaterials for tissue engineering. Cy7 and Cy5.5 fluorochromes were covalently grafted to collagen and chitosan, respectively. Thus,...

Abstract The postoperative endoscopic recurrence score, commonly referred to as the Rutgeerts score, was designed to predict clinical recurrence risk in Crohn's disease (CD) patients undergoing ileocolonic resection based on early endoscopic findings at the anastomosis and in the neoterminal...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Some evidence suggests that primary anastomosis following left sided colorectal resection in the emergency setting may be safe in selected patients, and confer favourable outcomes to permanent enterostomy. The aim of this study was to compare the major...
