Background. Spinal fusion procedures are associated with a significant rate of surgical site infection (SSI) (1%–12%). The goal this study was to identify modifiable risk factors for spinal SSIs at large tertiary care center.
Background Previous studies have reported a reduced tacrolimus dose-adjusted exposure in individuals expressing the CYP3A5*1 allele (rs 776746). However, information regarding Colombian liver transplantation patients is scarce. This study aimed to investigate influence of CYP3A5 polymorphism on (TAC) pharmacokinetics transplant patients. Methods was prospective, single-center, open-label, pharmacogenetic stable adult recipients followed up between 2020 and 2022. To evaluate longitudinal...
Background. Torsion of greater omentum is a quite uncommon cause acute abdomen. It can be primary or secondary but in both cases twists upon itself and causes omental segmentary diffuse necrosis. Symptoms are unspecific preoperative diagnosis difficult. The widespread increasing use computer tomography (CT) differential abdomen useful for making specific diagnosis. Objectives. This work aims to describe torsion order help avoid misdiagnosis, especially with appendicitis, which eventually...
The CIAO Study is a multicenter observational study currently underway in 66 European medical institutions over the course of six-month period (January-June 2012). This preliminary report overviews findings first half study, which includes all data from three months period. Patients with either community-acquired or healthcare-associated complicated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) were included study. 912 patients mean age 54.4 years (range 4–98) enrolled during three-month 47.7% women and...
Bezoars are an uncommon cause of mechanical intestinal occlusion. There four different kinds bezoars: phytobezoars, made vegetables and fibers; trichobezoars, resulting from the ingestion hair frequently expression psychiatric disorders; lactobezoars, which formed milk curd; pharmacobezoars, caused by drugs medications. Symptoms classically indistinguishable one another more common causes occlusion, so it can be difficult to establish a correct diagnosis in order apply treatment. We present...
Biologics have improved the treatment of rheumatic diseases, resulting in better outcomes. However, their high cost limits access for many patients both North America and Latin America. Following patent expiration biologicals, availability biosimilars, which typically are less expensive due to lower development costs, provides additional options with diseases. The biosimilars American countries is evolving, differing regulations clinical indications. objective study was present consensus...
Acute appendicitis remains the most common surgical emergency. Laparoscopy has gained increasing favor as a method of both investigating right iliac fossa pain and treating finding appendicitis. A question arises: what to do with an apparent healthy appendix discovered during laparoscopic surgery for other pathology. We present case unilateral hydroureteronephrosis complicated rupture renal pelvis, due gangrenous abscess iliopsoas muscle periappendicular inflammation in 67-year-old woman,...
Benign multicystic mesothelioma is a rare pathology. Few cases are reported in the medical literature and acute presentation extremely uncommon. We describe an clinical of neoplasm that revealed itself with signs symptoms attributable to appendicitis 41-year-old white man. Abdominal echography computed tomography scans demonstrated presence mass direct contiguity cecal fundus, but diagnosis remained unclear. Our patient underwent surgery complete removal neoplasm. Only definitive...
Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare benign that occurs most frequently in the pleura. It considered soft tissues. We report case of middle-aged woman presented solitary tumor gluteus. The was composed mesenchymal spindle-shaped cells positive for CD34 and bcl-2. Although rare, SFT should be included differential diagnosis tissue tumours. clinical presentation imaging can helpful better pre-operative diagnosis.
Arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare and life-threatening complication of pancreatitis, seen more often in chronic than acute pancreatitis. It involves mostly the splenic artery, while only 10% case it appears pancreaticoduodenal gastric artery. This report described an asymptomatic posterior superior artery right which occurred after 13days from episode pancreatitis and, then was treated with vascular angioembolization.A 71 year-old female admitted to Emergency Surgery Department for severe...
Background: Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for gastric volvulus. Despite its rarity, early experience from recent publications suggests that laparoscopy a safe and effective approach acute Yet, more data focusing on patients' postoperative quality life (QoL) needed. The aim this study to report our institutional with management volvulus, assessing surgical outcomes QoL. Materials Methods: We performed retrospective review prospectively maintained database, looking patients requiring...
Objective . Laparostomy can be applied in trauma, abdominal sepsis, intra-abdominal hypertension, or compartment syndrome. Systemic infections, especially if complicated by Candida , are associated with a high risk of mortality. Methods This is single-centre retrospective case series 47 cases admitted to our Department, which required laparostomy procedure; we analyzed the type surgery, temporary closure, duration open abdomen, complications, SOFA score, mortality and empirical targeted...
