This second survey investigates course pandemic.A web distributed to medical specialists four-week...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global health problem with pandemic character. Lung transplant recipients may be particularly at risk due to the high degree of immunosuppression and lung being organ primarily affected by COVID-19. We describe 16-year-old male 64-year-old female recently transplanted patients COVID-19 during inpatient rehabilitation. Both were receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy had no signs...
Abstract Background Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars modern patient-centric philosophy care. This study aims to explore SDM in discipline trauma emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well barriers facilitators for implementation among surgeons. Methods Grounding on literature topics understanding, barriers, a survey was created by multidisciplinary committee endorsed World Society Emergency Surgery (WSES). The sent all 917...
Morgagni-Larrey congenital diaphragmatic hernia (MLH) is rare in adult patients and surgery performed infrequently. The evidence regarding the most beneficial treatment modality low. Nevertheless, with increasing experience minimally-invasive surgery, literature proves laparoscopic approach as being safely feasible. However, knowledge on disease well options are based single surgeon's experiences small case series literature.Retrospective single-center analysis (≥ 18 years) MLH from 01/2003...
To reduce the shortage of organs for transplantation by expanding organ selection criteria as a means to increase pool potential lung donors. In this study, we sought investigate impact using lungs from very old donors aged >70 years on outcomes after transplantation. Between January 2010 and November 2016, 96 patients with end-stage disease underwent in our centres. Lung were divided into 3 groups according age (donor <60 years, 60–69 ≥70 years). We examined effect donor various short-...
Abstract Background Investigating the context of trauma and acute care surgery, article aims at understanding factors that can enhance some ethical aspects, namely importance patient consent, perceptiveness role leader, perceived ethics as an educational subject. Methods The employs international questionnaire promoted by World Society Emergency Surgery. Results Through analysis 402 fully filled questionnaires surgeons from 72 different countries, three main topics are investigated through...
Abstract Perianal abscesses are frequent diseases in general surgery. Principles of standard patient care surgical drainage with exploration and concomitant treatment fistula. Antiinfective therapy is frequently applied cases severe local disease perianal sepsis. However, the role microbiologic testing purulence from disputed knowledge concerning bacteriology bacterial resistances very limited. A retrospective cohort study was performed consecutive patients (≥ 12 years age) a tertiary...
Abstract Purpose The association between sarcopenia of kidney transplant recipients and outcome after transplantation (KT) has not yet been fully understood is still considered controversial. aim our study was to analyze the impact pre-transplant on graft function, postoperative complication rates, survival patients renal transplantation.
