Abstract Background Accurate quality of life (QoL) data and functional results after cancer surgery are lacking for older patients. The international, multicenter Geriatric Oncology Surgical Assessment Functional rEcovery Surgery (GOSAFE) Study compares QoL before identifies predictors decline in QoL. Methods GOSAFE prospectively collected major elective on adults (≥70 years). Frailty assessment was performed postoperative outcomes recorded (30, 90, 180 days postoperatively) together with by...
Pulmonary complications are the most common cause of death after surgery. This study aimed to derive and externally validate a novel prognostic model that can be used before elective surgery estimate risk postoperative pulmonary support resource allocation prioritisation during pandemic recovery. Data from an international, prospective cohort were develop for in adult patients (aged ≥18 years) across all operation disease types. The primary outcome measure was at 30 days surgery, which...
Objective The “Super Quinas” project evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention program to improve physical activity, aerobic fitness, sleep, and motor competence on children in primary school. Methods experimental group ( n = 19) enrolled a 12-week (one more extra-curricular activity class 60 min per week) compared CG 19), all aged 9–10 years. Physical (PA) sleep were measured by accelerometry, fitness was Children’s Yo-Yo test (YYIR1C) during 1st week (PRE), 6th (DUR), 12th (POST)...
Abstract Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare entity with unknown etiopathology, and prognosis generally poor. While diagnostic criteria are standardized, the optimal treatment strategy not defined due to its rarity. In this article, we present a case of primary carcinoma, discussing approach treatment.
A bladder diverticulum (BD) is an abnormal pouch protruding from the wall, which can be congenital or acquired. Acquired diverticula are more common, usually secondary to outflow obstruction neurogenic bladder. Spontaneous rupture of a BD rare, particularly in women. This report about female patient who develops abdominal pain and dysuria, progressing acute abdomen. The diagnosis spontaneous was suspected pelvic ultrasound confirmed computed tomography (CT) cystography. submitted...
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is uncommon, life threatening and remains a diagnostic radiographic challenge. Diagnosis frequently delayed, which may result in late intervention with potential catastrophic outcome. We report case of an acute laceration 40-year-old woman, personal history bipolar disease, admitted on the emergency department after falling from nine-meter building. During initial evaluation, plain chest radiograph showed multiple rib fractures associated significant left...
Abstract Introduction The “Super Quinas” project evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention program to improve PA, aerobic fitness, sleep, and motor competence on children in primary school. Methods This pilot was conducted 44 schools across country (i.e., Portugal), involved over 1600 school-age (6 10 years old). All completed MC assessment (MCA) PRE test 1st week POST 12th week. Additionally, a sub-group 38 underwent more specific tests body composition fitness) for detailed analysis...
Grynfeltt hernia (GH) is extremely rare among all abdominal wall hernias, so both diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. Surgery, open or laparoscopic, the only definitive treatment. We present a case of 71-year-old woman with GH (initially misdiagnosed as lipoma), its approach, performed hernioplasty two meshes (preperitoneal subaponeurotic position) by an approach: Sandwich technique. This technique safe, feasible, associated no short-term complications relapses.
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma associated with iliac vein rupture is a rare and life-threatening emergency. We report case of spontaneous left in healthy 49-year-old woman, no relevant medical past history or trauma. On the day she was admitted on emergency room had syncope episode hypotensive tachycardic arrival. She suffered from back pain, which started 5 days prior to admission. Workup contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed large without evidence arterial bleeding. Due...
