Diabetic keratopathy has already been well characterized and defined as a clinical entity. This review focuses on exploring corneal epithelial changes in diabetic patients, aiming to provide a pragmatic overview of the existing knowledge on this topic.

Aortic Reconstruction by Cadaveric Graft After Radical Resection of Recurrent Retroperitoneal Leyomiosarcoma - A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background/aim: Retroperitoneal sarcomas represent very aggressive malignancies with high capacity of invading the surrounding vital structures.

Case Report: We present the case of a 46-year-old patient who had been initially diagnosed with a large retroperitoneal mass 18 months ago. At that moment the mass was resected en bloc with the inferior cava vein, which was reconstructed using a cadaveric graft, the histopathological studies demonstrating the presence of a leiomyosarcoma.

The time for surgery of peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis.

Peritonitis is the main complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and also an important factor for raising the cost of the method to the level of hemodialysis. Associated with PD, peritonitis is responsible for the increase of morbidity and mortality of the procedure and, at the same time, the main cause of the technique failure. Severe and prolonged peritonitis or repeated episodes of peritonitis lead to ultrafiltration failure.

Diagnosis characteristics and therapeutical options of infectious complications associated with peritoneal dialysis.

Introduction: The infectious syndrome associated with peritoneal dialysis is the most important complication of this substitution method of the renal function, also being the main cause of method failure. Refractory peritonitis can cause real problems in the differential diagnosis with secondary peritonitis, which can delay the surgical intervention and endanger the patient's life.

Materials And Methods: The patients with an end stage renal disease under peritoneal dialysis, who were admitted to "I.

The new prognostic-therapeutic index - an easy method of establishing surgical indication in the pathology of the diabetic foot.

Unlabelled: HYPOTHESIS AND AIM: The large number of invalidating surgical interventions in patients suffering from lesions of the diabetic foot, the late recognition of the lesions and sometimes the wrongful interpretation of their severity, have made necessary a multi-parameter study of these types of patients and the elaboration of a therapeutic-prognostic index to guide the physician in adopting the adequate method of treatment. Starting with the therapeutic-prognostic index imagined by professor Traian Patrascu, we have elaborated a new therapeutic prognostic index, by adding new, statistically significant parameters, for the purpose of facilitating the surgical indication, depending on the lesion type.

Methods: A number of 929 patients who were admitted at the Surgery Clinic of the "Dr.
