Association of red blood cell distribution width with mortality among multiple trauma patients.

Background: Identifying the severity of trauma to provide timely and adequate treatment and predict the prognosis are some of the significant challenges in trauma management. Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with several pathologies and associated mortality. This study aims to evaluate the RDW in predicting 24 h and 30-day mortality among multiple trauma patients.

The effect of dimethicone on preventing ileus in patients with pelvic and femoral fractures: A clinical trial.

Ileus and pseudo-obstruction are clinical syndromes that are among the most common postoperative complications. Identifying an effective treatment approach for these conditions is essential. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Dimethicone on preventing ileus in patients with pelvic and femoral fractures.

Sigmoid volvulus secondary to undescended testicle: Report of first case in the literatures.

Sigmoid volvulus accounts for 20%-50% of colonic obstructions in Eastern countries. This occurs mostly in patients with a lack of mobility and a history of chronic constipation. There are some very known complications of a undescended intra-abdominal testicle such as cancer, ischemia, and infertility; But the rotation of the colon around the spermatic cord of one UDT is a very rare phenomenon that there is no similar report.

Bronchoalveolar lavage of ventilator-associated pneumonia patients for antibiotic resistance and susceptibility test.

Background And Aims: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is highly prevalent nosocomial infection among patients under mechanical ventilation. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is effective in identifying the type of pathogen involved and determine the course of antibiotic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of different pathogens involved in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and associated antibiotic resistance and sensitivity pattern.

A retrospective study on the cardiac assessment of isolated sternal fracture patients based on radiographic and clinical outcomes.

Objective: Sternal fracture may be associated with major and serious injuries. In this study, the complications associated with isolated sternal fracture in trauma patients are evaluated based on radiographic and cardiac findings.

Methods: This retrospective study was performed on patients with isolated sternal fractures admitted to the emergency department of (XXX) Madani Educational-Medical.

A cross-sectional study on evaluation of complete blood count-associated parameters for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Background And Aims: Acute appendicitis is one of the common causes of abdominal surgeries, however, the rate of negative appendectomy is as high as 20% as the diagnosis of appendicitis is challenging. The study aimed to evaluate complete blood count (CBC)-associated parameters among positive and negative appendectomy patients and determine their diagnostic importance.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients who suspected of acute appendicitis were included.

A rare presentation of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated with necrotizing fasciitis of scrotum and perineum (fournier gangrene).

We report a case of cooccurrence of xanthogranulomatous and emphysematous pyelonephritis along with necrotizing fasciitis (NF) of scrotum and premium in a patient was nondiabetic and the history of kidney stones. This case a unique presentation of NF due to two pyelonephritis causing fournier gangrene. Surgical management and antibiotics provide an effective management of the disease.

Surgical complications in colorectal cancer patients.

Background: Advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic sciences have allowed early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly reported cancers, particularly in elderly patients.

Methods: Open and laparoscopic surgeries are used for the removal of the tumor, along with chemotherapy, depending on the stage of cancer.

Pelvic Schwannoma: In light of a case report.

A 41-year-old man with abdominal enlargement, as a result of large retroperitoneal Schwannoma, was reported to our center. It was seen to have caused the displacement of the colon and was attached to the presacral region of the spine. Following the diagnosis, successful resection of Schwannoma was achieved.

Abdominal pain in the patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: A case report.

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is known to cause hypercoagulability, affecting a wide range of vessels, systematically. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our center with severe epigastric pain, with the history of APS. She was treated with packed cells, fresh frozen plasma and anticoagulation therapies.
