Pericardial effusion as a rare complication of a perforated appendicitis.
Int J Surg Case Rep
April 2017
Introduction: Whilst pericardial effusion is a known complication of abdominal pathology, it is rarely reported following ruptured appendicitis and even more rarely requires drainage in that situation. This work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria (Agha et al., 2016).

- The study investigates neonatal neuroblastoma (NNBL), a rare tumor, focusing on cases detected before or after birth.
- Out of 120 diagnosed neuroblastoma cases, 12 were NNBL, with 50% identified ante-natally and 50% post-natally.
- Both diagnosis groups showed similar tumor characteristics and staging, with a remarkable 100% survival rate for all patients, indicating that the timing of diagnosis does not affect outcomes.
Aim: We aimed to quantify the impact of a raised preoperative ambient temperature (T(ambient)) on core temperature (T(core)) after induction of anesthesia in children.
Background: It has been suggested that prewarming of patients before anesthesia induction reduces postinduction drop in T(core). Neither the prewarming temperature nor its duration is established for adults or children.
