Background/aims: Vascular access (VA) is the highest risk factor for blood infections, hospitalization, and mortality of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The risk of mortality while using a catheter is greater than that while using grafts. The objective of this article is to know the survival rate in relation to the type of VA.

Objective: To evaluate the role of a combination of probiotics on the clinical, histological changes and feeding tolerance in patients with UC.
Methods: An open UC patients with mild to moderate activity and clinical trial was conducted.
Unlabelled: The objective of the study is to analyze the efficacy and safety of splenectomy in the management of refractory autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AT)/autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) associated or not with systemic lupus erythematosus. Thirty-four patients after splenectomy due to severe AT and/or AIHA were divided into group 1 (G1) 18 SLE/APS patients: 9 AT/SLE patients, 6 SLE/antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and 3 primary APS. Group 2 (G2): 16 patients without SLE/APS: 2 Fisher-Evans syndrome and 14 AIHA.

[Frequency, clinical evolution and prognosis of toxic megacolon].
Rev Med Inst Mex Seguro Soc
January 2017
Article Synopsis
- - Toxic megacolon (TM) is a serious complication often linked to conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, with a recent rise in cases related to pseudomembranous colitis.
- - A study involving 1,500 hospitalized patients identified 13 TM cases, predominantly among middle-aged males, with various underlying diseases, primarily ulcerative colitis and pseudomembranous colitis.
- - The study found a high mortality rate of 61.5% among TM patients, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes, despite the low prevalence of TM (0.86%).
Background: the morbidity and mortality in surgery of gallbladder and biliary tract (SGBT) in the geriatric patient define the prognostic. The aim was to describe the perioperative and immediate post-operative complications of the geriatric patient undergoing SGBT.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with control group in patients older than 60 years was done.
[Adenocarcinoid neoplasm of the colon. Case report].
Rev Med Inst Mex Seguro Soc
April 2013
Background: adenocarcinoid tumor is a rare malignancy that combines clinical and histological features of epithelial origin (adenocarcinoma) and neuroendocrine (carcinoid), occupies less than 1 % of all colorectal cancer histology, occurring mainly in the appendix and its presence in the colon is rare.
Clinical Case: we present a case of a 41-year-old female with sigmoid colon tumor, who underwent an extended left hemicolectomy and anastomosis; having a good postoperative evolution, with hospital stay of seventh days. The final histopathological study reported was adenocarcinoid colon tumor with free margins of injuries and four positive nodes of adenocarcinoma.
Objective: To determine the maxillofacial trauma profile, concomitant results and treatment of those persons injured in bicycle accidents. Several variables were identified such as age, sex, mechanism, place, month, injury patterns and symptomatology, time for receiving medical care, and treatments.
Material And Methods: This was an exploratory, descriptive, analytic, and retrospective study.
Objective: To determine clinical correlation of reports of computed tomographic angiography renal (CT-AR) and surgical findings of the kidney donor patient.
Material And Methods: Patients were submitted nephrectomy in the related live donor renal transplant program between January and December 2002 as paut of life to which he is made as he CT-AR study protocol. Statistical analysis was carried out by descriptive statistics.
Objective: Our objective was to determine the relationship between reflux of duodenogastric contents with different degrees of esophagitis, and its levels and activity, with regard to the severity of esophagitis-induced duodenogastroesophageal reflux disease (DGERD).
Material And Methods: Our study design was prospective, transversal, descriptive, observational, and open. We took samples of gastric and esophageal juices from patients with a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis during the period from March to August 2002.
