Article Synopsis
- Limited information exists on Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) outcomes in Latin American adults, motivating a study on clinical characteristics in Mexican patients.
- A total of 115 adult GBS patients were analyzed, revealing key clinical patterns and predictors of their short-term outcomes based on factors such as age, initial symptoms, and treatment type.
- The study found that higher Hughes scores at hospital admission were linked to poor outcomes, while early gait issues indicated a better prognosis; in-hospital mortality was notably high at 12%.
Background: Abdominal wall hernia repair after open abdomen management represents a surgical challenge, particularly due to muscle tension and lateral retraction. This study was designed to propose the use of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTA) before abdominal wall hernia repair.
Methods: A prospective study of patients with abdominal wall hernia after open abdomen management was undertaken between September 2007 and January 2009.
