Proctocolectomy with ileostomy is an established surgical treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Adenocarcinoma of an ileostomy is a rare complication in long-term ileostomies. We present the case of a 69-year-old man who presented with bloody stools and a tumour at the ileostomy site 37 years after ileostomy formation.

Bilateral Femoral Neck Fracture in a Postpartum Woman: Beware of the Risk Factors.

Bilateral femoral neck fractures pose a rare injury. Literature data describe this entity in association with epileptic seizures, renal osteodystrophy, electric shock, pregnancy-associated transient osteoporosis, and hypocalcemic seizure. In the present work, we report on a rare case of a 28-year-old woman who suffered from such an injury 3 days postpartum.

The Efficacy of Noble Gases in the Attenuation of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses.

Objective: Noble gases have been attributed to organ protective effects in ischemia reperfusion injury in a variety of medical conditions, including cerebral and cardiac ischemia, acute kidney injury, and transplantation. The aim of this study was to appraise the available evidence by systematically reviewing the literature and performing meta-analyses.

Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library.

Hypothermic machine perfusion in kidney transplantation.

Purpose Of Review: This article summarizes novel developments in hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) as an organ preservation modality for kidneys recovered from deceased donors.

Recent Findings: HMP has undergone a renaissance in recent years. This renewed interest has arisen parallel to a shift in paradigms; not only optimal preservation of an often marginal quality graft is required, but also improved graft function and tools to predict the latter are expected from HMP.
