Out-Patient versus In-Patient Arteriovenous Fistula Creation for Dialysis: Assessing Cost-Effectiveness Alongside Clinical Implications.

(1) Background: The surgical procedure to create an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can be performed in either an ambulatory or in-patient hospital setting, depending on the case's complexity, the anesthesia type used, and the patient's comorbidities. The main scope of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness and clinical implications of surgically creating an AVF in both ambulatory and in-hospital settings. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study, in which we initially enrolled all patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) admitted to the Vascular Surgery Department, Emergency County Hospital of Targu Mures, Romania, to surgically create an AVF for dialysis, between January 2020 and December 2022.

Early Versus Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis: A Single Center Experience.

Acute cholecystitis (AC) represents a public health problem, increasing hospitalization costs, especially determined by the surgical treatment of these patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the therapeutic gold standard, the timing of the intervention: early (ELC) versus late (DLC), is still debated, impacting the results. The primary objective of the study was to compare postoperative outcomes between ELC and DLC.

Antibacterial and Phytochemical Screening of Artemisia Species.

[Foreign bodies in the rectum at our department during the last ten years].

During the past 10 years the authors have treated 17 patients on their department because of got stuck or injury-causing rectal foreign bodies. In 12 cases swallowed, in 3 cases "per anum"-placed up foreign bodies were observed, in 2 cases penetrating anorectal injury caused by the foreign body. In 9 cases after successful Recamier-dilatation the foreign bodies were removed per anum in 5 cases they were removed in short time narcosis by rectoscope.
