Article Synopsis
- - Rasmussen aneurysm is a serious condition that can develop in tuberculosis patients, involving an aneurysm of a pulmonary artery next to a tuberculous cavity.
- - This condition can cause sudden or severe bleeding from the lungs, known as hemoptysis, which is a medical emergency.
- - Quick diagnosis and treatment, typically through a procedure called endovascular embolization, are crucial to prevent life-threatening complications.
Pulmonary tuberculosis with the simultaneous development of the complications of empyema, multiloculated pyopneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum is rare. The development of these complications leads to remarkably increased incidence of morbidity and mortality in patients. So appropriate and timely management needs to be ensured for better outcomes.

- The study focuses on periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around the knee, examining patient demographics, fracture types, and treatment methods to assess their effect on in-hospital mortality.
- A total of 420 patients from a larger database were analyzed, revealing a 6.4% mortality rate; key risk factors included higher ASA grades, peripheral vascular disease, rheumatic disease, and fractures associated with loose implants.
- Management type did not significantly affect mortality, but surgical interventions led to longer hospital stays and increased likelihood of further surgeries compared to non-operative treatments.
