Patient characterization and adverse health care-related events in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who died in a tertiary hospital.

Objective: To characterize health care-related adverse events in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who died in a tertiary hospital.

Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study, that included patients who died at HUGTiP hospital between 16 March and 10 April 2020. Data was extracted from the electronic medical record.

Diagnostic errors in emergency departments.

Diagnostic errors have to be recognised as a possible adverse event inherent to clinical activity and incorporate them as another quality indicator. Different sources of information report their frequency, although they may still be underestimated. Contrary to what one could expect, in most cases, it does not occur in infrequent diseases.

Treatment of incisional hernias adopting an intra-abdominal approach with a new low-density composite prosthetic material: proceed: our preliminary experience on 50 cases.

Introduction: The management of incisional hernias remains a challenge for the general surgeon. Repairing by using prosthetic materials has reduced the relapse rate, but intra-abdominal mesh placement continues to be a source of controversy.

Objective: An evaluation is made of the results of treating incisional hernias with a new intra-abdominal low-density composite mesh through both the open and the laparoscopic approach.
