Nonoperative Management of Multiple Penetrating Cardiac and Colon Wounds from a Shotgun: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Introduction: Surgery for cardiac trauma is considered fatal and for wounds of the colon by associated sepsis is normally considered; however, conservative management of many traumatic lesions of different injured organs has progressed over the years.

Presentation Of The Case: A 65-year-old male patient presented with multiple shotgun wounds on the left upper limb, thorax, and abdomen. On evaluation, he was hemodynamically stable with normal sinus rhythm and normal blood pressure, no dyspnea, or abdominal pain.

Hemicorporectomy as a life-saving strategy for severe pelvic ring crush injury: a case report.

Hemicorporectomy is an ultra-radical surgery used only in extreme circumstances. Initially used for advanced pelvic neoplastic diseases and intractable pelvic infection, it may also be the only treatment option in patients with crushed pelvic trauma, in cases there are no reconstruction options. This procedure has a high mortality, and its success depends on the multidisciplinary approach, both in the initial phase and in the rehabilitation process.

Evaluation of holocellulase production by plant-degrading fungi grown on agro-industrial residues.

Agaricus brasiliensis CS1, Pleurotus ostreatus H1 and Aspergillus flavus produced holocellulases when grown in solid and submerged liquid cultures containing agro-industrial residues, including sugar cane bagasse and dirty cotton residue, as substrates. These isolates proved to be efficient producers of holocellulases under the conditions used in this screening. Bromatological analysis of agro-industrial residues showed differences in protein, fiber, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin content.
