Necrotizing Fasciitis and Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome: A Case Report.

Group A (GAS), particularly (), is a significant human pathogen responsible for infections often ranging from mild superficial conditions to severe, life-threatening diseases like necrotizing fasciitis (NF) and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). This case report details the rapid deterioration of a previously healthy 49-year-old woman who presented with localized symptoms in her left thigh, later escalating to septic shock and multi-organ failure related to GAS infection. Initial evaluations indicated significant inflammation and acute kidney injury, prompting broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment.

Extracapsular Dissection Versus Superficial Parotidectomy for Benign Parotid Tumors: A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis.

Utilizing data extracted from Scopus and Web of Science databases, all the publications comparing "Superficial Parotidectomy" AND "Extracapsular dissection" were considered. Original research, review articles, letters, and note articles were included. Data about publication frequency, language distribution, authorship patterns, co-occurrence of keywords, and citation counts were extracted.

Airway management in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery: State of art review.

Airway management in maxillofacial surgery is a critical aspect of anesthesia and perioperative care, demanding a broad array of techniques to ensure effective ventilation and oxygenation. The anatomical and physiological complexities of maxillofacial procedures necessitate a deep understanding of airway management strategies. Patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery often face heightened risks of airway compromise due to trauma, congenital abnormalities, or the surgical interventions themselves, requiring clinicians to be proficient in both routine and advanced techniques.

Videolaryngoscopy versus Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for Awake Tracheal Intubation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

: In recent years, videolaryngoscopy has increasingly been utilized as an alternative to fiberoptic bronchoscopy in awake intubation. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether videolaryngoscopy represents a viable substitute for fiberoptic bronchoscopy. We conducted this systematic review with a meta-analysis to compare videolaryngoscopy and fiberoptic bronchoscopy for awake intubation.
