Article Synopsis
- Legg Calve Perthes disease (LCPD) is a childhood hip disorder caused by reduced blood flow, leading to femoral head deformity if not treated.
- This study investigated four pelvic radiographic parameters to see if they can predict outcomes in LCPD patients, comparing data from healthy vs. affected hips.
- Significant differences were found in three parameters, but only the Acetabular Depth-Width Ratio was predictive of disease outcomes, highlighting the need for more extensive research.
Amyloidosis with gastrointestinal involvement is a rare cause of chronic diarrhoea, and should be considered especially in adult patients with intestinal malabsorption and extra GI manifestations. We present the case of a male patient who, after an oncological gastrectomy, presented with chronic diarrhea that did not respond to treatment and, after study, the cause of the diarrhea was finally found. Primary systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) initially presents as chronic diarrhea and weight loss after gastrectomy.

- This study investigates the effectiveness of combining mechanical colon preparation with oral antibiotics in reducing surgical wound infections in colorectal cancer patients undergoing elective surgery.
- Conducted on 281 patients from November 2017 to February 2020, the research found that the rate of surgical wound infections dropped significantly from 17% to 6% when oral antibiotics were administered.
- The findings support the use of mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotics as they also led to a decrease in anastomotic dehiscence rates, suggesting improved surgical outcomes.
Neurotoxicity prevention with a multimodal program (ATENTO) prior to cancer treatment versus throughout cancer treatment in women newly diagnosed for breast cancer: Protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

August 2021
A current challenge in breast cancer (BC) patients is how to reduce the side effects of cancer and cancer treatments and prevent a decrease in quality of life (QoL). Neurotoxic side effects, especially from chemotherapy, are present in up to 75% of women with BC, which implies a large impact on QoL. There is a special interest in the preventive possibilities of therapeutic exercise (TE) for these neurological sequelae, and the benefits of TE could be improved when it is combined with vagal activation techniques (VATs).
