AI Article Synopsis

  • Postoperative intraabdominal purulent-septic complications arise mainly due to uncontrolled inflammation caused by mediators, leading to organ damage far from the initial infection site.
  • Intraabdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome exacerbate these issues, causing widespread organ dysfunction due to mechanical failures in systems like respiration and circulation.
  • A modern approach to treating affected patients involves complex strategies that address these complications and aim to improve outcomes.

Article Abstract

The issues of pathophysiology, diagnosis and surgical treatment of postoperative intraabdominal purulent-septic complications were suggested. Noncontrolled abortion of mediators with subsequent development of inflammation and damage in the organs, localized far from primary focus, constitutes the main factor of the postoperative intraabdominal purulent-septic complications occurrence. In such a situation the intraabdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome also promote the deepening of multiple dysfunctions of organs due to mechanical failure of functions in respiratory, hemodynamical, excretional systems of the organism, what promotes the development of vicious circles and the cascade reactions, leading to exitus lethalis. The modern strategy and tactics of complex treatment of such patients is enlighted.

Prognostic Value of Myocardial CT-ECV in Severe Aortic Stenosis Requiring Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging

January 2025

Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, Milan, Italy.

Aim: Computed tomography (CT)-derived extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a non-invasive method to quantify myocardial fibrosis. Evaluating CT-ECV during aortic valve replacement (AVR) planning CT in severe aortic stenosis (AS) may aid prognostic stratification. This meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic significance of CT-ECV in severe AS necessitating AVR.

Importance: There are limited data to guide practices to reduce surgical site infections following sacral neuromodulation; however, many surgeons prescribe prophylactic postoperative antibiotics after device implantation.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the proportion of patients with sacral neuromodulation device-associated surgical site infections after use of prophylactic postoperative antibiotics versus none.

Study Design: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing sacral neuromodulation device implantation at 11 institutions from January 2014 to December 2023, comparing outcomes in patients who did versus did not receive prophylactic postoperative antibiotic treatment.

Purpose: The research investigates the efficacy of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) treatment in facilitating the development of compact water droplets on the rear surface of synthetic lenses with capsule imperfections during the process of fluid-air exchange.

Method: This study examined four patients with intraocular lens (IOL) implants and posterior capsule defects who experienced the formation of dense water droplets on the posterior surface following fluid-air exchange. When this occurrence obstructs fundus visualization during surgery, it is recommended to suspend the surgical procedure.

Background: Chronic hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers, present significant safety concerns, patient burdens, and challenges to health care systems globally.

Objective: To review the mechanism of action and clinical function of bromelain-based enzymatic debridement (BBD) in the context of wound care, focusing on the mechanism of action of BBD and its formulation for chronic wounds in particular.

Methods: A literature review was conducted to assess both bromelain's mechanism of action as well as clinical and preclinical studies on the use of BBD, searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles published between November 1992 and July 2024.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to Rare Tongue Lipoma.

J Craniofac Surg

October 2024

State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Stomatology, School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature adipocytes, commonly found in subcutaneous tissues. Despite their prevalence in various body regions, they are relatively rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, as well as the treatment outcomes of 57 patients diagnosed with lipoma.
