Background: Surgery on the abdominal aorta to treat aneurysms or occlusive disease is a major undertaking which requires intensive physiological support and fluid management. Blood products are often used but the main fluid replacement is with crystalloids or colloids. For years there has been controversy over which fluid is optimal and a number of studies have examined the subject. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2000 and previously updated in 2002.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of different non-blood replacement fluids used in abdominal aorta procedures with a view to identifying the optimal fluid for use.

Search Strategy: The Cochrane Peripheral Vascular Diseases Group searched their Specialised Register (August 2009) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2009, Issue 3) for publications describing randomised controlled trials of non-blood replacement fluids in abdominal aortic surgery. In addition, the reference lists from retrieved trials were screened for further information about trials.

Selection Criteria: Randomised controlled trials assessing the effects of at least one specific non-blood fluid used for replacement therapy in operations on, and confined to, the abdominal aorta.

Data Collection And Analysis: Data were extracted and then entered into the Review Manager software where statistical analyses were performed.

Main Results: Thirty-eight trials involving 1589 patients were included. Patients undergoing aortic surgery had various physiological parameters measured before and after their operation (these were cardiac, respiratory, haematological, and biochemical). Patients were randomised to a fluid type. This review demonstrated that no single fluid affects any outcome measure significantly more than another fluid across a range of outcomes. The death rate in these studies was 2.45% (39 patients).

Authors' Conclusions: Despite the confirmed beneficial effects of colloids in this review, further studies are still required. There are no studies examining the effects of combination fluid therapy. The primary research outcome was death, for which results were limited; therefore, future studies should pay more attention to short-term outcomes such as minimising the need for allogenic blood transfusion, complications (organ failure), and length of stay in both the intensive care unit and hospital.

Low-grade cystic mucinous neoplasm of the sigmoid colon has never been previously reported and a classification for such a tumor does not currently exist. Here, we present a case of low-grade cystic mucinous neoplasm of the sigmoid colon and discuss the differential diagnosis especially as it relates to clinical management. Our case is a 68-year-old male who presented with anemia and a history of a lower gastrointestinal tract bleed.

A man in his early 60s, with a history of obstructive airway disease and hypertension, had a fall from a height 1 year ago. He developed a fracture of the left distal tibia and fibula, for which open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) was done. Since then, he has had persistent pain and discharge from the implant site, for which multiple antibiotics were given and debridement was done numerous times.

Background: Shunt systems for hydrocephalus therapy are commonly based on passive mechanical pressure valves that are driven by the intracranial, intra-abdominal, and hydrostatic pressure. The differential pressure acting on the valve determines the drainage rate of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) but is not a gauge of the physiological condition of the patient. Internal and external influences can cause over- or underdrainage and lead to pathological levels of intracranial pressure (ICP).

Their close proximity to abdominal structures and organs places the ureters at risk of iatrogenic injury during abdominal and pelvic surgical procedures. Ureteroureterostomy is the mainstay intervention for the repair of the proximal and middle ureter. However, the anastomosis may be subject to leakage, leading to potentially serious complications, including urinary tract infection, peritonitis, sepsis, and kidney damage.
