Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of renal failure and hemodialysis (HD) in postoperative period after cardiovascular surgery associated with trauma.
Methods: One hundred and seventeen cases of violence-related cardiovascular trauma patients had emergent surgery between 1996 and 2009. Cases were reviewed in three main groups: Cardiac trauma in 11 patients (Group A), vascular trauma in 78 patients (Group B), and cardiovascular trauma in 28 patients (Group C). Postoperative incidence of HD requirements with acute renal failure (ARF) was investigated in these groups of patients postoperatively.
Results: Multiorgan deficiency developed in 10 patients from Group A, in 45 patients from Group B, and in 26 patients from Group C. Overall mortality was 81 cases in 117 patients. Total hospitalization periods were 21 +/- 2, 17 +/- 3, and 27 +/- 1 days for Group A, Group B, and Group C, respectively. HD administrations were indicated in 3 patients in Group A, 41 patients in Group B, and 9 patients in Group C. No statistically significant difference presented in any study parameter between groups.
Conclusions: Cardiovascular trauma is a common reason for emergent cardiovascular surgery. Postoperative renal failure occurs among these patients in a wide percentage. We strongly advocate a close and detailed follow-up of renal functions in these patients during the hospitalization period and immediate HD at indication.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United Kingdom and the second largest cause of cancer death.
Aim: To develop and validate a model using available information at the time of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in primary care to improve selection of symptomatic patients for CRC investigations.
Methods: We included all adults (≥ 18 years) referred to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust between 2018 and 2022 with symptoms of suspected CRC who had a FIT.

Background: To investigate the effect of Midnight-noon Ebb-flow combined with five-element music therapy in the continuous nursing of patients with chronic wounds.
Methods: From March 2022 to November 2023, we recruited 50 eligible chronic wound patients and randomly divided them into two groups according to a random number table: the experimental group (n = 25) and the control group (n = 25). The control group was treated with conventional nursing measures.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could contribute to the specific atherosclerosis profile observed in premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) characterized by accelerated plaque burden (calcified and non-calcified), high risk plaque features (HRP) and ischemic recurrence. Our aims were to describe EAT volume and density in pCAD compared to asymptomatic individuals matched on CV risk factors and to study their relationship with coronary plaque severity extension and vulnerability.
Materials And Methods: 208 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were analyzed.

Objective: Information technologies may enhance our traditional perioperative teaching by providing more comprehensive information beyond the clinical visit. This quality improvement study aims to assess whether the implementation of an animated surgical video improves caregiver satisfaction for children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.
Study Design: Prospective, single-blinded randomized-controlled trial was conducted between March 1 and October 1, 2023.
