Objective: Introduction: Patients, undergoing treatment in the intensive care units (ICU) often (51&) suffer from the infections and predominantly (71&) receive antibiotics. The aim: We aimed to review scientific literature, that highlights recent developments in etiology and emerge problems of struggling infectious complications in critically ill.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We performed a search of literature from 1994 to 2018 years in Google Scholar, PubMed, MedLine, Embase, Cochrane. Data from 70 articles devoted and books to the problem were accumulated and synthesized in the article.

Conclusion: Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance is considered as challenging problem in medicine throughout the world. Strains of S.aureus with antibiotic resistance have acquired genes of resistance to methicillin, vancomycin. There was registered high occurrence of E. coli, K. pneumonia, Acinetobacter spp. and P. aeruginosa, which produce extended spectrum β-lactamases, carbapenemases and have a rising levels of resistance to aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones.

EARLY REFEEDING AFTER COLORECTAL CANCER SURGERY REDUCES COMPLICATIONS AND LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY.

Arq Bras Cir Dig

Background: Multimodal protocols such as Acceleration of Total Postoperative Recovery and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery propose a set of pre- and post-operative care to accelerate the recovery of surgical patients. However, in clinical practice, simple care such as early refeeding and use of drains are often neglected by multidisciplinary teams.

Aims: Investigate whether early postoperative refeeding determines benefits in colorectal oncological surgery; whether the patients' clinical conditions preoperatively and the use of a nasogastric tube and abdominal drain delay their recovery.

Annual epidemics of influenza result in 3-5 million cases of severe illness and more than 600 000 deaths. Severe forms of influenza are usually characterized by vascular endothelial cells damage. Thus, influenza A viruses, including subtypes A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), as well as highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, can infect the vascular endothelium, leading to activation and subsequent dysfunction of these cells.

Protothecosis is a severe, emerging opportunistic infection caused by the saprophytic, achlorophyllous microalgae of the genus Prototheca. Though uncommon, human and animal cases are increasing worldwide, making awareness of this fungal-like pathogen important in both human and veterinary medicine. We report a fatal case of disseminated protothecosis caused by P.

Donor cell leukemia (DCL), in which malignancy evolves from donor's stem cells, is an infrequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) derived from donor cell is extremely rare and only four cases have been reported to date. Herein we report a case of donor cell-derived APL developing 32 months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndromes.
