Microthrombi formation in the pulmonary circulation is one of the main pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the unfavorable respiratory evolution of CoViD-19 patients. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant therapy is a major pillar of treatment. But sometimes LMWH causes severe complications that can result in death. This is a retrospective, descriptive study, covering September 2020 and presenting 3 cases of severe hemorrhages followed by death in COVID-19 anticoagulated patients in therapeutic doses with LMWH in the hospital units of origin. Patients had hematomas of the rectus abdominal muscles and hemoperitoneum (2 cases) respectively hematoma of left gluteal muscles (1 case). The 2 patients with hematoma of rectus abdominal muscles were operated. The death occurred between 1-4 days after hospitalization.

A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study of Ultrasound-Guided Rectus Sheath Block for Pain Management in Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair with Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) in laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair with intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM).
Methods: A total of 139 patients scheduled for laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair with IPOM were selected and randomly assigned to either the group receiving general anesthesia combined with bilateral rectus sheath block (Group GR, 71 patients) or the group receiving general anesthesia alone (Group G, 68 patients). We monitored the patients' heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at four time points: before anesthesia induction (T1), at the start of surgery (T2), during mesh fixation (T3), and upon removal of the laryngeal mask (T4).

Despite significant advances in endovascular techniques, open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair continues to play an important role in vascular surgery. Many studies have described the advantages of epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia over general anesthesia alone as an analgesic method for open AAA repair. Several recent guidelines have recommended epidural anesthesia as the first option for pain management in open AAA repair.

A 50-year-old woman with a history of adult granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) of the right ovary was under follow-up after undergoing several surgeries, including a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. She was initially diagnosed eight years ago and remained disease-free for 52 months. However, she later experienced a recurrence, indicated by elevated inhibin B levels (58 ng/mL) and the presence of peritoneal soft tissue tumors.

Aim: Diastasis recti is a common contour abnormality of the anterior abdominal wall, where an increased distance between the rectus abdominis muscles results in a visible or palpable bulge in this area. This study aimed to characterize this clinical entity in children.
Material And Methods: Anatomy of the rectus abdominis muscles and the linea alba, with a special focus on the interrectus distance (distance between two bellies of the rectus abdominis muscles), was studied using ultrasound.
