The aim of current single-center study was to compare the short-term outcome of suction and gauze wiping alone versus the irrigation and suction technique for peritoneal decontamination among patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of PPU. Using data from our institution's prospectively maintained database, 105 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair were enrolled in this study. The participants were further divided into the group who received peritoneal irrigation (irrigation group, n = 67) and group who received gauze wiping and suction only (suction only group, n = 38). The irrigation group had a longer operative time (140 vs. 113 min, p = 0.0001), higher number of drainage tubes (38.8% vs. 0%, p < 0.0001) and a higher incidence of intra-abdominal abscess (10.4% vs. 0%, p = 0.0469) than the suction only group. Peritoneal irrigation may be associated with a prolonged operative time and a higher number of abdominal drains. Meanwhile, gauze wiping and suction may be sufficient for peritoneal decontamination during the laparoscopic repair of PPU as further infectious complications are not observed.

Objective: To provide evidence for further reducing the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) according to investigation of the prevention and control of CLABSI in intensive care unit (ICU) in Shandong Province.
Methods: The questionnaire was developed by experts from Shandong Critical Care Medical Quality Control Center, combining domestic and foreign guidelines, consensus and research. A convenient sampling method was used to recruit survey subjects online from October 11 to 31, 2023 in the province to investigate the management status of central venous catheter (CVC) in ICU units of secondary and above hospitals.

Introduction: low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) disproportionately bear 90% of global mortality from trauma, yet robust emergency medical services (EMS) are often lacking to address the prehospital injury burden. Training lay-first responders (LFRs) is the first step toward formal (EMS) development in (LMICs). However, a gap remains as LFR first aid kit supply usage, appropriateness, and decay rates have yet to be studied but remain critical information for building sustainable LFR programs.

Article Synopsis
- Tongue necrosis is a rare condition often linked to issues like vasculitis or septic shock, which can lead to serious damage and calcification.
- A case study details a 70-year-old man who experienced bilateral tongue necrosis after septic shock, with symptoms including discoloration and swelling, but without leg ischemia.
- Successful treatment involved cleaning the affected area, highlighting the importance of regular tongue inspection during ICU care to catch complications early and reduce long-term damage.
Article Synopsis
- A 24-year-old male patient presented with generalized itching and papules on his hands.
- A purple skin marker test showed an ink-filled burrow after cleaning with alcohol, indicating a positive burrow ink test.
- This led to a clinical diagnosis of scabies, a skin condition caused by a mite infestation.
