[Decolonization of autologous blood with cefuroxime during hardware reinfusion in neurosurgical patients].
Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko
December 2024
Burdenko Neurosurgical Center, Moscow, Russia.
Unlabelled: Autologous blood obtained during hardware reinfusion can be bacterially contaminated with skin microflora in most cases (up to 90%) regardless of the area of surgical intervention. Increased volume of washing solution for red blood cell management, white blood cell filtration and X-ray irradiation do not always provide complete decontamination.
Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of adding cefuroxime to extracorporeal circuit during hardware blood reinfusion.
Successful surgical treatment for primary cardiac angiosarcoma: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
November 2023
Department of Radiotherapy, Takarazuka City Hospital, Hyogo, Japan.
Background: Primary cardiac angiosarcomas are extremely rare and their prognosis is poor. Surgical resection is the first-line treatment; however, no clear standard of care has been clearly established because of the rarity of these tumors.
Case Presentation: A 61-year-old man who had presented with dyspnea on exertion was referred to our hospital.
Comparison of high intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave in treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a randomized controlled study.
Lasers Med Sci
November 2024
Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Üniversiteler Mahallesi, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Çankaya, 06800, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the short-term effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on pain, sensitivity, handgrip strength, and function in treating lateral epicondylitis (LE) in 47 patients.
- Participants were divided into two groups, receiving either HILT or ESWT three times a week for three weeks, along with exercises, and assessed using various measurement tools before, one week, and six weeks post-treatment.
- Both treatments showed significant improvement in pain and functionality, but there were no significant differences between the groups in efficacy, indicating that both methods are effective and safe for short-term management of LE.
Development and validation of the competing risk nomogram and risk classification system for predicting cancer-specific mortality in patients with cervical adenosquamous carcinoma treated via radical hysterectomy.
Biomol Biomed
November 2024
Department of Clinical Laboratory, Tianjin First Central Hospital, School of Medicine, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- A competing risk nomogram was developed to predict cervical adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC)-specific death in patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy, using data from the SEER database.
- Key factors influencing ASC-specific mortality included advanced age, Black race, higher tumor grade, larger tumor size, and treatment types like radiotherapy without chemotherapy.
- The nomogram showed better predictive performance compared to traditional TNM staging and may aid clinicians in creating personalized treatment plans and follow-up strategies.
The effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on cutaneous radiation injury in a mouse model.
Plast Reconstr Surg
September 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Keimyung University School of Medicine, Daegu, Republic of Korea.
Background: Although radiation-induced skin injuries are a concern in patients receiving radiation therapy, there are few effective treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on irradiated fibroblasts and mouse skin.
Methods: In the in vitro study of human dermal fibroblasts, the experimental group was subjected to ESWT following irradiation (20 Gy).
