Published: March 1995

During the last 20 years (1972-1992), 421 patients underwent surgery for hydatid disease of the liver. 96 out of 421 patients had a rupture such as, intrabiliary rupture 49 patients, intrathoracic rupture 43 patients and free rupture in the peritoneal cavity 4 patients. The surgical treatment required a variety of procedures: 1) Prolonged tube drainage of the residual cavity and exploration of the common bile duct followed by either T tube drainage or sphincteroplasty or choledocho-duedonostomy if it was necessary, for intrabiliary rupture. 2) Lung resection if it was necessary, and evacuation plus drainage and the hepatic cavity followed by suture of the diaphragmatic rupture of closure of the bronchial opening if present for intrathoracic rupture. 3) Lavage and prolonged tube drainage of the hepatic cavity for free rupture in the peritoneal cavity. Five patients died in the postoperative period one from suppurative cholagitis, one from pulmonary embolism and 3 from M.O.F.

Background: The role of beta-blockers in severe, traumatic brain injury (TBI) management is debated. Severe TBI may elicit a surge of catecholamines, which has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We hypothesize administering propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, within 48 h of TBI will reduce patient mortality within 30 days of injury.

Background: This study investigates the feasibility and early outcomes of early myocardial reperfusion in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD), evaluating its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to traditional cardioplegic arrest techniques.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 168 patients diagnosed with TAAD who underwent surgery at the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command in China from January 2021 to July 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: early myocardial reperfusion (EMR group,  = 66) and cardioplegic arrest (CA group,  = 102).

Objectives:  Antifibrinolytics, such as tranexamic acid (TXA), are widely used in cardiac surgery to reduce bleeding risks; however, the optimal dosage for TXA infusion remains a subject of debate. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-dose compared with low-dose TXA infusion in cardiac surgery patients.

Methods:  PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched until June 10, 2023, for studies assessing efficacy outcomes (e.
