Case report: Bilateral eye injuries in members of one family due to a cluster munition in Ukraine.

The aim of the study was to report the effects of surgical treatment of three victims of a cluster munition in Ukraine. A 32-year-old woman and her sons-6-year-old male twins-presented in Poland after 18 days of delay in treatment. All ocular injuries were bilateral.

THE ULTRASONOGRAPHY EXAMINATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLES IN TRAUMATIC ISCHEMIA (EXPERIMENTAL STUDY).

Objective: The aim: To establish indicators and significance of sonography in the evaluation of muscle necrosis in ischemia of the limb acording to quantitative ultrasonographic indicators and density of collagen by histological method.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: In experiments, rabbits modeled with 6-hour limb ischemia by applying an elastic tourniquet. On days 5, 15, and 30, ultrasound and histological studies of the muscles and correlation analysis were performed between the muscles' entropy and the degree of their damage (atrophy, fibrosis and necrosis).

PERIPHERAL NERVE LESIONS AFTER A MECHANICALLY INDUCED LIMB ISCHEMIA.

The article describes the results of studying the changes in peripheral nerves of a limb after a mechanically induced ischemia. It assessed myelinated nerve fibers in sciatic and tibial nerves after 6 hours of ischemia, simulated by a tourniquet on the level of a tibial, knee, and a lower third of a femur. Fasciculi of the sciatic nerve have shown no changes in the density of nerve fibers in 5th, 15th, and 30th days after the simulated ischemia, but we revealed the deformed fibers with the different thickness of myelin sheath.

Acute coronary syndrome leading to revision of a co-morbid condition in a young man with arthritis.

Although patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have an increased incidence of cardiovascular events, the development of coronary artery disease and of myocardial infarction at young age is rather uncommon. Herein, we report a case of a 26-year-old man without classical cardiovascular risk factors, but with a 2-year history of RA, who experienced recurrent episodes of angina-like chest pain. His electrocardiogram showed ST-elevation and T-wave inversion in anterior chest leads, and the patient was sent for coronary angiography, which revealed multivessel coronary artery disease.

2017 update of the WSES guidelines for emergency repair of complicated abdominal wall hernias.

Emergency repair of complicated abdominal wall hernias may be associated with worsen outcome and a significant rate of postoperative complications. There is no consensus on management of complicated abdominal hernias. The main matter of debate is about the use of mesh in case of intestinal resection and the type of mesh to be used.

World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines for management of skin and soft tissue infections.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) encompass a variety of pathological conditions ranging from simple superficial infections to severe necrotizing soft tissue infections. Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are potentially life-threatening infections of any layer of the soft tissue compartment associated with widespread necrosis and systemic toxicity. Successful management of NSTIs involves prompt recognition, timely surgical debridement or drainage, resuscitation and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
