Riboflavin attenuates lipopolysaccharideinduced lungs injury throughout subjects

Heterotopic ossification consists in abnormal differentiation of mesenchymal cells into osteoblastic cells, which may occur in the abdominal cavity.
A 54-year-old male who presents with small bowel obstruction, performing a laparotomy, adhesiolysis, and managed with an open abdomen with Bogota bag; the abdominal wall was closed on the 5
post-operative day. Due to recurrent symptoms of intestinal obstruction, he required a re-laparotomy after 14 days, finding a frozen abdomen with midline calcified peritoneum.
This entity is a rare benign form of ossification, associated with an inflammatory environment due to trauma after multiple abdominal interventions.

Diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) after emergency presentation is associated with a worse prognosis.
The aim of the study was to determine the sociodemographic factors related with emergency CRC surgery at our institution.
From January 2009 to December 2017, patients that underwent CRC surgery at our institution were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine the effect of the potential risk factors on the rate of emergency surgery.
A total of 247 patients underwent CRC surgery at our institution. The rate of emergency surgery was 7.7%. On univariate analysis, patients without a family history of cancer (odds ratio [OR] 4.95), living in a rural area (OR 3.7), and late clinical cancer stage (OR 5.06) were associated with emergent surgery. Mid-income status was a protective factor for emergency surgery (OR 0.14, p = 0.003). CID-1067700 On multivariate analysis, late clinical cancer stage (OR 4.41, 95% CI 1.21-16.05, p = 0.024) and mid-income economic status (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.04-0.55, p = 0.004) were identified as independent risk factors for emergency surgery.
Social, economic, and demographic factors were identified as predictors for emergent CRC surgery.

To evaluate the association of the moment of administration of intratympanic dexamethasone with the auditory results in patients with sudden idiopathic hearing loss.
An observational, longitudinal, analytical, retrospective study on patients treated for sudden idiopathic hearing loss with dexamethasone sodium phosphate as initial management. Auditory threshold, auditory gain (dB) and percentage of patients who improved from those who started treatment in the first week (group 1S) versus those started management from the second week (group 2S) are compared. A p < 0.05 was considered significant.
101 cases (37 males and 64 female) were included. Before disease, patients had similar auditory function, after treatment patients in group 1S had significantly better phonetic discrimination than those in group 2S (33.9 ± 18.3 vs. 43.6 ± 26.1 dB; p = 0.036) hearing gain in group 1S was 32.0±11.9 dB and in group 2S was 18.2 ± 9.5 dB (p < 0.001). 93.5% of those who started treatment the first week had auditory improvement while only 61.8% in second week (p < 0.001).
Intratympanic dexamethasone sodium phosphate administered in the first week was more effective in inducing better phonetic discrimination in most cases and is safe than in the second week.

Acute calculous cholecystitis (AC) is one of the most frequent surgical emergencies in our field. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the treatment of choice, although not sufficiently widespread.
To analyze the application of the Tokyo Guidelines in the management of AC and to determine the influence of the degree of severity on management and prognosis.
Prospective, observational study of patients with a primary diagnosis of AC between 2010 and 2015.. Exclusion criteria AC recurrence; AC as a secondary diagnosis; acalculous cholecystitis; concurrent biliary pathology. Severity was classified according Tokyo 2013 Guidelines.
998 patients were included 338 (33.9%) mild AC, 567 (56.8%) moderate AC, and 93 (9.3%) severe AC. A total of 582 (58.3%) patients were operated on. Postoperative complications Dindo-Clavien grade ≥ II 12.6% mild AC 3.6%; moderate AC 12.2%; severe AC 49.0% (p < 0.001). Overall mortality 2% mild AC 0%; moderate AC 0.5%; severe AC 18.0% (p < 0.001).
Urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the treatment of choice for mild and moderate AC. In patients with severe AC, the risks and benefits of surgery should be assessed, given the high degree of complications and associated mortality.

To analyze a medical prescription from the 18th century in the New Kingdom of Granada, nowadays Colombia, used in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, specifically wounds and skin ulcers.
A documentary search was conducted in the Cipriano Rodríguez Santamaria Historical Archive of the Octavio Arizmendi Posada Library, at Universidad de La Sabana (Chía, Colombia), and a review of the literature available in electronic databases.
The colonial medical prescription mentions the benefits of lead acetate in poultice for inflammatory processes in general and skin alterations. However, its use is not recommended due to its potential cytotoxic effect at tissue level in various organs.

The reconstruction of the proximal humerus is possible from the resection of the tumor and the placement of a prosthesis. In some cases, they do not meet the anthropometric aspects of the patients.
To determine the parameters to size the components of a humeral prosthesis and the development of a set, using design software.
Forty patients were selected for prostheses, radiographs and CT scans were analyzed and statistical tests were applied to the measurements.
The length of the tumors was 8-20 cm. The minimum length of the humerus was 28 cm and 33 cm the maximum. Correlation was observed between the humerus and the tumor and the height of the patient with p = 0.93088 and p = 0.904564, respectively; humerus diameter, p = 0.2345. The set will include three components, diameter 6-10 mm, and length of 24, 26 and 28 cm. Three modular spacers with lengths of 6, 8.5 and 13 cm. Crowns 6.5 and 8.5 cm long, 1.3 cm in diameter and 5 mm nut.
With the development of the set, poorly calculated resections and adaptation to any humerus size can be resolved.
