Management of rectal foreign bodies presents unique challenges in the emergency department. Rectal foreign bodies may consist of various compositional materials and ergonomics which include but are not limited to vegetables, light bulbs, everyday household items, and body packing of illicit drugs. Patients presenting to the emergency department with rectal foreign bodies range widely in age from prepubertal patients to older adults. Insertion of rectal foreign bodies have been classified as voluntary or involuntary, as well as sexual or non-sexual. The definition of rectal foreign bodies can be blurry, as many objects inserted via the rectum are large enough to enter the sigmoid colon. Although detailed epidemiologic data are scant, recent studies reported a progressive rise in complications related to rectal foreign bodies with incidence disproportionately higher in men and an average age in the mid 40s.
The goal of this single-center, randomised double-blinded trial is to compare the early stage fibrosis progression around conventional textured expander and the SmoothSilk® expander with reduced surface roughness in women undergoing bilateral nipple or skin sparing mastectomy in a prophylactic setting followed by tissue-expander based breast reconstruction. Researchers will compare intra-individually, the conventional textured expander CPX®(Mentor) and the SmoothSilk® (Motiva) expander (i) to gain a comprehensive insight into immunological mechanisms occurring at the timepoint of expander insertion (within the first days after implantation) based on WBF analysis in vitro, (ii)to determine the role and function of immune cells in a rather early stage of capsule formation (6-8 months after implantation) and under well-defined conditions in humans as well as (iii)to analyze the aesthetic outcome and clinical parameters after bilateral implant-based reconstruction using two expanders with varying surface topography within the individual patient (intra-individually).
One year national observational surveillance study of children who ingest a magnetic foreign body
Foreign Body Ingestion (FBI) is a common clinical emergency in children. Most FBs smoothly pass through the digestive tract without complications; nevertheless, some FBs can cause severe morbidity and mortality. The current work aimed at evaluating how FBI can cause respiratory distress and stridor as well as their severity according to age, gender, lodgment site, and type of the object. Factors influencing morbidity and mortality among studied patients will be deliberated as well.
Soft-tissue foreign bodies (FB) are very commonly observed in pediatric emergency departments. Some are metallic and can be diagnosed easily via X-ray radiography, whereas others are radiolucent and are hence less easily diagnosed. Not all FB can be removed effectively, even via open surgery and C-arm guidance. This deficiency may potentially be addressed through the ultrasound (US) skills instrument, which is increasingly popular and is convenient for use in the operation room. In the current study, we evaluated the efficiency of FB removal with the assistance of US and methylene blue (MB) staining.
To overcome the issues regarding training in real persons, using a simulated manikin instead of an actual patient or simulated patient is another option with consideration to the training able to be held at any time periods and no issues about minor or serious complications needed to be concerned with. The aim of this study is to devise a low-cost manikin with a specific design to serve all possible needs of end users but still keep its function as necessary for training.
Illicit subcutaneous injection of high-viscosity fluids for restoration and improvement of body contour is a growing trend all around the world. Many local and systemic complications have been described. Local complications include deformity at the site of injection, granulomas and several skin changes like erythema, induration, and plaques (well-circumscribed, elevated, superficial, solid lesion). The investigator designed a single-center, cross-sectional, retrospective, consecutive case series study and evaluated 49 surgeries performed in 35 patients with the history of foreign substances injection for cosmetic purposes and developed local complications. Investigators divided 4 groups accordingly to localization of foreign substances (FS). Group 1) FS disseminated to both lower extremities and buttocks; group 2) FS isolated to buttocks with moderate to severe skin changes, Group 3) FS isolated to lower legs with mild skin changes and superficial ulcerations and 4) FS isolated to lower legs with moderate to severe skin changes and/or ulceration. The investigators treated all patients surgically, which consisted of isolate ultrasonic liposuction for extraction of the material from the affected region (group 1) In-bloc excision and primary closure (group 2), Resection plus Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) and split thickness skin graft (STSG) (group 3) and In-bloc excision and microsurgical reconstruction (group 4). Statistical analysis was performed to find relations between type of surgery with complications, reactivation of symptoms, time for reactivation and a disease-free survival test (kaplan meier) was done.
This observational, descriptive, retrospective study the clinical and imaging findings of 10 lower legs of 5 patients with previous history of injection of modeling substances for cosmetic purposes at buttocks and hips ande developed lower limb edema. Lower limb lymphedema index and lymphoscintigraphy findings were evaluated and reported.
This study aims to describe the quality of life in patients submitted to surgical excision of the adjuvants and injured surrounding tissue. For this purpose, the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5d) facilitates to obtain values of health in the physical, psychological, and social dimensions. It is a standardized non-disease specific instrument to describe and value the health-related quality of life. Although there are only five domains, it has been found to cover the most critical dimensions of quality of life.
