Research paper thumbnail of Management of Hydatid Disease (Echinococcosis) in Pregnancy

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2008

Although rare, this disease can also present during pregnancy, especially in endemic areas. Although much has been written about hepatic hydatidosis, there are only a few articles (mainly case reports) on hydatid disease in association with pregnancy. A literature search was done through Medline/PubMed and Medscape independently by the authors from 1950 to 2007 for key words "echinococcosis" and "pregnancy" and "management." All retrieved articles were reviewed. Manual cross-referencing was also done with inclusion of all relevant articles. In this review, we have attempted to summarize the presentation and available management approaches to hydatid disease, and have suggested evidence-based guidelines for its management during pregnancy.

He developed a high-grade fever on the third day of admission, and serology tested positive for dengue. Treatment for dengue was instituted, leading to a good response and complete resolution of pancreatitis. The patient has been doing well and has had no recurrence of pancreatitis at the end of one year of follow-up.

This challenging condition demands a dedicated multidisciplinary team effort to overcome the morbidity and mortality in these patients. With advances in critical care management, more and more patients survive the immediate morbidity of massive intestinal resection to present with SBS. Several therapies, including parenteral nutrition (PN), bowel rehabilitation and surgical procedures to reconstruct bowel have been used in these patients. Novel dietary approaches, pharmacotherapy and timely surgical interventions have all added to the improved outcome in these patients. However, these treatments only partially correct the underlying problem of reduced bowel function and have limited success resulting in 30% to 50% mortality rates. However, increasing experience and encouraging results of intestinal transplantation has added a new dimension to the management of SBS. Literature available on SBS is exhaustive but inconclusive. We conducted a review of scientific literature and electronic media with search terms 'short bowel syndrome, advances in SBS and SBS' and attempted to give a comprehensive account on this topic with emphasis on the recent advances in its management.

In this review, we have attempted to discuss all the relevant conditions affecting it, particularly the dysfunction with a detailed literature review.

The advantage of the lateral thyrotomy approach for submucous tumours of the larynx is discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of A Brief Review of Common Oral Premalignant Lesions with Emphasis on Their Management and Cancer Prevention

Though not all oral carcinomas are preceded by premalignant lesions as clinically visible morphological alterations occur secondary to the cellular or molecular changes, certain high risk lesions have been identified. Their management remains controversially polarized between surgical excision to prevent malignant change and conservative medical or surveillance techniques. Though oral cancer is one of the "major killers" of modern times, there seem to be no widely accepted criteria for decision making in clinical practice, the evidence base is scanty and uncertainty persists throughout investigation, diagnosis, and treatment. In this article, we have briefly discussed the common premalignant lesions, with an emphasis on their evidence based management and prevention.

Longe de uma procura das origens, busca-se comparar diferentes celebrações festivas na Amazônia com a finalidade de estabelecer aspectos comuns e peculiaridades existentes em tais manifestações. Para a abordagem do tema, considera-se dois conceitos importantes, cultura popular e patrimônio imaterial, que são apresentados de forma relacional. Para efeitos de delimitação do objeto de estudo, considera-se como "festas amazônicas" as práticas culturais de populações urbanas mestiças ou "caboclas", com suposta influência cultural indígena, de afro-descendentes e da colonização européia, registradas na literatura de época e vivenciadas hoje no âmbito da região, com destaque para as festas correspondentes ao Estado do Amazonas nas cidades de Manaus, Manacapuru, Itacoatiara e Parintins, bem como em Macapá, no Estado do Amapá.

We present a case of a 65-year-old female patient who presented with a left forearm swelling and underwent a wide local excision. Histopathology revealed it to be a PHAT.

We compared the gastric emptying of two types of preoperative metabolic preconditioning drinks [Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS) (Fresenius Kabi, Germany) and preOp Ò (Nutricia Clinical Care, UK)] in healthy volunteers.
