Contralateral necrotizing fascitis after left nephrectomy for emphysematous pyelonephritis. [PDF]

IJU Case Rep, 2022
Introduction Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma. The management is variable, extending to total nephrectomy in severe or refractory cases. Post‐nephrectomy complications are numerous and common, necrotizing fasciitis, and sepsis being among them.

Efficacy of Prone Positioning in Non-ARDS Patients With Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Clin Respir J
This meta‐analysis demonstrates that prone positioning (PP) significantly improves oxygenation and reduces the need for intubation in non‐intubated patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) unrelated to ARDS. No significant mortality difference was observed between PP and standard care groups.

Clinical outcomes of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation vs standard negative pressure wound therapy for wounds: A meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

International Wound Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1739-1749, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with or without instillation has been extensively applied for patients with multiple wound types. Whether NPWT with instillation is superior to NPWT alone is not known. This study aims to compare the efficacy between negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) and standard negative pressure ...

Current Approaches for Personalized Therapy of Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Sarcoma, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a highly heterogeneous group of cancers of mesenchymal origin with diverse morphologies and clinical behaviors. While surgical resection is the standard treatment for primary STS, advanced and metastatic STS patients are not eligible for surgery.

Recurrent soft tissue inflammation, necrotizing fascitis or Sweet syndrome, diagnostic dilemma

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 2483-2487, December 2019., 2019
Necrotizing Sweet syndrome is a recently described entity that can pose significant challenges for management. Although necrotizing fasciitis can be rapidly fatal in the absence of prompt surgical management, necrotizing Sweet syndrome may actually be worsened by any surgical intervention.

[Retracted] A Rare Case of Chronic Appendicitis Superimposed on an Incarcerated de Garengeot Hernia Prospectively Identified on Computed Tomography

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The de Garengeot hernia is an uncommon and potentially confounding pathologic process in which the appendix is contained within a femoral hernia. While typically a benign incidental finding, superimposed acute appendicitis is a rare but serious complication.

Suction assisted pulse lavage: randomised controlled studies comparing its efficacy with conventional dressings in healing of chronic wounds

International Wound Journal, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 55-63, February 2014., 2014
Chronic, open, non‐healing wounds pose a continual challenge in medicine as the treatment is variable and there are no documented consistent responses. Although wound aetiologies vary and there are a number of factors that affect chronic wound pathogenesis, wound ischaemia and bacterial colonisation of wounds are the chief concerns among them ...

[Retracted] Necrotizing Fasciitis: Diagnostic Challenges and Current Practices

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Necrotizing fasciitis or necrotizing soft‐tissue infections (NSTIs) are infrequent but highly lethal infections. They can be defined as infections of any of the layers within the soft tissue compartment (dermis, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia, deep fascia, or muscle) that are associated with necrotizing changes. At onset, necrotizing fasciitis

Definitions of the physical properties of pressure ulcers and characterisation of their regional variance

International Wound Journal, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 606-611, October 2013., 2013
A pressure ulcer is a localised injury of the skin and underlying tissue that usually develops over a bony prominence. A decrease in the pressure over the bony prominence effectively prevents pressure ulcers; however, no studies have systematically assessed the physical properties of existing pressure ulcers.
