Abstract

Background: Inflammation and oxidative activities within the gut play major roles in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to determine the effect of Melissa officinalis, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, on the colon histological characteristics in acetic acid (AA)-induced UC in rat models. Methods: Thirty-six male rats with AA-induced colitis were divided into 5 groups: no treatment (AA); daily treatment with 300 mg/kg Melissa officinalis orally (MO) and rectally (MR); and 100 mg/kg mesalamine orally (AO) and rectally (AR). Macroscopic and histopathological evaluation of the colon, along with a biochemical laboratory evaluation, were performed 10 days after UC induction. Results: All treatment groups demonstrated lower macroscopic grading scores compared to the AA group. After treatment with MO, 42.9% of cases demonstrated no macroscopic changes, while 14.3% demonstrated only mucosal erythema. In the MR group 28.6% of rats had no changes in their mucosal lining and 28.6% had only mucosal erythema. Following histopathological evaluation, the AO group had lower scores regarding the severity of ulcer, inflammation, destruction, crypt abscess, and disorganization compared to the MO group. (P=0.02) The MR group demonstrated lower microscopic scores compared to the MO group, and also lower macroscopic scores compared to the AR group, although not significantly (P>0.05). Conclusions: Both oral and topical administration of Melissa officinalis have satisfactory healing properties compared to mesalamine, with topical route having better Results:. Therefore, further studies are needed to establish the benefit of Melissa officinalis administration (both orally and topically) within a UC treatment protocol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background Oxidative activity and inflammatory responses have been shown to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Colostrum is a natural product with antiinflammatory and antioxidative properties. Methods UC was induced in 37 Sprague Dawley rats by administration of a 2 mL enema of 3% acetic acid (AA). The control groups received no treatment during the study, while the experimental groups received either oral or rectal administration of 100 mg/kg 5-aminosalicylic acid, or oral or rectal administration of 300 mg/kg of colostrum. Histopathological and serological analyses were performed 7 days following treatment. Results A significant decrease in weight was seen in all rats except for the test groups receiving colostrum (P<0.001). After treatment, the level of superoxide dismutase increased more significantly in the test groups that received colostrum (P<0.05). All test groups had a reduction in C-reactive protein and white blood cell levels. The colostrum test groups also showed a decrease in inflammation rate, ulceration, destruction, disorganization, and crypt abscess of the colonic mucosa. Conclusions The findings of this study show that the administration of colostrum can improve the pathological changes of the intestinal mucosa, as well as inflammatory responses, in animal models of UC. Further studies at both preclinical and clinical levels are suggested to confirm these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Tube thoracostomy has been known to be a common and invasive, however not innocuous, procedure which is often life-saving. Though, numerous complications have been reported during executing this procedure. In this report, we describe a 27-year-old woman, case of multiple trauma due to car collision that was transferred to our service due to severe right side chest tube air leak and subcutaneous emphysema in which after proper evaluation, it was revealed that the chest tube crossed through the right pleural cavity and penetrated the bronchus intermedius. A literature search failed to identify a similar case. The misplacement was confirmed by fiber optic bronchoscopy and after surgical and intensive care management of the patient, she was discharged with an uneventful post-op course. This case noticeably determines that bearing in mind the extreme risks and the careful checks of the tube location are required, particularly in trauma patients, even in the absence of anatomical abnormalities.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the COVID-19 vaccination acceptance rate and its determinants among healthcare workers in a multicenter study. This was a cross-sectional multi-center survey conducted from February 5 to April 29, 2021. The questionnaire consisted of 26 items in 6 subscales. The English version of the questionnaire was translated into seven languages and distributed through Google Forms using snowball sampling; a colleague in each country was responsible for the forward and backward translation, and also the distribution of the questionnaire. A forward stepwise logistic regression was utilized to explore the variables and questionnaire factors tied to the intention to COVID-19 vaccination. 4630 participants from 91 countries completed the questionnaire. According to the United Nations Development Program 2020, 43.6 % of participants were from low Human Development Index (HDI) regions, 48.3 % high and very high, and 8.1 % from medium. The overall vaccination hesitancy rate was 37 %. Three out of six factors of the questionnaire were significantly related to intention to the vaccination.

Abstract

Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal vascular lesions, which can be managed effectively and safely with surgical or endovascular approaches. Here, we discuss a case of scalp AVM malformation in a 25-year-old female, in which due to the proximity of the feeder artery to right orbit, surgical excision was preferred and the AVM was excised with an uneventful post-op course.

Abstract

A 38-year-old woman known case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical esophagus due to increasing dyspnea and stridor attributed to the pressure effect of the primary mass was scheduled for tracheostomy, which ended up in the right main bronchus. This rare complication occurred using a tracheostomy tube number 7.5 via a vertical tracheotomy over 4th and 5th tracheal rings. The misplacement was confirmed by chest X-ray and fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and the tracheostomy tube was successfully repositioned in a nonoperative approach.
