- Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone tissue that results from an infection. Bacteria can reach the bone through the bloodstream. Predisposed individuals include immunocompromised patients, such as diabetics and HIV patients. Older age and trauma are common risk factors for osteomyelitis. We report a case of osteomyelitis where a male in his early seventies came to the Emergency Department with a right swollen finger without having any history of trauma or infection. With the patient's history, we could not find anything to explain the presenting symptoms' cause. While performing the physical exam, we noticed the patient had a colostomy bag and went in-depth on this topic. He says he cleans his colostomy bag daily with his right hand. After evaluating the patient, surgery was performed with an incision and drainage. Diagnosis was made via MRI images and wound culture results, which showed early developing osteomyelitis and anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. These bacteria are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract. While discussing this case with infectious disease, we could not rule out that the cause of this patient's infection could be because of improper hygiene protocols while changing his colostomy bag. With this case report, we aim to raise awareness of the importance of having proper hygiene when cleaning colostomy bags, as this can alter our skin barrier and organisms can enter and establish bone infections., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2023, Munoz-Soto et al.)

Objective: Evaluate epidemiological profile and quality of life (QF) of patients with intestinal ostomy. Methodology: Transversal and quantitative research, from january to may 2021, compound by ostomized patients older than 50 years attended at the Centro de Atenção à Saúde de Sergipe in Aracaju/SE. A sociodemographic questionnaire was applied, including ostomy data and life quality evaluation tool (Stoma-QoL-Brazilian variant), about physical, psychological, enviromental, social and sexual relationships domains. The Shapiro-Wilk and Mann-Whitney test was used (p≤0.05). Results: 100 patients were evaluated, 54 males, 70% older than 50 years, married, brown skin, avareage income R$2573,00 and schooling between 1st to 4th grade. 93% were colostomized and 53% in permanent condition, mostly because of colorectal cancer treatment. It was identified that 58% do not see themselves as sexually attractive and 45% get anxious about bag filling. Patients who denied feeling negative symptons after stoma have better QF in comparison to who felt, 20% reported psychological support and 75% of those have had improvement in their QF. Having family and friends support are good predictors related to better QF. Conclusion: It was not observed difference between the gender, most of them were married, with low income and low schooling. Definitive colostomy by colorectal cancer predominated. In general, patients presented good life quality, agreeing with their self-perspective, despite of sexual dissatisfaction and mechanical issues regarding the colostomy bag. Specialized treatment, psychological support and participation in groups improve the coping related to this condition and contributes with knowledge about self-caring, reducing negative impacts in QF. Objetivo: Evaluar perfil epidemiológico, calidad de vida (CV) de pacientes con ostomía intestinal. Metodología: Estudio transversal y cuantitativo, de enero a mayo de 2021, con pacientes ostomizados mayores de 18 años, atendidos en el Centro Sanitario de Sergipe. Se aplicó un cuestionario sociodemográfico, datos de ostomía y evaluación de la CV (Stoma –QoL - variante brasileña), en los dominios físico, psicológico, ambiental, social y de relaciones sexuales. Se utilizaron las pruebas de Shapiro-Wilk y Mann-Whitney (p≤0.05). Resultados: Se evaluaron 100 pacientes, 54% hombres, 70% mayores de 50 años, casados, de color castaño, ingreso promedio de 2573,00 reales, desde el 1º al 4º grado de la escuela primaria. De estos el 93% fueron colostomías y el 53% fueron definitivas, la principal causa fue el cáncer colorrectal. Se identificó que el 58% no se siente sexualmente atractivo y el 45% se siente ansioso cuando la bolsa está llena. Los pacientes que dijeron no sentir síntomas negativos después de la ostomía tuvieron una mejor calidad de vida en relación a los otros que sintieron los síntomas, el 20% refirió seguimiento psicológico y de estos el 75% tuvo una mejoría en su calidad de vida. Tener el apoyo de familiares y amigos es un buen indicador de una mejor calidad de vida. Conclusión: No hubo diferencia entre los sexos de los pacientes ostomizados, la mayoría casados, con bajos ingresos y educación. Predominó la colostomía definitiva por cáncer colorrectal. En general, tuvieron una buena calidad de vida, consistente con su autopercepción, insatisfacción con la sexualidad y problemas mecánicos del estoma. La atención especializada, el seguimiento psicológico y la participación en grupos con la misma condición mejora el afrontamiento y ayuda en el conocimiento del cuidado, reduciendo los impactos negativos que se generan en la CV. Objetivo: Avaliar perfil epidemiológico, qualidade de vida (QV) de pacientes com estomia intestinal. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e quantitativo, de janeiro à maio de 2021, com estomizados maiores de 18 anos, atendidos no Centro de Atenção à Saúde de Sergipe. Aplicou-se questionário sociodemográfico, dados sobre a estomia e avaliação da QV (Stoma–QoL – variante brasileira), sobre os domínios físico, psicológico, ambiental, relações sociais e sexuais. Utilizou-se testes Shapiro-Wilk e Mann- Whitney (p≤0,05). Resultados: Avaliou-se 100 pacientes, 54% masculino, 70% maior de 50 anos, casados, cor parda, renda média de 2573,00 reais, da 1ª à 4ª série do ensino fundamental. Destes 93% eram colostomizados e 53% de caráter definitivo, a principal causa foi câncer colorretal. Identificou-se que 58% não se sentem sexualmente atraentes e 45% se sentem ansiosos quando a bolsa enche. Os pacientes que afirmaram não sentir sintomas negativos após a estomia têm melhor QV em relação ao demais que sentiram os sintomas, 20% relatam acompanhamento psicológico e desses 75% tiveram melhora na QV. Ter apoio familiar e de amigos são bons preditores para melhor QV. Conclusão: Não houve diferença entre os sexos dos estomizados, a maioria maior de 50 anos, casados, com baixa renda e escolaridade. Predominou a colostomia de caráter definitivo pelo câncer colorretal. No geral, apresentaram boa QV, condizendo com sua autopercepção, com insatisfação na sexualidade, e questões mecânicas do estoma. O atendimento especializado, acompanhamento psicológico e participação em grupos com a mesma condição, melhora o enfrentamento e auxilia no conhecimento dos cuidados, reduzindo os impactos negativos causados na QV.

Short-chain carboxylic acids (SCCAs) produced by gut microbial fermentation may reflect gastrointestinal health. Their concentrations in serum and urine are indicative of specific metabolic pathway activity; therefore, accurate quantitation of SCCAs in different biofluids is desirable. However, it is often challenging to quantitate SCCAs since matrix effects, induced by the presence of a vast variety of other compounds other than SCCAs in complex biofluids, can suppress or enhance signals. Materials used for sample preparation may introduce further analytical challenges. This study reports for the first time a LC-MS/MS-based method to quantitate ten SCCAs (lactate, acetate, 2-hydroxybutyrate, propionate, isobutyrate, butyrate, 2-methylbutyrate, isovalerate, valerate and hexanoate) and evaluates the matrix effects in five human biofluids: serum, urine, stool, and contents from the duodenum and intestinal stoma bags. The optimized method, using 3-Nitrophenylhydrazone as a derivatization agent and a Charge Surface Hybrid reverse phase column, showed clear separation for all SCCAs at a concentration range of 0.1−100 µM, in a 10.5 min run without carry-over effects. The validation of the method showed a good linearity (R2 > 0.99), repeatability (CV ≤ 15%) assessed by intra- and inter-day monitoring. The lowest limit of detection (LLOD) was 25 nM and lowest limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 50 nM for nine SCCA except acetate at 0.5 and 1 µM, respectively. Quantitative accuracy in all biofluids for most compounds was < ±15%. In summary, this methodology has the advantages over other techniques for its simple and fast sample preparation and a high level of selectivity, repeatability and robustness for SCCA quantification. It also reduced interferences from the matrix or sample containers, making it ideal for use in high-throughput analyses of biofluid samples from large-scale studies. [Display omitted] • Improved LC-MS/MS-based quantitation of short-chain carboxylic acids. • Comprehensively evaluated matrix effects of human biofluids and intestinal content. • Optimized for high-throughput analyses of human biofluids from large-scale studies.

- Abstract
Despite recent advances in the medical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), approximately 25-40% of patients will need surgery during their disease. The aim of elective surgical treatment of UC is to remove the colon/and rectum with minimal postoperative morbidity, and to offer a good long-term quality of life. There are several technical options for the surgical treatment of UC; at present, the most frequently offered is restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Both the surgeon and patient should be aware of the risks associated with a technically demanding procedure and possible postoperative complications, including the possibility of infertility, permanent stoma, or several surgical procedures for pouch-related complications. A precise knowledge of each surgical technique, and its indications, complications, long-term risks and benefits is useful to offer the best surgical option tailored to each patient. We searched in PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE for all kinds of articles (all the publications until April 2012). Papers on Crohn's disease, indeterminate colitis, or other forms of colitis were excluded from the review. We reviewed the abstracts and identified potentially relevant articles. MeSH words were used as search, "ulcerative colitis", "surgery", "indications", "elective surgery", "colectomy," "proctocolectomy," "laparoscopy", "Complications," "outcome", "results" "quality of life". One hundred and four articles were included in this review.Copyright © 2012 AEC. Published by Elsevier Espana. All rights reserved.
