    Multidetector CT of iatrogenic and self-inflicted vascular lesions and infections at the groin.
    Insights Imaging 2018 Apr 19. Epub 2018 Apr 19.
    Department of Radiology, "Magna Grecia" University, Viale Europa, 88100, Catanzaro, Italy.
    The number and complexity of endovascular procedures performed via either arterial or venous access are steadily increasing. Albeit associated with higher morbidity compared to the radial approach, the traditional common femoral artery remains the preferred access site in a variety of cardiac, aortic, oncologic and peripheral vascular procedures. Both transarterial and venous cannulation (for electrophysiology, intravenous laser ablation and central catheterisation) at the groin may result in potentially severe vascular access site complications (VASC).

    Unique Complications of Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy and Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy.
    Pain Physician 2018 Mar;21(2):E105-E112
    University of California Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA.
    Background: Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (PED) includes 2 main procedures: percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) and percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), both of which are minimally invasive surgical procedures that effectively deal with lumbar degenerative disorders. Because of the challenging learning curve for the surgeon and the individual characteristics of each patient, preventing and avoiding complications is difficult. The most common complications, such as nucleus pulposus omission, nerve root injury, dural tear, visceral injury, nerve root induced hyperalgesia or burning-like nerve root pain, postoperative dysesthesia, posterior neck pain, and surgical site infection, are difficult to avoid; however, more focus on these issues perioperatively may be in order.

    INDEXES OF CYTOKINE PROFILE OF BLOOD IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLICATED ERYSIPELAS.
    Georgian Med News 2018 Jan(274):13-18
    State Establishment "Lugansk State Medical University", Rubizhne, Lugansk region, Ukraine.
    The cytokine blood profile in patients with complicated erysipelas was investigated. It was found that in patients with complications of erysipelas (gangrene, phlegmon, abscess, thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous veins of the shin) levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 in serum significantly increase and level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 increases slightly, as well as was found a significant increase in coefficients reflecting the ratio of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which indicates the prevalence in the blood of examined patients with complications of erysipelas an anti-inflammatory properties. A more significant increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines serum levels is typical for patients with destructive forms of erysipelas - phlegmonous and gangrenous, a slight increase - for patients without purulent-necrotic component of complication (thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous veins of the shin).

    Fusobacterium emphysematous pyomyositis with necrotizing fasciitis of the leg presenting as compartment syndrome: a case report.
    J Med Case Rep 2017 Nov 28;11(1):332. Epub 2017 Nov 28.
    Department of Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, 60612, IL, USA.
    Background: Fusobacterium necrophorum is a common agent of disease in humans, but the occurrence of primary infections outside the head and neck area is extremely rare. While infection with Fusobacterium necrophorum has a rather benign course above the thorax, the organism is capable of producing very severe disease when located in unusual sites, including various forms of septic thrombophlebitis. No infections of the leg have been documented before; thus, antibiotic coverage for Fusobacterium is currently not recommended in this area. Read More
