Objective: To determine the role of Rigid Bronchoscopy in Management of Tracheobronchial Foreign Body Aspiration. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in otolaryngology department, Khyber teaching hospital, Peshawar of one year duration from January 2018 to December 2019. Total 90 Patients of age 4 months to 14 years on clinical suspicion of foreign body bronchus were included, while patients with history of bronchial asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis and radio opaque foreign body bronchus were excluded. Results: Total number of patients was 90 in which male patients were 60 (66.67 %) and female patients were 30 (33.33 %), patients with foreign body bronchus were 80 (88.89%). Male patients with foreign body bronchus was 53 (58.89%) and female 27 (30.00%). In age range from 4 months to 3 years, 35(39%) Patients underwent bronchoscopy in which foreign body bronchus retrieved in 30(37.5%) patients. Conclusion: Patients with history of repeated chest infection, relieved by medicines for some time should not be over look, as vegetative foreign body bronchus are radiolucent and patients usually present late in respiratory compromised state, the clinician must urge, for prompt treatment as rigid bronchoscopy.

A one-year-old male entire Bracco Italiano weighing 29.4 kg presented with a pyothorax secondary to a thoracic foreign body. During the procedure the patient became hypotensive, which stabilised after intervention. After closing the thoracic cavity, negative pressure could not be obtained through the thoracic drain. An oxygen fuel cell was used to quickly and non-invasively determine that a lung laceration was the source of the pneumothorax. The declining physiological condition of the patient during anaesthesia led to the decision to attach a one-way valve to the chest drain, and for recovery to position the dog in lateral recumbency with the affected lung on the dependent side. The recovery was uneventful.

Abstract Introduction Because of the ongoing discussion of imageless navigation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), its advantages and disadvantages were evaluated in a large patient cohort. Methods This retrospective analysis included 2464 patients who had undergone TKA at a high-volume university arthroplasty center between 2012 and 2017. Navigated and conventional TKA were compared regarding postoperative mechanical axis, surgery duration, complication rates, one-year postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (WOMAC and EQ-5D indices), and responder rates as defined by the criteria of the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology and Osteoarthritis Research Society International consensus (OMERACT-OARSI). Results Both navigated (1.8 ± 1.6°) and conventional TKA (2.1 ± 1.6°, p = 0.002) enabled the exact reconstruction of mechanical axis. Surgery duration was six minutes longer for navigated TKA than for conventional TKA (p < 0.001). Complication rates were low in both groups with comparable frequencies: neurological deficits (p = 0.39), joint infection (p = 0.42 and thromboembolic events (p = 0.03). Periprosthetic fractures occurred more frequently during conventional TKA (p = 0.001). One-year PROMs showed excellent improvement in both groups. The WOMAC index was statistically higher for navigated TKA than for conventional TKA (74.7 ± 19.0 vs. 71.7 ± 20.7, p = 0.014), but the increase was not clinically relevant. Both groups had a similarly high EQ-5D index (0.23 ± 0.24 vs. 0.26 ± 0.25, p = 0.11) and responder rate (86.5% [256/296] vs. 85.9% [981/1142], p = 0.92). Conclusion Both methods enable accurate postoperative leg alignment with low complication rates and equally successful PROMs and responder rates one year postoperatively. Level of evidence III. Retrospective cohort study.

AbstractA 12 year old male Fox Terrier (case 1) and a one year old female Poodle (case 2) were presented with a history of dysorexia and vomiting, and case 2 also with distress associated with eating. Both dogs were diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on clinical signs, blood analysis and ultrasonography which revealed the presence of a vegetable foreign body in the proximity of the pancreatic right lobe. Laparatomy enabled the gramineae awns to be removed which led to full resolution of clinical signs. We believe that these are the first reported cases of acute pancreatitis due to grass awns.

Objectives Recent French data describing real-life compression stocking use are lacking. This study aimed to describe the actual situation for patients who were prescribed compression stockings by their general practitioner and to assess annual treatment costs from a societal perspective. Methods A retrospective analysis using Disease Analyzer database data from 6349 adults with at least one compression stocking prescription between July 2009 and June 2010. Results Mean patient age was 58 years, and 72.3% of patients were women. Seven out of 10 patients received only a single compression stocking prescription over one year. The estimated mean annual per patient cost was 152.2 ± 100.7 Euros. Conclusion Most patients received only a single compression stocking prescription during one year. General practitioners prescribing compression stockings more often may have a better understanding of venous disease and may manage their patients differently. Although more expensive, this approach may be one which should be accepted more widely.
