Objective: To improve the diagnosis and treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia by using available methods of early diagnosis and modern methods of treatment. Summary Background Data: The number of patients with disorders of the mesenteric circulation is increasing all over the world. In comparison with the occlusion of the coronary, cerebral arteries and peripheral veins, acute obstruction of the mesenteric arteries and veins is diagnosed much later, which causes a high mortality rate from 53 to 100%. Methods: In this study the experience of treatment of 162 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia was analyzed. All patients underwent treatment in Institute of Urgent and Recovery Surgery (IURS NAMS, Donetsk, Ukraine) from 2002 to 2017. Results: From 162 patients: 112 patients were with acute occlusive and 50 patients with acute nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia. The intravital diagnosis was not confirmed in 26 patients (16 %). 119 of patients died, the level of mortality was 73, 5%. 104 patients were operated, 32 patients were discharged (30,8 %), 72 patients died, a mortality rate was 69,2 %. Operations with restore of blood flow were performed in 14 patients, 5 patients died, 9 patients left the hospital. Conservative therapy was performed in 22 patients, in 11 patients with good results (50 %). Conclusions: The early diagnosis of this pathology is crucial and it can reduce the high mortality rate of patients with AMI. Treatment of OAMI should be carried out in a community of general, vascular and endovascular surgeons. Restoration of blood flow through mesenteric vessels with the help of endovascular technology and implementation of thrombembolectomy during open surgical intervention in a number of cases allows to avoid intestinal resection.

Abstract Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a vulnerable subgroup of cardiac patients. These patients have a high morbidity and high mortality rate. As the number of patients with CHD keeps growing, while also getting older, new tools for the care and follow-up of these vulnerable patients are warranted. eHealth has an enormous potential to revolutionize health care, and particularly for CHD patients, by expanding care beyond hospital walls and even moving some of the provided care to the comfort of home. As new eHealth tools continue to grow in number, such as invasive eHealth tools, health care delivered through eHealth continues to evolve. This teaching series summarizes current insights and discusses challenges yet to be overcome. Importantly, none of them are insurmountable. This all lays ground for a promising future for eHealth in the care of patients with CHD.

Introduction: Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis (DNM) is the fatal form of mediastinitis and mostly develops as a complication of peritonsillar abscesses or dental- odontogenic infections. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical and surgical feature of the patients with DNM who were managed in our Department during the period of general lockdown in Greece, between March 2020 and June 2020, because of the Covid19. Patients and Methods: During the period of general lockdown in Greece, 4 patients, mean age 46, 25 years (range 39-59), with DNM treated to our Department of General Thoracic Surgery. Primary odontogenic abscess occurred to 2 patients and peritonsillar abscess to other 2 of them. Diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography (CT) of the neck and chest. All patients underwent surgical drainage of abscesses of the involved cervical region and mediastinum by lateral cervicotomy and left thoracotomy in three of them and cervicotomy, and bilateral thoracotomy in one patient. Results: The delay between the occurrence of thoracic symptoms and mediastinal drainage varied from 1 to 3 days. The side of the thoracotomy depended on the involved mediastinal compartments and side of pleural effusion. The duration of mediastinal drainage varied from 12 to 20 days (mean: 17 days). One patient died of multiorgan failure related to post-op septic shock. Conclusion: Between January 2000 and January 2020, 21 patients with DNM were treated at our Department, whilst during the four - month of lockdown, four patients were treated. We concluded that the patients delay for dentistry recourse because of covid-19, result in the increased number of patients with DNM in the above period. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate drainage are the main causes of the high mortality rate of DNM. If one realistically hopes to avoid the high mortality rate, aggressive surgical drainage and debridement of the neck and drainage of the mediastinum via a posterolateral thoracotomy by a multidisciplinary team of surgeons is a must.

Parasitic Burden

An unusually high mortality rate due to verminous (Philometra rubra) coelomitis was documented in wild-hatched striped bass Morone saxatilis raised in a fish hatchery as part of a stock restoration program. To decrease the parasitic burden and therefore potentially minimize mortality, the effectiveness of 2 different anthelmintics was evaluated. Two trials were conducted on wild-collected fingerlings naturally infected by P. rubra. In 2006, 144 yearling fish were randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups: (1) levamisole (Levasol®) at 2 mg l-1 via immersion for 8 h once weekly for 3 wk; (2) levamisole at a dose of 2.5 mg kg-1 biomass via feed once daily for 7 d; (3) emamectin benzoate (Slice®) at a dose of 0.05 mg kg-1 biomass via feed once daily for 7 d; and (4) control. Emamectin successfully eliminated live nematodes in 84.9% of the fish, whereas the administration of levamisole, either via immersion or feed, was not successful in significantly reducing the number of live P. rubra. In 2007, the administration of the same dosage of emamectin to approximately 1000 naturally infected yearling striped bass was associated with a 100% mortality rate of P. rubra in the 30 fish randomly examined 5 wk after the beginning of the treatment. Results of these trials indicate that, at the dosage used, the administration of emamectin at the end of the summer is safe for striped bass yearlings and considerably reduces the prevalence and intensity of the infection by this parasite.

Tamangapa village, Ma’rang district is part of the community development program conducted by Universitas Muslim Indonesia in Pangkajene Kepulauan regency. The local shrimp farmers of Tamangapa village have been facing major issue due to expensive artificial feed and high mortality rate. In order to solve the needs of feed and high mortality rate for farmed fish or shrimp, the source of the natural ingredients using kopasanda leaves Chromolaena odorata L is required. The use of a natural ingredient is also used to prevent the vibriosis using simple technology such as the utilization of local raw materials which is affordable and locally available. The present community service aimed to provide the proper knowledge and skills to members of the fish/shrimp farmer’s group through counseling, training and mentoring. This community service program encouraged the local farmers to be able to utilize the local raw materials as a source of shrimp feed, use the feed pellet machine, and packaging leading to independent feed production. The participatory training method, lectures, forum group discussions, and practices of making shrimp feed and packaging were applied. The Implementation of the Community Partnership Program of Shrimp and Fish Cultivation Groups is independently able to produce organic fish or shrimp feed for farmer’s group leading to higher productivity of aquaculture.

Serious Infection

Fungal endocarditis, specifically from Candida species, is a rare but serious infection with a high mortality rate. Most cases occur in bioprosthetic or mechanical valves and are uncommon in native, structurally normal valves. When Candida endocarditis is detected and appropriate treatment is initiated earlier, there is an improvement in mortality. While the recommendation is usually to treat with a combination of surgery and antifungal medications, patient comorbidities may limit treatment options.

Acute pancreatitis is one of the most frequent and formidable diseases, and rates as one of the most common disease in the structure of acute surgical pathology of the abdominal organs. In the last decade, there has been an increase in the proportion of necrotic forms of the disease with damage to various departments of the retroperitoneal space and a stably high mortality rate. The diagnostics problem of acute pancreatitis is still relevant due to difficulties that persist despite the possibility of a comprehensive examination of patients upon admission to the hospital and during treatment. This article presents a review of the literature, reflecting the state of the problem and aspects of diagnostic radiology of acute pancreatitis.
