    Abstract Abdominal cocoon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. The abdominal cocoon is probably a developmental abnormality, largely asymptomatic, and is found incidentally at laparotomy or autopsy. Pre-operative diagnosis cannot be often made correctly. This rare entity of intestinal obstruction has been described in the whole literature as a thick fibrotic sac covering the small bowel partially or completely. The etiology of abdominal cocoon is unknown and most often it is found in adolescent girls from tropical or subtropical countries. Complete recovery is generally expected after the removal of the membrane surgically. This paper reports a male patient who has had intestinal obstruction symptoms and has per-operatively been diagnosed as abdominal cocoon.

    Abstract As a tension-free repair technique, Lichtenstein operation has gained great popularity worldwide during the last decade. Expert centres do this technique using local anaesthesia in nearly 95 % of cases. However, general anaesthesia is used in many hospitals, while regional anaesthesia is preferred in some centres. To date, no study has compared different types of anesthesia in respect of inflammatory response and oxidative stress specifically. The objective of this prospective study was to compare local, spinal and general types of anesthesia regarding their effects on inflammatory response and oxidative stress in Lichtenstein hernia repair. Lichtenstein hernia repair causes only a mild oxidative stress. While total WBC and neutrophil count responses fade away after 24 hours in patients who are operated under local anaesthesia, these changes in spinal and general types of anaesthesia cases stay valid at 24th hour. Spinal anaesthesia is seen to be more advantageous than local and general types of anaesthesia when C-reactive protein as an acute phase marker is considered. Total antioxidant status shows minor alterations in three types of anaesthesia, however, general anaesthesia seems to be the least reliable among them. Overall, local and spinal anaesthesia methods can be accepted as better alternatives in comparison with general anaesthesia in regard to oxidative stress (Tab. 2, Ref. 25).

    Abstract Background: Obesity is associated with a higher risk of developing cancer and co-morbidities that are part of the metabolic syndrome. Adipose tissue is recognized as an endocrine organ, as it affects a number of physiological functions, and contains adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs). ASCs can differentiate into cells of multiple lineages, and as such are applicable to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Yet the question of whether ASC functionality is affected by the donor's body mass index (BMI) still exists.
    Results: ASCs were isolated from patients having different BMIs (BMI-ASCs), within the ranges of 18.5-32.8. It was hypothesized that overweight BMI-ASCs would be more compromised in early adipogenic and osteogenic potential, and ability to form colonies in vitro. BMI was inversely correlated with ASC proliferation and colony forming potential as assessed by CyQUANT proliferation assay (fluorescence- based measurement of cellular DNA content), and colony forming assays. BMI was positively correlated with early time point (day 7) but not later time point (day 15) intracytoplasmic lipid accumulation as assessed by Oil-Red-O staining. Alizarin red staining and RT-PCR for alkaline phosphatase demonstrated that elevated BMI resulted in compromised ASC mineralization of extracellular matrix and decreased alkaline phosphatase mRNA expression.
    Conclusions: These data demonstrate that elevated BMI resulted in reduced ASC proliferation, and potentially compromised osteogenic capacity in vitro; thus BMI is an important criterion to consider in selecting ASC donors for clinical applications.

    Abstract Background and aim: Umbilical hernia frequently accompanies cholelithiasis. It is possible to repair these hernias after completing cholecystectomy. We herein describe a simple modified technique for the repair.
    Patients and method: The technique was applied to 10 patients undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After cholecystectomy has been performed, periumbilical trocar incision is extended toward the umbilicus. The hernia sac is sent into the abdominal cavity and one or two simple sutures are put to approximate the fascial edges of the umbilical hernia. A similar approximation is done for trocar hole. A piece of polypropylene mesh covering both defects with an adequate overlap at four edges is fixed in onlay position.
    Results: No wound complications were recorded. After a median of 23 months (6-40 months) follow-up no recurrence was observed.
    Conclusion: This simple modified repair may especially be useful in centers where the surgeons can easily perform cholecystectomy laparoscopically, but are not familiar with laparoscopic hernia repair and mesh placement or haven't the equipment and material necessary for a laparoscopic repair.

    Abstract Objective: The study was designed to compare the early postoperative results of the commonly used two surgical flap procedures in pilonidal disease: Karydakis and Limberg.
    Method: One hundred patients were randomized into two groups and standard Limberg or Karydakis procedures were performed. All had primary sinus orifices. Infected cases and the ones with secondary orifices over 2 cm distant from primary were excluded. Data were recorded concerning complications, need for analgesia and wound dressing, periods of time off work and off driving. Patients were asked to classify their first defecation manner after the operation and also pain according to a Visual Analogue Scale with range of 1-10.
    Results: There was a significantly higher wound infection rate in the Karydakis group than in the Limberg group (13/50 and 4/50 respectively). This also resulted in significantly higher values for wound dressings and need for analgesia. The time off work and off driving and also the Visual Analogue Scale scores were not significantly different between the two groups.
    Conclusion: Both procedures can be safely performed in pilonidal disease with a standard length of stay in hospital and a similar loss of productive power. However, the Karydakis flap seems to have a significant higher infection rate and this probably increases the cost.

    Abstract A autora realizou a contagem de ovos por gr. de fezes em 129 amostras de fezes pelos métodos de Kato e de Stoll, incluindo 100 casos de parasitismo por Ascaris lumbricoides, 100 por Trichuris trichiura, 70 por ancilostomideos e 40 por S. mansoni. Os resultados foram avaliados estatisticamente, evidenciando-se idênticos com as duas técnicas no que se refere a Ascaris lumbricoides, T. trichiuris e S. mansoni, mostrando-se, no entanto, o método de Stoll mais adequado para a contagem de ovos de ancilostomideos. The author examined 129 specimens of faeces using the techniques of Kato and Stoll. 100 cases of Ascaris lumbricoides infection, 100 of Trichocephalus trichiurus, 70 of hookworm infection and 40 of Schistosoma mansoni were detected. The number of eggs eliminated per gram of faeces was determined using the two methods. The results were statistically analysed using the comparative tests for the two methods at a significance levei of 0,05. The results showed that, for counting eggs, the two techniques presented equal results for A lumbricoides, T. trichiurus and Schistosoma mansoni, but the Stoll technique was more sensitive for hookworms

    Abstract A partir de 1980, as mortes violentas vêm se destacando como segunda principal causa de óbito no Brasil, tornando-se um importante problema de saúde pública. Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a evolução e a distribuição espacial das mortes violentas no espaço urbano de Salvador, uma cidade do Nordeste do Brasil, nos anos de 1988, 1991 e 1994. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, cujos dados de mortalidade foram obtidos das Declarações de Óbito e dos arquivos do Instituto Médico Legal. Observou-se um aumento de 34,6% no número de mortes violentas entre os anos de 1988 e 1994. As maiores taxas de mortalidade ocorreram no sexo masculino nas faixas etárias de 20-29 (192,0 a 262,0/100.000) anos e de 65 anos ou mais (188,7 a 258,1/100.000). Os homicídios destacaram-se como primeira causa de morte em cerca de 75% dos distritos sanitários. Os autores discutem a necessidade de políticas públicas integradas e um conhecimento interdisciplinar para explicar as causas e enfrentar o problema da violência. Since 1980, external causes (ICD-9 E800-E999) have been ranked as the second leading causal group for mortality in Brazil, thus becoming a major public health problem. This study aimed to describe spatial distribution trends for violent deaths in the urban setting of Salvador, a city in Northeast Brazil, for the years 1988, 1991, and 1994. An ecological study was conducted, and mortality data were obtained from death certificates and the archives of the Institute for Forensic Medicine. There was an increase of 34.6% in the number of deaths from external causes between 1988 and 1994. The highest mortality rates were among men from 20 to 29 years of age (from 192.0 to 262.0/100,000) and those 65 years and over (from 188.7 to 258.1/100,000). Homicides were the leading cause of violent deaths in about 75.0% of neighborhoods. The authors discuss the need for comprehensive public policies and an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the causes and deal with the problem of violence.
