ABSTRACT Carboplatin is a platinum chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in veterinary oncology that is currently classified as an irritant to local tissues when extravasated. To the authors’ knowledge, there are no reports of vesicant injuries associated with carboplatin administration reported in the veterinary literature. In this case series, seven dogs are described to have experienced injuries following a suspected carboplatin extravasation resembling vesicant injuries a median of 7 days after carboplatin administration (range 4–15 days). Wounds healed with a variety of treatments, including medical management and/or surgical debridement, a median of 25.5 days (range 7–49 days) after observation of the suspected extravasation injury. There were no obvious similarities involving carboplatin administration among patients to explain why these reactions occurred. Extravasation injury should be considered a possible local complication associated with carboplatin chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the pattern of primary small bowel cancers in a tertiary East-European hospital. Methods A retrospective study of patients with small bowel cancers admitted to a tertiary emergency center, over the past 15 years. Results There were 57 patients with small bowel cancer, representing 0.039% of admissions and 0.059% of laparotomies. There were 37 (64.9%) men, mean age of 58 years; and 72 years for females. Out of 57 patients, 48 (84.2%) were admitted due to an emergency situation: obstruction in 21 (38.9%), perforation in 17 (31.5%), upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 8 (14.8%), and lower gastrointestinal bleeding in 2 (3.7%). There were 10 (17.5%) duodenal tumors, 21 (36.8%) jejunal tumors and 26 (45.6%) ileal tumors. The most frequent neoplasms were gastrointestinal stromal tumor in 24 patients (42.1%), adenocarcinoma in 19 (33.3%), lymphoma in 8 (14%), and carcinoids in 2 (3.5%). The prevalence of duodenal adenocarcinoma was 14.55 times greater than that of the small bowel, and the prevalence of duodenal stromal tumors was 1.818 time greater than that of the small bowel. Obstruction was the complication in adenocarcinoma in 57.9% of cases, and perforation was the major local complication (47.8%) in stromal tumors. Conclusion Primary small bowel cancers are usually diagnosed at advanced stages, and revealed by a local complication of the tumor. Their surgical management in emergency setting is associated to significant morbidity and mortality rates.

Odontogenic phlegmon of the mouth floor—Ludwig's angina (phlegmonae fundi cavi oris seu angina Ludovici)—is a rare, life-threatening, local complication in most cases of odontogenic inflammation. This study presents the case of a patient treated in the Department of Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgery of the University Hospital in Białystok due to phlegmon of the mouth floor resulting from odontogenic inflammation with a dynamic course. Quick diagnostics, surgical intervention as well as antibiotic therapy contributed to its efficient and successful treatment.

Aim of study: - To assess the utility of each as prognostic indicator in Severe Acute Pancreatitis. Material and Methods: This prospective study entitled “To assess the utility of each as prognostic indicator in Severe Acute Pancreatitis” was carried out on patients hospitalized for acute pancreatitis in the surgery department at Chandulal Chandrakar Memorial Medical College and CM Hospital, Bhilai from March 2015 to October 2017.50 patients with the diagnosis of first attack of acute pancreatitis of both sexes and all age groups were selected for the study. Conclusion:- On the basis of observation and result of the study, it can be safely stated that APACHE II Scoring is quick, safe, reproducible, ongoing and cost effective. It can be done by resident or intelligent nursing staff. Give an idea regarding improving or worsening of patients. APACHE II Scoring system when complimented by high quality CECT abdomen can further refine the results and give an idea of likelihood of patients developing local complication. Thus it can also be used along with CECT abdomen for Risk Stratification of subset of patients who are likely to develop local complication who might need surgical intervention. CECT on 3rd day adds nothing to management. It has a tendency to over predict the regional complication, which are in anyway apart of natural course of history of disease (acute fluid collection). Management decision could not be based on CECT abdomen on 3rd day alone, since it is not needed to make a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis it should be abundant, thus reducing the financial burden of patients and institute. CECT abdomen done after 2nd week in the course of illness along with APACHE II Score and clinical finding are better guide for management and surgical intervention.

This review highlights advances made in recent years in the diagnosis and management of acute pancreatitis (AP). We focus on epidemiological, clinical, and management aspects of AP. Additionally, we discuss the role of using risk stratification tools to guide clinical decision making. The majority of patients suffer from mild AP, and only a subset develop moderately severe AP, defined as a pancreatic local complication, or severe AP, defined as persistent organ failure. In mild AP, management typically involves diagnostic evaluation and supportive care resulting usually in a short hospital length of stay (LOS). In severe AP, a multidisciplinary approach is warranted to minimize morbidity and mortality over the course of a protracted hospital LOS. Based on evidence from guideline recommendations, we discuss five treatment interventions, including intravenous fluid resuscitation, feeding, prophylactic antibiotics, probiotics, and timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in acute biliary pancreatitis. This review also highlights the importance of preventive interventions to reduce hospital readmission or prevent pancreatitis, including alcohol and smoking cessation, same-admission cholecystectomy for acute biliary pancreatitis, and chemoprevention and fluid administration for post-ERCP pancreatitis. Our review aims to consolidate guideline recommendations and high-quality studies published in recent years to guide the management of AP and highlight areas in need of research.
