Evolvement of urology as a separate scientific discipline depends on several factors. Endoscopic diagnostics, radiological diagnostics, and operative techniques in general surgery, had provided an ability to perform more complex and longer operations. Urology had evolved from the great schools of surgery in Germany and France, and their the most important surgeons, who were intersted in urological surgery. The first endoscope was introduced in 1806, and received today?s form in 1879. Application of "X" rays in medicine started in 1895, and it was later applied as a cystography, retrograde pyelography as well as intravenous urography. The most important thing for the operative technique evolution were application of anhestesia, asepsis and new hemostatic devices. During the one century long development, urology had passed the way from completely unknown field, up to the discipline with the best diagnostic preciseness.

Resumen En el campo de la medicina las redes sociales han ganado poco a poco terreno y hoy en día juegan un rol importante en el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de conocimientos que se pueden trasmitir de inmediato y de forma masiva. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la experiencia colombiana en el uso de las redes sociales para crear aprendizaje quirúrgico significativo, con liderazgo y tutoría global. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo desde la creación de nuestras redes sociales en Twitter, 22 de febrero al 22 de agosto de 2019, evaluando las siguientes variables: número de tweets académicos, número de seguidores, impresiones, visitas y menciones. Desde la creación de nuestra red social Twitter @Cirbosque para realizar educación virtual quirúrgica a través de redes sociales con el fin de generar un aprendizaje significativo en nuestros seguidores, en solo seis meses del proyecto, seguimos a 62 cuentas, hemos realizado hasta la fecha 5.025 tweets académicos, con un crecimiento del 77,1% mensual, con 2.203 seguidores, con un crecimiento del 426 seguidores mensual, 1.090.000 impresiones, con un crecimiento del 56% mensual, 13.500 mil visitas, con un crecimiento del 28,9% mensual y 2.028 menciones, con un crecimiento del 88,3% mensual. Aunque la evidencia aún es insuficiente para garantizar que la educación que se hace a través de redes sociales y de @Cirbosque sea eficiente, el impacto que ha tenido esta iniciativa en Twitter es apreciada por muchos cirujanos a nivel mundial incluyendo a grandes maestros referentes en cada uno de los temas que se han tratado, de la misma forma, la cantidad de participantes en las diversas discusiones planteadas día a día y con un incremento en todos los indicadores de impacto según Twitter Analytics, se puede deducir que el mensaje educativo está teniendo un efecto positivo y está llegando a miles de personas a nivel mundial.

Abstract Introduction Streptococcal myositis is a rare form of infectious myositis caused by Lansfield A beta-haemolytic streptococci. It is characterised by rapidly spreading inflammation that can result in severe systemic toxicity and necrosis of the affected tissue if not diagnosed and aggressively treated. Presentation We report a case of a 42-year-old male who presented with a one-week history of worsening right axillary swelling that progressed to painful swelling of his arm. Inflammatory markers were significantly elevated with a white cell count of 17 ×109/L and C-reactive protein of 212 mg/L. On examination, a fluctuant axillary swelling was appreciated, and a decision was made for incision and drainage under general anaesthetic. Intraoperative aspiration of his arm revealed copious purulent fluid prompting intraoperative orthopaedic consult and exploration of the anterior compartment in which there was extensive involvement of the biceps muscle. The microbiological analysis revealed gram-positive cocci in chains, and microbiology advice sought for tailoring of antibiotic regimen. He has recovered well. Discussion Though uncommon, the emergency general surgeon should have a high degree of suspicion when evaluating soft tissue infections to avert potentially disastrous outcomes. Conclusion Early diagnosis, aggressive management with high-dose intravenous antibiotics, and surgical debridement are principles to treat this rare, life-threatening infection.
