Intraorbital foreign bodies: Clinical features and outcomes of surgical removal.
The present study is an evaluation of clinical features and management outcomes of patients operated on for intraorbital foreign bodies (FBs). ⋯ Intraorbital FBs are usually inorganic and metallic, and occur more frequently in young males. Orbital cellulitis, considered typical for organic FBs, may also occur with metallic that perforate lacrimal sac or paranasal sinuses. With appropriate caution, intraorbital FBs can be removed safely with current orbitotomy techniques.

Case ReportsA rare disease mimics postoperative bile leakage: Invasive aspergillosis.
Aspergillus fungi can cause serious infections, including intra-abdominal infection, particularly in patients with compromised immune system. Described in the present report is case of 46-year-old female patient who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) at another healthcare facility. In early postoperative period, she had increasing complaints of swelling, nausea, and vomiting. ⋯ Surgery was performed with suspected possibility of bile leakage. However, pathological examination of soft, yellow-green mass found in subhepatic space determined it was fungus ball caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Patient was diagnosed postoperative intra-abdominal aspergillosis (IAA).

Pulmonary microvascular dysfunction and pathological changes induced by blast injury in a rabbit model.
Vascular leakage has been proven to play a critical role in the incidence and development of explosive pulmonary barotrauma. Quantitatively investigated in the present study was the severity of vascular leakage in a gradient blast injury series, as well as ultrastructural evidence relating to pulmonary vascular leakage. ⋯ Primary blast wave can result in pulmonary capillary blood leakage. Blast wave can cause swelling of pulmonary capillary endothelial cells and widened gap between endothelial cells, which may be responsible for pulmonary vascular leakage.
