Perioperative outcomes following a hip fracture surgery in elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with a mid-range ejection fraction.
To examine the influence of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) on perioperative cardiac and noncardiac outcomes following hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Our findings suggest that the presence of HFPEF and HFmrEF may predict perioperative adverse events and mortality in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Observational StudyBlood-aqueous barrier deterioration following retained metallic corneal foreign body: A laser flare photometric study.
This study aims to use laser flare photometry to evaluate flare changes in patients following corneal damage from a metallic foreign body (FB). ⋯ Flare is increased by corneal foreign body exposure. However, eyes that experience multiple previous corneal foreign body exposures may show relatively low flare, probably due to corneal desensitization.

Case ReportsSpontaneous direct inguinal hernia rupture and intestinal mesenteric separation: A case report.
Spontaneous evisceration is a rare complication that becomes life-threatening in direct inguinal hernia. A female at the age of 44, weighing 50 kg looked cachectic and was suffering from swelling on the left groin for the last several years. The evisceration of the small intestine as separated from the mesenterium transpired in the subsequent stage of a spontaneous rupture in the left inguinal region after severe coughing. ⋯ The spontaneous rupture may transpire depending on malnutrition and cachexia not only after the complications by hernia, such as incarceration, strangulation but also after factors increasing intra-abdominal pressure. Elective surgical treatment must be implemented in hernia regardless of its kind. Complications likely to transpire in cases where intervention is conducted too late may threaten the patient's life.

In intra-articular distal humeral fractures: Can combined medial-lateral approach gain better outcomes than olecranon osteotomy?
This research aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of intra-articular distal humeral fractures treated through a combined medial-lateral approach and comparing with olecranon osteotomy simultaneously. ⋯ The combined medial-lateral approach is successful approach in the treatment of intra-articular distal humeral fractures (especially type C1 and C2) that provides better outcomes for the motion of the elbow, bleeding volume in surgery and complications than olecranon osteotomy.

Comparison of the demographic and clinical features of pregnant and non-pregnant patients undergoing appendectomy.
This retrospective study aims to compare the demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of the pregnant and non-pregnant patients who underwent appendectomy with a presumed diagnosis of acute appendicitis. ⋯ Although not statistically significant, this study points out relatively lower rates of negative appendectomy and perforated acute appendicitis among pregnant patients, which is related to the overly attentive evaluation of pregnants admitted due to acute abdomen.
