Comparative Study[Coronary artery bypass grafting in diabetic patients: early and mid-term outcomes].
The outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in diabetic patients has traditionally been worse than in nondiabetic patients. Recent studies have suggested an improvement in outcome in diabetic patients undergoing CABG. However, the direct impact of diabetes on mortality and morbidities following CABG remains unclear. ⋯ These results suggest that diabetes is associated with poorer early and mid-term outcomes following (CABG).

[Correlation between vital signs and hemoperitoneum in ruptured ectopic pregnancy].
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a medical-surgical emergency. Rupture of an ectopic pregnancy is a serious complication and may develop severe life-threatening to the patient. ⋯ Normal vital signs alone are poor predictors of ruptured ectopic pregnancy and do not correlate well with volumes of hemoperitonieum.

[Fournier's gangrene : what are the prognostic factors? Our experience with 40 patients].
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a serious, extensive fulminant infection of the genitals and perineum. Indeed, despite antibiotics and aggressive debridement, the mortality rate of FG remains high. ⋯ FG is a rapidly progressive, fulminant infection's condition. Hematocrit and serum sodium levels were found to be the only prognostic factors. It doesn't seem that the FGSIS has a prognostic value.
