Guidelines on the diagnosis, treatment and management of visceral and renal arteries aneurysms: a joint assessment by the Italian Societies of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (SICVE) and Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM)

: The objective of these Guidelines is to provide recommendations for the classification, indication, treatment and management of patients suffering from aneurysmal pathology of the visceral and renal arteries. The methodology applied was the GRADE-SIGN version, and followed the instructions of the AGREE quality of reporting checklist. Clinical questions, structured according to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) model, were formulated, and systematic literature reviews were carried out according to them. Selected articles were evaluated through specific methodological checklists. Considered Judgments were compiled for each clinical question in which the characteristics of the body of available evidence were evaluated in order to establish recommendations. Overall, 79 clinical practice recommendations were proposed. Indications for treatment and therapeutic options were discussed for each arterial district, as well as follow-up and medical management, in both candidate patients for conservative therapy and patients who underwent treatment. The recommendations provided by these guidelines simplify and improve decision-making processes and diagnostic-therapeutic pathways of patients with visceral and renal arteries aneurysms. Their widespread use is recommended

Management Model Based on Lean Warehousing & Lean Logistic to Increase the Level of Service in SMEs in a Hardware Store

In recent years, the trading industry in Peru has experienced a remarkable growth. However, they face several problems such as varying demand, delays in order delivery and having to offer high quality products quickly at low cost. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 95% of companies, so it is necessary to implement productivity tools. In the study, the proposed model is to improve the level of service, first we will collect data through value stream map, Pareto diagram and problem tree, then we will implement the proposed methodologies and at the end we will reevaluate the indicators. Inventory processes were also simulated to reduce waste and costs

Conservative treatment of subtalar dislocations.

Forty-five patients who presented between 1983 and 1998 with acute closed dislocation of the subtalar joint were selected for this study. There were 37 medial and eight lateral dislocations. The mean follow-up was 7.5 years (range: 2-17 years). The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Hindfoot Score (AOFAS) at follow-up was 84. Subtalar fusion was required in one patient with persistent severe hind-foot instability. There was no significant difference in the AOFAS score between medial and lateral subtalar dislocations. We conclude that pure subtalar dislocation produced by low energy trauma, promptly reduced and immobilised for 4 weeks has a favourable long-term outcome

Lower limb malperfusion in type B aortic dissection: a systematic review

BACKGROUND: Lower limb malperfusion (LLM) syndrome occurs in up to 40% of complicated type B aortic dissections (TBAD) and in up to 71% of TBAD with malperfusion syndrome. This syndrome is associated with higher 30-day mortality. The aim of this systematic review was to provide clinical and procedural data of patients with LLM syndrome secondary to TBAD. METHODS: The PubMed database was systematically searched from January 2000 to June 2014 for English-language publications reporting on demographic data of patients with LLM secondary to TBAD. RESULTS: A total of 29 papers were included (10 original articles and 19 case reports), reporting on a total of 138 patients (mean age =58\ub112 years; male =87%). Lower limb complications developed in acute and chronic TBAD in 134 (97%) and 4 (3%) cases, respectively. LLM presented with acute limb ischemia in 120 (87%) patients. Bilateral clinical presentation occurred in 56% (40/72) of cases. LLM was the only clinically detected malperfusion in 52% of cases (44/84). In 40% (35/84) and 25% (21/84) of cases, LLM was clinically associated with renal and visceral malperfusion, respectively. Radiological imaging showed renal, celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery involvement in 53% (47/88), 31% (27/88) and 34% (30/88) of cases, respectively. Medical, surgical and endovascular treatments were performed in 22 (16%), 51 (37%) and 65 (47%) patients, respectively. Thirty-day morbidity was 31% (13/42) and 46% (6/13) following surgical and endovascular treatment, respectively. Thirty-day mortality was 14% (5/36) and 8% (2/26) following surgical and endovascular treatment, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: LLM syndrome secondary to TBAD usually developed during the acute phase and, in most cases, presented with acute limb ischemia. Bilateral clinical presentation occurred in more than half of cases. Renal and visceral malperfusion were frequently associated with lower limb flow reduction but LLM was the only clinically detected malperfusion in more than half of patients. Surgical fenestration was burdened with significant complication rates and 30-day mortality. Endovascular procedures showed lower mortality but complication rates remained high

Arthroscopic Iliac Crest Bone Allograft Combined With Subscapularis Upper-Third Tenodesis Shows a Low Recurrence Rate in the Treatment of Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability Associated With Critical Bone Loss

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic glenoid bone allograft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis for anterior shoulder instability associated with clinically relevant bone loss and hyperlaxity. Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2017, patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability associated with bone loss and hyperlaxity were selected and treated with arthroscopic iliac crest bone graft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis. The selection criteria were as follows: more than 5 dislocations; positive apprehension, anterior drawer, and Coudane-Walch test results; glenoid bone defect between 15% and 30% and humeral bone defect with an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion; and no previous shoulder surgery. All patients were followed up with the Constant score, University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) rating, Rowe score, and visual analog scale evaluation. Assessments were performed with plain radiographs and a PICO computed tomography scan before surgery and at 2 years of follow-up. Results: Nineteen patients were included in the study, with a mean follow-up duration of 34.6 months (range, 24-48 months). In 17 patients (89%), excellent clinical results were recorded according to the Rowe score. The Constant score improved from 82.9 (standard deviation [SD], 5.2) to 88.9 (SD, 4.3) (P = .002); Rowe score, from 25.3 (SD, 5.3) to 89.1 (SD, 21.8) (P < .001); UCLA score, from 23.7 (SD, 3) to 31.5 (SD, 4.8) (P < .001); and visual analog scale score, from 3.2 to 1.3 (P < .001). Patients met the minimal clinically important difference 94.7%, 89.5%, and 47.3% of the time for the Rowe score, UCLA score, and Constant score, respectively. Bone graft resorption was observed in all patients: partial in 9 and complete in 10. We recorded 2 recurrent traumatic dislocations (11%), with no case of persistent anterior apprehension or other complication. Conclusions: An arthroscopic glenoid bone graft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis may be a valid surgical option to treat recurrent anterior instability associated with both bone loss and hyperlaxity. Level of evidence: Level IV, case series

Impact of brood parasitism by shiny cowbirds (<i>Molothrus bonariensis</i>) on the reproductive success of their hosts

Se presenta una revisión del impacto que produce el parasitismo de cría del Tordo Renegrido (<i>Molothrus bonariensis</i>) sobre el éxito reproductivo de sus hospedadores. Se analizó el efecto del parasitismo sobre la supervivencia de los nidos y sobre la supervivencia de huevos, el éxito de eclosión y la supervivencia de pichones en nidos exitosos. También se analizaron el efecto de la intensidad de parasitismo y del comportamiento de picadura de huevos en nidos no parasitados. El principal impacto del parasitismo sobre el éxito reproductivo de los hospedadores estudiados fue producido por la picadura de huevos. Este comportamiento también redujo el éxito reproductivo del hospedador en nidos no parasitados. El parasitismo redujo el éxito de eclosión y la supervivencia de los pichones solo en hospedadores mucho más pequeños que el parásito. En estos, el parasitismo también aumentó la frecuencia de abandono de nidos, generalmente como consecuencia de la destrucción de la mayoría de los huevos del hospedador. El costo producido por la picadura de huevos aumentó con la intensidad de parasitismo. Considerando que la intensidad y la frecuencia de parasitismo están estrechamente asociadas, esta última sería un buen indicador del impacto que el parasitismo de <i>Molothrus bonariensis</i> podría producir sobre el éxito reproductivo de sus hospedadores. Se mencionan algunos aspectos de la biología del parásito y de sus hospedadores que es necesario estudiar con mayor detalle para poder estimar el impacto que produce el parasitismo sobre la viabilidad de las poblaciones de los hospedadores.We present a review of the impact of brood parasitism by Shiny Cowbirds (<i>Molothrus bonariensis</i>) on the reproductive success of their hosts. We analysed the effect of parasitism on nest survival and on egg survival, hatching success and chick survival in successful nests. We also analysed the effect of the intensity of parasitism and egg pecking behaviour in unparasitized nests. Egg pecking produced the main impact of parasitism on host?s reproductive success. This behaviour also reduced host?s reproductive success in unparasitized nests. Parasitism decreased hatching success and chick survival only in hosts much smaller than the parasite. In these hosts, parasitism also increased the frequency of nest abandonment, generally as a result of the destruction of the majority of host?s eggs. The cost produced by egg pecking increased with intensity of parasitism. Considering that intensity and frequency of parasitism are tightly associated, the latter would be a good predictor of the impact that Shiny Cowbird?s parasitism might produce on the reproductive success of their hosts. We mention some aspects of the biology of the parasite and their hosts that we need to study in more detail to estimate the impact that brood parasitism produces on the viability of hosts populations
