For the statistical analysis independent sample Student t-test was used.Results: For 22 patients included in this sample the giant intracerebral tuberculoma was of size more than 2.5cm. The majority of the giant tuberculomas (19 patients (86.4%))was located in the supratentorial area.T2-weighted hypointense core of giant tuberculoma was observed in 12 patients (54.5%) and T1 hyperintensities were observed in peripheral (wall) of the giant tuberculoma in 14 patients (63.6%). The mean ADC value of the peripheral (wall) of the giant tuberculoma was 1.034± 0.466[SD] x 10-3mm2/s and the core was 0.994± 0.455[SD] x 10-3mm2/s with a statistically significant difference (p-value <0.0005) in between. MR spectroscopy showed raised lipid peak at 0.9 to 1.33 ppm in 10 patients (45.5%),raised lipid-lactate peak in 12 patients (54.5%),raised Choline/Cr ratio more than 1.2 in 14 patients(63.6%) and Choline/Cr ratio less than 1.2 in 5 patients (22.7%). Associated involvement of lung was observed in the 6patients (27.3%), cervical lymph node in 1 patient (4.5%) and spine in 1patient (4.5%).Conclusions: MRI plays a vital role in distinguishing giant intracerebral tuberculomas from other intracranial space-occupying lesions, thereby allows the early institution of anti-tubercular treatment (ATT), decreased patient morbidity, mortality, and prevents unnecessary neurosurgical excision.","PeriodicalId":34365,"journal":{"name":"Acta Medica Lituanica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44264977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But there are patients with worsening postoperative renal function (RF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after PN. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate and detect risk factors for CKD after PN.Materials and Methods. A prospective observational study was conducted, which consisted of 91 individuals who received PN with warm ischemia and an estimated preoperative glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 ml/min/1.72m2 without pathologic albuminuria. Preoperative and intraoperative factors like intraoperative hypotension (IOH), blood loss, and resected part volume were analyzed.Results. At 6-month follow-up, 14 (15.4 %) patients experienced postoperative CKD. After 12 months of follow-up, 15 (16.5 %) patients had CKD. Patients with CKD had a lower preoperative eGFR than non-CKD group (69.0 vs 91.0 ml/min/1.72m2, p < 0.001), longer ischemia (20.0 vs 14.0, p = 0.002) and IOH time (40.0 (40.0; 47.5) vs 0.0 (0.0; 26.2) min, p < 0.001). Also, higher volumes of resected kidney part tumor and removed parenchyma with higher glomerulosclerosis amounts (73.3 % vs 14.5 %, p = 0.009) were found in CKD group. Estimated blood loss > 500 ml during PN was discovered to be the major risk factor for CKD development (OR 11.13, 95 % CI 1.88–65.92, p = 0.008). Furthermore, kidney resected part volume (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.05-1.10, p = 0.033) and IOH time (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19, p = 0.005) were identified as risk factors for postoperative CKD. Conclusions. Patients after PN are at an increased risk of CKD development. Most commonly, postoperative CKD occurs in the first 6 months after PN and appears stable after 12 months of follow-up. Blood loss > 500 ml during PN, IOH and resected kidney volume can have an impact on postoperative RF and increase the risk of CKD.","PeriodicalId":34365,"journal":{"name":"Acta Medica Lituanica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49097868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this date, transfusion therapy still represents the pivotal treatment to counterbalance the reduction in hemoglobin levels which occur after surgery. Although effective, transfusions are expensive and inevitably associated with a number of complications and therefore other solutions, such as procoagulative drugs, could play an important role to prevent massive blood losses.Material and methods: We reviewed the clinical intercourse of 37 patients who underwent major bone resection due to malignant tumors of the lower limb. Cases were divided in two different groups: group G1 consisting of 12 patients treated intraoperatively with tranexamic acid and group G2 which was made of 25 controls.Results: On average, patients treated with tranexamic acid (G1) required transfusion of 3.9 concentrated blood cells units during surgery and 0.9 units during the postoperative course. Other patients (G2), for their part, required on average 3.1 units intraoperatively and 2.1 units postoperatively. No significant difference was found in intraoperative transfusion rate (p=0.402). Instead, postoperative transfusions were significantly less frequent for patients treated with tranexamic acid (p=0.023). None of the 12 patients treated with tranexamic acid had evidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis.Conclusion: Our outcomes indicate that the use of TXA was effective in reducing blood losses also for major surgical interventions in orthopedic oncology.","PeriodicalId":34365,"journal":{"name":"Acta Medica Lituanica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41768397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
