Endoscopy should be performed in the irst 24 hours in patients with suspected nonvariceal UGB, because it enables early discharge in the low-risk group, and in the high-risk group

Conclusions: Prophylaxis of venous thrombosis disease is not performed routinely in patients of medium and high risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, who underwent trauma

Posttraumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysms should be treated because spontaneous resolution is extremely unusual, and the risk of aneurysm rupture is high. We describe the case of

Patients with bilateral internal carotid artery agenesis are at high risk of development of aneurysms, particularly in the posterior communicating and basilar

The overall rate of transient or permanent neobladder emptying failure in males is high but most of the mechanical causes can be managed endoscopically, while the rate of patients

Just as with blunt splenic injuries, the presence of intravascular contrast extravasation (“a contrast blush”) on the arterial phase of a CT scan and the presence of a large

This study helps provide further evidence that the adult approach of non-operative management for high-grade blunt renal trauma can be applied safely in hemodynamically

1 The mortality rate among critically ill patients with acute re- nal failure in ICUs is very high, and hemodialysis is fre- quently used in such patients with the objective
