Quick Response Code Abstract: Brain abscess has been considered a rare infection; it is characterized by a collection of pus in the brain parenchyma. Different studies talk about the management and medical treatment with antibiotic regimens (at the beginning of therapy, the antibiotic is chosen empirically), among the most used are vancomycin, thirdgeneration cephalosporins, clindamycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, aztreonam, metronidazole, fluoroquinolone, and fluconazole when it is a fungal-type infection, and linezolid has shown promising results. Surgical management depends on the size, location, and characteristics of the brain abscess; it is suggested in the literature for small brain abscess do the aspiration and eradicates the purulent material, and in a big abscess (> 2.5cm) performs craniotomy and resection. A decrease in the degree of mortality related to brain abscess has been reported. That is why this study is presented, carried out over three years (2018 -2021) showing the results obtained, as well as the frequency of patients with brain abscess treated in the service of neurosurgery, of the Regional Hospital “Lic. Adolfo López Mateos”, in Mexico City. A series of cases is presented showing the evaluation and diagnosis protocol used in Neurosurgery and the clinical-epidemiological characteristics that the patients gave.

A total of 1256 respondents were selected for the study. At last January 2016 to march 2021 their socio-economic condition, demographic characteristics, opinion and level about surgical site infection were mainly investigated. The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that is not normally present within the body. Infection may cause no symptoms and be subclinical, or it may cause symptoms and be clinically apparent.

Quick Response Code Abstract: Among patients with symptoms suggestive of a Urinary tract infection (UTI) which includes dysuria and frequency, the diagnosis can be confirmed by sending a cleancatch specimen for culture and for urinalysis. One suggested exception recommended by most experts is a symptomatic young woman with pyuria detected by urinalysis dipstick who has apparently uncomplicated cystitis. It has been proposed that the findings are sufficiently diagnostic that an empiric course and usually three days of antimicrobial therapy can be initiated without performing a urine culture. Children who are toilet trained can provide clean voided urine samples. Clean voided bag urine samples are acceptable for urinalysis in infants and children between two months and two years of age who have unexplained fever and do not appear ill enough to require immediate antimicrobial therapy. If the sample suggests infection, then a catheterized urine specimen should be obtained for confirmatory testing and urine culture. Suprapubic aspiration and transurethral bladder catheterization are invasive but are the only valid ways to collect urine for culture in febrile young infants under two months of age and older infants and children with unexplained fever who are younger than two years of age and ill enough to merit immediate antimicrobial therapy. The use of portable ultrasound to visualize the bladder increases the success rate for both suprapubic aspiration and transurethral bladder catheterization. In this review article, we will cover urine sampling, procedure, culture, and dipstick as a tool of UTI analysis in both adults and children.

Quick Response Code Abstract: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It has been associated with auto-immune disorders. Although many similarities exist between the pathogenesis of CD and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), their association has been rarely reported. We describe a case of a 23year-old woman diagnosed with CD, and one year later developed SLE.

Quick Response Code Abstract: Traumatic head injuries are a prominent cause of death. The privilege of intracranial hemorrhage is one of the fatal problems. CT-scan is considered the gold standard for the traumatic brain injuries diagnosis. GCS of the patients is helpful in patient evaluation. Patient with high GCS are neglected but it may be considered that they can develop significant problems. However, it is controversial whether to perform CT-scan in patients that have 13-15 GCS or not. Purpose: I hereby to evaluate the patients of head trauma with high GCS 10-15 on CT-scan that may be neglected but they may develop symptoms. My aim of study was to determine whether it is safe to discharge such patients or performing CT scan is safe. Besides this, I mainly found the frequency of different types of ICH in 50 patients that have 10-15 GCS. Approach: 50 patients of head trauma injuries were evaluated on computed tomography. All the patients had undergone non-contrast computed tomography scan of brain with the axial images and slice thickness of 5mm from foramen magnum to vertex. A Performa was filled for patient’s name, age, gender and other findings. Any statistical variables were correct by putting some exclusion criteria i.e. bleeding disorder and anti-coagulant therapy so that it might not influence the desired conclusions. Results: Out of 50 patients 22 (44.00%) patients had intracranial hemorrhage. Out of these 22 patients 9 (40.91%) had EDH, 9 (40.91%) had subdural, 2 (9.09%) had SAH and 2 (9.09%) had ICrH. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the frequency of ICH is 44% and the incidence of SDH and EDH is equally higher than other types. Patients with RTA have higher risk of ICH and it is more in females than in males. Data analysis for different variables was done by using Microsoft excel 365. Graphs and charts were used to explain the results.
