TOXINOLOGICAL PROFILE AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS INDUCED BY Bothrocophias campbelli VENOM FROM COLOMBIA
Acta Trop. 2023 Dec 13:107094. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107094. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSnakebite envenomings most frequently reported in Colombia are caused by snakes of the genera Bothrops, Bothriechis, Bothrocophias, and Porthidium. Their venoms induce local and systemic pathophysiological effects, sometimes leading to permanent sequelae such as reduced mobility of the limbs, amputations, besides the risk of death. The genus Bothrocophias includes nine species, among which B. campbelli has a distribution restricted to the department of Nariño in Colombia. In this work we determined the toxinological profil...

Types A and F < em > Clostridium perfringens < /em > in healthcare wastewater from Ghana
Appl Environ Microbiol. 2023 Dec 5:e0161923. doi: 10.1128/aem.01619-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClostridium perfringens causes gas gangrene and food poisoning in humans, and monitoring this bacterium is important for public health. Although whole-genome sequencing is useful to comprehensively understand the virulence, resistome, and global genetic relatedness of bacteria, limited genomic data from environmental sources and developing countries hamper our understanding of the richness of the intrinsic genomic diversity of this pathogen. Here, we successfully accumulated the genetic data on C. perfringens strains isola...

Transcatheter Arterialization Provides Safe and Effective Treatment for No-option CLI
Clinical question: Is transcatheter arterialization of lower extremity deep veins safe and effective in preventing above-ankle amputation in patients with advanced chronic limb ischemia (CLI) who are otherwise not candidates for arterial revascularization?
Ms.Sanford
Background: About 20% of patients with CLI are not candidates for arterial revascularization (“no-option”) due to insufficient distal arterial target vessels, and have low amputation-free survival (42%). Transcatheter arterialization of deep veins involves percutaneous creation of an arteriovenous fistula using a stent to connect the tibial artery to an ...

Minor amputation after revascularization in chronic limb-threatening ischemia: What is the optimal timing?
CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of patients who underwent a successful revascularization for CLTI and a minor amputation for dry gangrene in the first 14 days after revascularization, a higher -although not significant-risk of re-amputation was reported. In this cohort of patients, a delayed demolitive procedure should be considered to allow better tissue perfusion and to reduce the risk of re-amputation.PMID:37946368 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231214819 (Source: Vascular)

J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 2023 Sep-Oct;113(5):22-240. doi: 10.7547/22-240.ABSTRACTDigital gangrene is frequently encountered in patients who have diabetes with peripheral vascular compromise, with or without superimposed infection. Preoperative laboratory values and radiographic images are important to determine a proper course of action. Equally important is a thorough history taking to confirm or rule out systemic entities and preexisting conditions that can aggravate or predispose one to the development of digital gangrene.
