Methods of Blood Loss Quantification in Major Abdominal Surgery: A Narrative Review
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(4):133-137. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2024.7.ABSTRACTBlood loss in major abdominal surgery is an essential parameter in the evaluation of strategies aimed at reducing perioperative bleeding. It is also an important parameter of quality of the surgical procedure, along with postoperative morbidity and mortality, radicality of the surgical resection, etc. However, blood loss quantification remains unreliable and inaccurate. The methods used to measure blood loss can be categorized as visual estimation, gravimetric method, direct measurement, spectrophotometry, calculation methods, colorimet...

Current Diagnosis and Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Strategy for General Practitioners in Emergency Department
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(4):138-145. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2024.8.ABSTRACTPulmonary embolism (PE) is a disease with a relatively good prognosis when diagnosed and treated properly. This review aims to analyse available data and combine them into algorithms that physicians can use in the emergency department for quick decision-making in diagnosing and treating PE. The available data show that PE can be excluded through highly sensitive clinical decision rules, i.e. Pulmonary Embolism Rule-Out Criteria (PERC), Wells criteria, and Revised Geneva criteria, combined with D-dimer assessment. In cases where PE could...

The Evaluation of Training Oral and Maxillofacial Trainees in Head and Neck Cancer Doctor-Patient Communication Using the Patient Concerns Inventory
CONCLUSION: Although training improved surgeon-patient communication, further evaluation is required with a larger number of trainees and actual consultations in clinic.PMID:38588392 | DOI:10.14712/18059694.2024.9 (Source: Acta Medica: Hradec Kralove)

Self-reported Side Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(4):154-157. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2024.10.ABSTRACTSARS-CoV-2 vaccines are often promoted as safe. However, real world data tell a different story. The aim of this study is to investigate the type and frequency of adverse reactions to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a randomly selected cohort of unrelated individuals. Adverse reactions to the first/second dose of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine were recorded using an online reporting system called "Pabbly". Patients were asked via social media to report any symptoms temporarily associated with vaccination. One hundred subjects were enrolled. The mean a...

Commonly Misdiagnosed Facial Lesion: Pilomatricoma
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(4):158-160. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2024.11.ABSTRACTPilomatricoma, also known as Pilamatrixoma or Malherbe's calcifying epithelioma, is a benign skin tumour with a bimodal age distribution between the paediatric and elderly age groups. Although it was previously thought to be rare, recent studies have revealed that it is quite common. Typically, pilomatricoma is diagnosed following histopathological examination of the lesion as it is frequently misdiagnosed with other types of skin pathology. In our case, the child presented with painless swelling of the left infraauricular region. The ...

Tortuosity and Pulsatility of the Tibial Artery - Two Case Reports of a Rare Etiology of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(4):161-164. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2024.12.ABSTRACTTarsal tunnel syndrome is a neuropathic compression of the tibial nerve and its branches on the medial side of the ankle. It is a challenging diagnosis that constitutes symptoms arising from damage to the posterior tibial nerve or its branches as they proceed through the tarsal tunnel below the flexor retinaculum in the medial ankle, easily forgotten and underdiagnosed. Neural compression by vascular structures has been suggested as a possible etiology in some clinical conditions. Tibial artery tortuosity is not that rare, but only tha...
