Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that have tendency to precipitate in temperatures below 37 degrees C and dissolve with rewarming. Monoclonal cryoglobulins are usually associated with a distinct hematological disorder and often are asymptomatic. Heat insoluble cryoglobulin has been described with
OBJECTIVE
In this prospective study, we aimed to determine the coagulation parameters in the patients with Fournier's gangrene.
METHODS
The study group is consisted of 12 consecutive Fournier's gangrene patients (11 men and 1 woman) and control group is consisted of patients with periurethral
BACKGROUND
We evaluated low magnesium levels and three different scoring systems including the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), the Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (UFGSI), and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) for predicting mortality in a multicentric, large patient
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the reliability and limitations of a new radioisotope method using (99m)Tc-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid human serum albumin (Tc-99m-DTPA-HSA) and to evaluate the diagnostic ability of isotope infusion for assessing hemodynamic changes in the foot before and after
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate effective factors in the survival of patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG) and compare three different validated scoring systems for outcome prediction: Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (UFGSI) and
OBJECTIVE
To identify the prognostic variables and to assess the role of aggressive management in patients with Fournier's gangrene.
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
University hospital, Greece.
METHODS
11 patients (9 men and 2 women) with Fournier's gangrene admitted between April 1986 and
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this study were to identify the causative microorganisms and factors associated with survival in patients with Fournier's gangrene and to determine the accuracy of the Fournier's gangrene severity index.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated 27 patients with Fournier's
A 10-year-old boy presenting with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome developed Fournier gangrene of the scrotum. Antimicrobial drug therapy, intravenous albumin, excision of necrotic scrotum and left orchidectomy followed by skin grafting 3 weeks later led to an excellent cosmetic and medical
OBJECTIVE
To create new scoring system for prediction of hospital mortality for patients with Fournier's gangrene(FG).
METHODS
In total, 84 patients with FG were enrolled into this study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS
The mortality
Thirty-five insulin-requiring adult diabetic patients underwent 38 Syme's Two-Stage amputations for gangrene of the forefoot with nonreconstructible peripheral vascular insufficiency. All had a minimum Doppler ischemic index of 0.5, serum albumin of 3.0 gm/dl, and total lymphocyte count of 1500.
BACKGROUND
We investigated the value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as markers of mortality in patients with Fournier's gangrene.
METHODS
Records from 62 patients treated for Fournier's gangrene between 2003 and 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.
BACKGROUND
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) concomitant to surgery has been reported to reduce Fournier's gangrene (FG) mortality compared to exclusive surgical debridement. Most report from centers with relatively few patients using only surgical procedure. To assess efficiency of aggressive
Variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) are serious and life-threatening complications of advanced liver disease. Terlipressin is widely used to manage both acute variceal bleeding and HRS due to its potency and long duration of action. The most severe (though rare) adverse event is
OBJECTIVE
To describe the characteristics and prognostic factors of 28 patients with Fournier's Gangrene (FG) referred to our medical center at Southeastern Iran.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional study including 28 cases of FG that were operated in Surgery department of Zahedan University of
To determine whether any potentially reversible variables are related to the development of hand gangrene in diabetic patients on dialysis, the authors compared 15 patients with hand gangrene (group A) to three control groups of diabetics on dialysis: 20 patients with foot gangrene (group B); 31
