Intussusception is the invagination of a bowel segment into another immediately adjacent, causing obstruction, and the etiology can be benign, malignant, or idiopathic. The diagnosis may be obtained by ultrasound scans, or computed tomography imaging that can detect characteristics findings. Small bowel obstruction due to intussusception of inverted Meckel's diverticulum is a rare condition that usually constitutes a challenging diagnosis in adulthood. The surgical management in adults is often performed by en bloc resection without reduction attempts. We report a case of CASE REPORTS a middle-aged man with acute intestinal obstruction due to an ileo-ileal intussusception of inverted Meckel's diverticulum with a lipoma that was managed by laparoscopy. Worthy of note is the very scarce number of case reports on this exceeding uncommon association.
Objetivo: revisar a literatura sobre elementos-chave para a utilização correta dos anestésicos locais. Método: revisão narrativa de 41 trabalhos disponíveis na bases de dados Medline/PubMed, BIREME e publicações da Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia (SBA). Resultados: foram descritos os mecanismos de ação, a farmacocinética, a farmacodinâmica, as doses máximas, a técnica de diluição, as situações de alerta e as condutas frente à suspeita de intoxicação. Também foram descritas as particularidades de grupos como neonatos, gestantes e idosos. Conclusão: os resultados deste estudo compõe o acervo de conhecimento que tornam o profissional mais capacitado para o uso do anestésico local.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
