“…The results of our study confirm the results of other authors in the literature who observed that after the laparoscopic approach of the inguinal hernia, the incidence of postoperative pain as well as the need for analgesic medication is lower compared to instances where surgical treatment of hernia was practiced using a classic approach [6,7].…”

The incidence of postoperative pain in patients operated for inguinal hernia can reach up to 40% of cases, depending on different authors, and depending on the approach used in the surgical treatment of these patients. Currently, there are two commonly accepted ways of surgical treatment of inguinal hernias, the classic approach with polypropylene mesh (Liechtenstein technique) and the laparoscopic approach. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis on the need for analgesic medication in patients treated for inguinal hernia either by classic (group A) or by laparoscopic (group B) approach. Surgical meshes were used in all patients enrolled in our trial. The average age of the patients included in this study was 53.79 years, ranging from 20 to 88 years. Regarding the distribution of cases by gender, we observed in the studied lots that 12 cases were women (11.53%) and 92 cases were males (88.46%). In female patients, the classic inguinal hernia approach was performed in 3 cases (25% of cases), and in 9 cases the laparoscopic approach was performed in the surgical treatment of the inguinal hernia (75% of the cases). In male patients, laparoscopic approach was performed in 33 cases (35.86% of cases), and in 59 cases the surgical approach was performed in a classical manner using the Liechtenstein technique (64.13% of the cases). From the statistical analysis of the data we noticed a statistically significant difference in the need for analgesic medication administered to these patients (p = 0.0001). Although surgical correction of inguinal hernia, both classic and laparoscopic approaches, provide adequate treatment for these patients, in case of the laparoscopic technique, immediately after the operation, the need for analgesic medication is lower compared to the classical technique.

“…The results showed a benefit of reduced hemodynamic decompensation in some patients, but at the cost of an increased rate of major and intracranial bleeding events, that overweighed the total benefit. These findings were confirmed in other subsequent meta-analyses [9][10][11][12] and they raise the question that, if improved risk classification criteria for these patients could identify which of them are at higher risk, then the risk-benefit ratio could improve in favor of the more aggressive therapies.…”

We performed a prospective, observational study on consecutive non-high-risk patients with APE in order to assess the prognostic value of laboratory markers, including the novel heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), for predicting a composite end point of 30-day mortality or hemodynamic collapse. A total of 61 patients were included and H-FABP was significantly higher in the composite end-point group (9.303 vs. 4.761, p=0.046) and proved to identify more accurately patients at increased risk. Keywords: Pulmonary embolism, heart type fatty acid binding protein, risk assessment

“…But these symptoms were transient in all cases. A plausible explanation for these symptoms is that in most cases this is the first time in these students' lives that they come in contact with the body of a deceased person and become aware of the consequences of death, which leads to anxiety [15,16]. In our study 70.55% of the respondents had their first contact with the body of a deceased person during the anatomy course.…”

The classical method of teaching human anatomy to students is based on the dissection of human cadavers. Nowadays, there are many ethical controversy regarding the use of human cadavers during anatomy courses. In our study we tried to get undergraduate students� opinion about some different techniques of teaching human anatomy, including the utility of plastic models. We introduced in this study 163 students in the first year of their study at the Faculty of General Medicine from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tirgu Mures. The respondents were asked to fill in a 12-item anonymous questionnaire. Based on the answers provided in the questionnaires we divided the 163 respondents into 2 groups: group A comprising 113 (69.32%) respondents who found that the best method of teaching anatomy is cadaver dissection and group B comprising 50 (30.67%) respondents who found that the best method of teaching is not cadaver dissection. Thus, 20 (12.26%) respondents considered that the best method of teaching anatomy is the use of previously dissected and preserved preparations, 4 (2.45%) indicated the use of plastic models as the best method, 24 (14.72%) would prefer 3D techniques of image reconstruction and 2 (1.22%) respondents found that the best method of teaching anatomy is by Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentations. Even though there are still controversial opinions regarding the use of cadaver dissection in teaching and learning human anatomy, especially ethical and psychological ones, cadaver dissection remains the best method of teaching anatomy to undergraduate students in medical schools.
