[Complications of appendicitis and appendectomies. Apropos of 106 cases]
Abstract:
Analysis of 106 case-reports of patients developing complications after appendicectomy provided data on factors predisposing to these sequelae (general condition, initial appendicitis) and their severity (26 deaths equivalent to 24,5 p. cent). Complications were exclusively medical in 22 patients (12 deaths), or surgical in 48 cases (no deaths), and were multiple and/or mixed surgical sequelae in 36 patients (14 deaths). The severity of these medical and surgical complications is emphasized and their appropriate treatment proposed. Statistical analysis of findings in patients with several complications enabled definition of risk factors: peritonitis, septic shock, renal or respiratory insufficiency, age over 50 years, and previous history of disease. Analysis of these risk factors, whether multiple or associated with other complications, can be used for numerical rating of prognosis in these patients.

Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
