Research on garlic capsule and selenium-vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C applied in therapy of acute hepatocellular damage in a rat model
Conclusions Collectively, the results suggest that therapeutic dose of lisinopril elicits toxicity in male rats through induction of oxidative damage and depletion of cellular adenosine triphosphate. The reversal effects of GAR and SACE during lisinopril treatment suggest that these antioxidants may find clinical application in cellular damage involving ROS and adenosine triphosphate.

Research on garlic capsule and selenium – Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E applied in therapy of acute hepatocellular damage in a rat model
Conclusion Collectively, the results suggest that therapeutic dose of LIS elicits toxicity in male rats through induction of oxidative damage and depletion of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The reversal effects of GAR and SACE during LIS treatment suggest that these antioxidants may find clinical application in cellular damage involving reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ATP.

Acute Mallory–Weiss syndrome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation by health care providers in the emergency department
Publication date: Available online 29 July 2015 Source:Journal of Acute Disease Author(s): Dae Hee Kim, Dong Yoon Rhee, Seon Hee Woo, Woon Jeong Lee, Seung Hwan Seol, Won Jung Jeong A report of a 62-year-old female patient with severe Mallory–Weiss syndrome after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by health care providers in the emergency department is presented. The bleeding continued for five days, and the patient's total blood loss was estimated to be approximately 3000 mL. After 7 days, the patient died due to respiratory distress syndrome.

A case of acute spinal intradural hematoma due to spinal anesthesia
Publication date: Available online 29 July 2015 Source:Journal of Acute Disease Author(s): Josué M. Avecillas-Chasín, Jordi A. Matias-Guiu, Gustavo Gomez, Javier Saceda-Gutierrez Spinal intradural hematoma is a rare complication of diagnostic lumbar puncture or spinal anesthesia. This complication could be overlooked with devastating neurological consequences due to a delay in diagnosis. Here, we reported a case of a patient with a lumbar spinal intradural hematoma as a result of a difficult spinal anesthesia. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)

Trauma pattern in a level I east-European trauma center
Conclusions Our trauma pattern profile is similar to the one found in west-European countries, with a predominance of traffic-related injuries and falls. The severity and anatomical puzzle for trauma lesions were more complex secondary to motorcycle or bicycle-to-auto vehicles collisions. A trauma registry, with prospective enrollment of patients, is a very effective tool for constant improvements in trauma care. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)
