RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Although external penetrating laryngeal trauma is rare in the clinic, such cases often result in a high mortality rate. The early recognition of injury, protection of the airway, one-stage laryngeal reconstruction with miniplates and interdisciplinary cooperation are important in the treatment of such patients. CASE SUMMARY: A 58-year-old male worker sustained a penetrating injury in the left neck. After computed tomography scanning at a local hospital, he was transferred to our hospital, where he underwent tracheotomy, neck exploration, extraction of the foreign object, debridement and repair of the thyroid cartilage using titanium miniplates. An endo laryngeal stent was inserted, which was removed 12 days later. The patient recovered well and his voice rapidly improved after surgery. CONCLUSION: Penetrating laryngeal trauma is uncommon. We successfully treated a patient with early laryngeal reconstruction and management by interdisciplinary cooperation.
RESUMO
[Summary] Clinical studies have confirmed that metabolic surgery is an effective method for the treatment of diabetes ,which can significantly relieve symptoms of type 2 diabetes ,improve various complications and reduce cardiovascular events. Currently ,major limitations of this technique in clinical practice in China include the lack of understanding on surgical benefits ,difficulty in selection of surgery indications and division‐based treatment modalities. Thus ,we should explore a cooperation model of multi‐discipline teams ,understand the mechanisms of type 2 diabetes remission by metabolic surgery and develop physician internist leading standard post‐operation management. These strategies will greatly promote the development of metabolic surgery for type 2 diabetes in China.
RESUMO
<b>Objective：</b>Care Cafe® aims to remove the barriers between medical treatment, nursing, and welfare, particularly with regard to actual practice. This study was conducted to investigate the changes in local integration using the Care Cafe®. <b>Method：</b>Participants in Care Cafe® filled out the questionnaire before and after attending. We used the Mixed Method to compare the results. This method provides analysis on changes in“quantify the quality of communication and cooperation among medical, nursing, and welfare services in a region”scale points, as well as content analysis on the free-opinion space. <b>Results：</b>The“quantify the quality of communication and cooperation”scale points increased significantly overall, as well as on the subscale. The effect size ranged form 0.32 to 0.36. We also had various successes in the content analysis of the free-opinion space, such as building face-to-face relationships in multiple occupations, that being one of the main purposes of Care Cafe®, as well as providing support, learning through discussion, and generating social capital. <b>Conclusion：</b>Care Cafe® may be a useful tool for improving local, multi-discipline cooperation involving medical treatment, nursing, and welfare.
