Conservative versus surgical management of latrogenic tracheal rupture

latrogenic tracheal rupture [ITR] represents a life-threatening condition requiring prompt diagnosis, management, and treatment

The management of ITR is challenging, and treatment options depend on tear location, size, injury extent, and the patient's respiratory status. Although this complication has been extensively reported in published literature, the best evidence practice, for the management, requires clarification. In this review, the authors focused on the establishment of a differential diagnosis and the potential mechanism of the injury, the decision-making process, and the therapeutic approaches

It is suggested that for small lacerations or stable patients, conservative management could be considered sufficient, whereas invasive surgical therapy would be more appropriate in cases of large defects with significant air leak and patient instability

Is there a sociology of the body in Brazil? / Existe uma sociologia do corpo no Brasil? / Existe una sociologia del cuerpo en Brasil?

Abstract: This paper aims to identify the possible establishment of a Sociology of the Body in Brazil. The body is understood as a social construct ­ as a phenomenon that occurs in the relationship established between the individual and the social sphere ­, producing sense and meaning that is socially located and manifest in and by corporeality. Based on a survey of Brazilian Social Science (specifically Sociology and Anthropology) and Physical Education papers, we found enough research production to point out the incipient nature of Sociology of the Body in Brazil.

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é identificar a possível constituição de uma Sociologia do corpo no Brasil. O corpo é entendido como uma construção social ­ como um fenômeno que se realiza numa relação que se estabelece entre o individual e a esfera social ­, produzindo sentidos e significados localizados socialmente e manifestados na e pela corporeidade. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica nos campos de conhecimento brasileiros das Ciências Sociais (especificamente Sociologia e Antropologia) e Educação Física, identificou-se resultados da investigação suficientes para sugerir o caráter incipiente da Sociologia do corpo no Brasil.

El cuerpo es entendido como una construcción social ­como un fenómeno que se realiza en una relación que se establece entre lo individual y la esfera social­ produciendo sentidos y significados localizados socialmente y que se manifiestan en y a través de la corporeidad. A partir de una revisión de la literatura en periódicos brasileños de los campos de conocimiento de las ciencias sociales (específicamente sociología y antropología) y de la educación física, fueron identificados resultados suficientes para sugerir el carácter incipiente de la sociología del cuerpo en Brasil.
