Should embolectomy be performed in late acute lower extremity arterial occlusions?
BACKGROUND We analyzed the embolectomy results and complications of patients who were operated on after a diagnosis of late acute arterial occlusion of lower extremities.

Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion.

The diagnostic and prognostic values of blood cultures (BC) for 347 acute prostatitis inpatients were evaluated. BC were positive for 21% of patients and contributed to the microbiological diagnosis for 5%.
