INTRODUCTION This study evaluates the risk factors and prognostic variables that affect survival of patients with gangrene of Fournier. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study retrospectively analyzed 90 consecutive patients with gangrene of Fournier treated in our institution between 1975 and 2008. We evaluated the average age, associated systemic diseases, and the source, time of evolution and exten...

Previous works have been devoted to the study of two-dimensional noninvertible maps, obtained using a coupling between one-dimensional logistic maps. This paper is devoted to the study of a specific one, in order to complete previous results [5] [7], regarding the evolution of basins and attractors, when considering the tool of critical manifolds.

BACKGROUND: Fournier gangrene (FG) is an urological emergency in the form of progressive necrotizing fascitis caused by polymicrobial infection which affects perineum and external genitalia. FG that not diagnosed treated properly will result severe morbidity even mortality for patient. The assessment becomes clearer with creation a scoring system predicts patient prognostic therapeutic outcomes...

Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a rapid progressive disease with high mortality and is caused by polymicrobial infection. FG usually begins with infection and affects fascias in (the perianal and) perineal regions as well as the abdominal wall and other organs. Although this disease has been recognized for many years, there are only a few cases reported in the world and few from China. Here, we rep...

As an emergency encountered in orthopedic practice requiring prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment, necrotizing fasciitis around the hip must be discriminated from Fournier gangrene. The current case report describes a patient who suffered from bilateral type I necrotizing fasciitis around the hips, which was alleviated by prompt surgical debridement and intensive postoperative care.
