Blunt Abdominal Trauma in Pregnancy: Higher Rates of Severe Abdominal Injuries
DISCUSSION: BSOI occurred at a lower rate in PTPs compared to non-PTPs; however, contrary to the "cushion effect" observed in obese populations, pregnant women had a higher rate of severe abdominal injuries. These data support comprehensive evaluations for PTPs presenting after a MVC.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV (therapeutic).PMID:38676625 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241248790 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Postoperative Morbidity after Dental Treatment under General Anesthesia in Children with and without Disabilities
Conclusions: CD more frequently reported complications like oral bleeding, fever, and diarrhea. In contrast, the CTL group more often reported pain-related symptoms. The conclusion underscores the need for a pain control protocol for CD and emphasizes the importance of frequent monitoring to prevent unwanted consequences during tooth restoration under general anesthesia.PMID:38674314 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040668 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Investigation of the Association between Bilateral Selective Anterograde Cerebral Perfusion and Postoperative Ischemic Stroke in Obese Patients with Emergency Surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection
Conclusions: A patient-tailored strategy for cerebral perfusion should be considered in obese patients, considering the high atheromatous burden of the supra-aortic vessels in these patients and the potential risk of atheromatous embolization associated with this technique.PMID:38674307 | PMC:PMC11052173 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040661 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

The Effect of Pringle Maneuver Applied during Living Donor Hepatectomy on the Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Observed in the Donors and Recipients
Conclusions: Although the histological scoring of hepatocyte damage was found to be higher in the Pringle maneuver group, the Pringle maneuver did not augment ischemia-reperfusion injury in donors and recipients that was evaluated by clinical and laboratory analyses.PMID:38674295 | PMC:PMC11051728 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040649 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Association between Antenatal Vaginal Bleeding and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Placenta Accreta Spectrum
Conclusions: Antenatal vaginal bleeding in the setting of PAS is associated with increased emergent deliveries, earlier gestational ages, and maternal composite morbidity. This important antenatal event may aid in not only counseling patients but also in the coordination of multidisciplinary teams caring for these complex patients.PMID:38674323 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040677 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Translation into French and republication of: "Anticoagulant treatment of cancer-associated thromboembolism"
Rev Med Interne. 2024 Apr 26:S0248-8663(24)00097-3. doi: 10.1016/j.revmed.2024.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent and potentially fatal complication in patients with cancer. During the initial period after the thromboembolic event, a patient receiving anticoagulant treatment is exposed both to a risk of VTE recurrence and also to an elevated bleeding risk conferred by the treatment. For this reason, the choice of anticoagulant is critical. The choice should take into account patient-related factors (such as functional status, age, body mass index, platelet count and renal funct...

An Inevitable Challenge in Primary Prevention of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Among Aspirin Users: Appropriate Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors
Li et al1 conducted a retrospective observational study using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, demonstrating an increased incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding among patients on long-term aspirin therapy without cardiovascular disease. Considering the rising incidence, severity, and costs associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding among patients using aspirin for primary cardiovascular prevention, the authors conclude that there is a need for cautious discussion beyond current guidelines regarding the indications for aspirin use.

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 558: Genetic Mechanisms Driving Uterine Leiomyoma Pathobiology, Epidemiology, and Treatment
Borahay
Uterine leiomyomas (ULs) are the most common benign tumor of the uterus. They can be associated with symptoms including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, and pregnancy complications. Despite the high prevalence of UL, its underlying pathophysiology mechanisms have historically been poorly understood. Several mechanisms of pathogenesis have been suggested, implicating various genes, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and microRNA aberrations. The purpose of this study is to summarize the current research on the relationship of genetics with UL. Specifically, we performed a literature...
