Evaluating aortomesenteric parameters in a tertiary center of Nepal for superior mesenteric artery syndrome diagnosis and risk factors: cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The study concludes that decreased BMI may pose a potential risk for SMA syndrome, as evidenced by the observed correlations with aortomesenteric parameters. Understanding these normal values in the Nepalese population is critical for accurate diagnoses and predictions using CT scans. The research highlights the impact of demographic factors on these parameters and emphasizes their significance in clinical assessments related to SMA syndrome.PMID:38694377 | PMC:PMC11060225 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001962 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Factor Xa inhibitors vs. warfarin in patients with Hughes syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: Factor Xa inhibitors exhibited an increased risk of stroke among patients with Hughes syndrome. In addition, although not significant, the higher RRs among patients on factor Xa inhibitors may indicate a higher risk of thrombotic events associated with factor Xa inhibitors.PMID:38694373 | PMC:PMC11060306 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001999 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Accuracy prediction of Goodsall's rule for anal fistulas of crypotogladular origin, is still standing?
CONCLUSION: Goodsall's rule was accurate in 74.75% of anal fistulas. It was more accurate for posterior long fistulas and anterior short and superficial fistulas. Patients with long (>3 cm) anterior fistulas defied Goodsall's rule when they found to have fistulas tracking to a midline anterior origin. Further, short posterior fistulas were found to open more commonly in a direct radial course rather to midline posteriorly.PMID:38694374 | PMC:PMC11060315 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001554 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

A comparison of symptoms and quality of life between medial flap and coblation turbinator of inferior turbinate reduction in endoscopic septoturbinoplasty: an analysis of 108 cases
CONCLUSIONS: Septoturbinoplasty treatment of septum deviation and inferior turbinate hypertrophy led to less symptoms as well as better HQOL for all two patient groups. Therefore, these techniques were an effective intervention for turbinate reduction, and they are equally efficient in the long term.PMID:38694367 | PMC:PMC11060241 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001863 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
