The predictive role of carotid artery flow time for anesthesia-induced hypotension in high-risk elderly patients
AbstractHypotension induced by general anesthesia is associated with postoperative complications, increased mortality, and morbidity, particularly elderly patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of corrected carotid artery flow time (FTc) for predicting hypotension following anesthesia induction in patients over 65 years old.  After faculty ethical committee approval and written informed consent, 138 patients (65 years and older, ASA physical status I–III) who scheduled for elective surgery were included in this study. In the pre-operative anesthesia unit, the carotid artery FTc value was me...

Case Report: Profound Anemia in a 2-Year-Old Boy Associated with a Leech in the Oropharynx
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 2:tpmd230677. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0677. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 2-year-old boy presented to Kapsowar Mission Hospital in Kenya with a history of general tiredness associated with mild, unilateral epistaxis and one episode of hematemesis. On admission, he had a hemoglobin value of 3.5 g/dL, with a white cell count of 20.6 × 109/L. The child was examined by the physician on call, with no source of bleeding found. Later that day, after a local physician noted that the presentation could be due to an unrecognized leech infestation, a deep examination of the oropharynx was performed with a...
