Anticoagulation and vascular anomalies
Res Pract Thromb Haemost. 2024 Apr 3;8(3):102402. doi: 10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102402. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTA State of the Art lecture titled "Anticoagulation and Vascular Anomalies" was presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress in 2023. Vascular anomalies have been classified by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies into vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Although some vascular tumors, such as tufted angioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and other vascular malformations can present with coagulation aberrancies, these are not generally m...

Early versus delayed appendicectomy for appendiceal phlegmon or abscess
CONCLUSIONS: For the comparison of early versus delayed open or laparoscopic appendicectomy for paediatric and adult participants with appendiceal phlegmon, very low-certainty evidence suggests that early appendicectomy may reduce the abdominal abscess rate. The evidence is very uncertain whether early appendicectomy prevents overall morbidity or other complications. Early appendicectomy may reduce the total length of hospital stay and increase the time away from normal activities, but the evidence is very uncertain. For the comparison of early versus delayed laparoscopic appendicectomy for paediatric participants with app...

Effects of additional exercise therapy after a successful vascular intervention for people with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease
CONCLUSIONS: There is very uncertain evidence that additional exercise therapy after successful lower limb revascularisation may improve absolute maximal walking distance at the end of follow-up compared to standard care. Evidence is also very uncertain about the effects of exercise on pain-free walking distance, six-minute walk test distance, quality of life, ankle-brachial index, mortality, and reintervention rates. Although it is not possible to confirm the effectiveness of supervised exercise compared to standard care for all outcomes, studies did not report any harm to participants from this intervention after lower l...

Spinopelvic interactions in total hip arthroplasty: 295 patients followed for a minimum follow-up of 10 years
CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent spinal pathology influences THA outcomes at a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Sex, age, and associated lumbar degeneration can affect clinical and radiological changes over time. A decrease in SFP angle values over time was found in patients sustaining late dislocation.PMID:38695378 | DOI:10.1177/11207000241248074 (Source: Hip International)

Health Care Utilization by Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic pelvic pain have higher rates of chronic overlapping pain conditions and undergo more ED visits, imaging tests, and hysterectomies than patients without chronic pelvic pain. Improving access to multidisciplinary care, increasing utilization of interventions such as PT and psychological or behavioral therapy, and reducing ED utilization may be possible targets to help reduce overall health care costs and improve patient care.PMID:38696811 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005595 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Overview of long COVID in Brazil: a preliminary analysis of a survey to think about health policies
Cad Saude Publica. 2024 Apr 29;40(4):e00094623. doi: 10.1590/0102-311XPT094623. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCharacterized by symptoms that remain or appear for the first time within three months of SARS-CoV-2 infection, long COVID can manifest itself in different ways, including in non-hospitalized or asymptomatic cases. Thus, this study offers an overview of long COVID in Brazil, especially of its diagnosis, symptoms, and challenges for new health management. Data from a study that investigated long COVID in people affected by COVID-19 were used. These original data stem from a survey with adult Brazilians (aged 18 years or ...

Cytarabine-induced peripheral neuropathy in a young patient with acute myeloid leukemia: a case report
CONCLUSION: Although rare, even a conventional dosage of cytarabine can cause peripheral neuropathy, and routine neuromuscular examinations can help in the early diagnosis and intervention to limit further progression and reverse the course of the disease.PMID:38694396 | PMC:PMC11060256 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001937 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Richter supraumbilical hernia managed with invagination: a case report
CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of Richter's hernia demands higher suspicion, particularly in patients with predisposing factors like a history of minimally invasive surgery. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for reducing mortality and enhancing prognosis, with invagination alone being adequate if ischaemia is confined and mesh placement is unnecessary.PMID:38694393 | PMC:PMC11060237 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001943 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Incidental diagnosis of primary appendiceal signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma after appendectomy for acute appendicitis: a case report
CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis of ASCA can incidentally be made on pathological specimen following appendectomy for appendicitis. A routine pathological examination should be emphasized, and appendectomy may not be the endpoint of the treatment. Hemicolectomy and adjuvant therapy might ensue upon the diagnosis of appendiceal neoplasm. The poor prognosis of ASCA makes a timely diagnosis significant. Basic research is promising to unravel the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, finding typical tumor markers for screening and novel effective therapies for advanced cases.PMID:38694365 | PMC:PMC11060291 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000...
