Post‐operative serious adverse events in a mixed surgical population – a retrospective register study
ConclusionWe found a risk of one or more events in the composite outcome within 342 days after inclusion of the last patients of 8.3% (7.8–9.0). The results are applicable in estimations of adequate sample sizes in future clinical trials investigating effects of interventions on SAEs.

Retroperitoneal haematoma in a postoperative ALIF patient taking rivaroxaban for atrial fibrillation
ConclusionThis is the first case of a rivaroxaban-induced retroperitoneal haematoma reported in the literature, secondary to elective spinal surgery. This report adds to the body of evidence on the risk of postoperative bleeding in patients taking NOACs. If patients on NOACs present with abdominal symptoms following anterior approach to the lumbar spine, treating clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for retroperitoneal haematoma.

Transfemoral TAVI procedure in women: Minimally-invasive technique.
We report here the case of a patient treated by means of a "minimalist" approach to TAVI allowing a reduction of the risks inherent in the procedure. This simplified strategy relies on an optimal use of CT scan findings prior to TAVI. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and the main access site is sutured percutaneously (Proglides). The radial artery is used as a secondary access site. Contrast medium is diluted and stimulation is administered via the intraventricular guidewire. Direct stenting is performed when deemed feasible on the basis of CT scan results. Simplified procedures such as these contribute ...

Acquired Dysfibrinogenemia Caused by Autoantibody Inhibiting Fibrin Polymerization in a Patient with MELAS Syndrome and Bleeding Tendency.
We present a case of acquired dysfibrinogenemia caused by an autoantibody that inhibited fibrin polymerization in a patient previously diagnosed with MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes). The patient showed prolonged PT, aPTT, and thrombin time. There was no factor deficiency but fibrinogen antigen and activity were decreased. ELISA for detection of fibrinogen antibodies were performed and IgG purified from the patient's plasma bound to fibrinogen more strongly than did control IgG, indicating the presence of a fibrinogen-specific antibody. Thrombin-mediated fibrin polymeriz...

Pre-hospital ct diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with higher mortality in the acute phase than other stroke types. There is a particular risk of early and devastating re-bleeding. Patients therefore need urgent ass...

First ‐aid training in school: amount, content and hindrances
This study aimed to establish how much time is spent on first‐aid training, which first‐aid measures are taught, and which factors prevent teachers from providing the quantity and quality of first‐aid training that they wish to give.
MethodsA questionnaire was distributed to teachers in physical education in primary and secondary schools and to teachers in vocational subjects in higher secondary schools.
ResultsThe teachers taught a median of two lessons in first aid per year. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was taught by 64% of teachers, free airway and recovery position by 69% and stopping severe bleeding by 51...

Efficacy and safety in frameless robot-assisted stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.
CONCLUSION: Frameless robot-assisted SEEG appears to be a safe procedure, providing sufficient accuracy in order to delineate the epileptogenic zone and represents a helpful tool in the pre-surgical management of refractory epilepsy.

The role of prasugrel in the management of acute coronary syndromes: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Prasugrel and ticagrelor are today the recommended first-line agents in patients with ACS. The estimation of which drug is superior over the other cannot be reliably established from the current trials.

FDA Approves First Blood Test to Help Diagnose Brain Injuries
(CHICAGO) — The first blood test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injuries has won U.S. government approval.
The move means Banyan Biomarkers can commercialize its test, giving the company an early lead in the biotech industry’s race to find a way to diagnose concussions.
The test doesn’t detect concussions and the approval won’t immediately change how patients with suspected concussions or other brain trauma are treated. But Wednesday’s green light by the Food and Drug Administration “is a big deal because then it opens the door and accelerates technology,” said Michael Mc...

Sildenafil in Left Ventricular Assist Device Is Safe and Well-Tolerated
Right heart failure is a potentially devastating complication of mechanical circulatory support, occurring at a rate of 0.49 events per 100 patient-months.1 Pulmonary vasodilators such as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) have been frequently used to unload the right ventricle in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients, but there is scant evidence to support this practice.2,3 The purpose of this analysis is to provide additional data regarding the safety and efficacy of the PDE5i sildenafil in a real world population of patients supported with LVADs at Washington University in St. Louis. Sildenafil use was not ...

Bilateral Caudate Nucleus Infarctions Following Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
A 75-year-old woman presented with consciousness disturbance accompanied by hematemesis. Brain imaging revealed ischemia in the bilateral caudate nuclei and right cerebral watershed area due to stenosis of the right anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICA), and hypoperfusion in the right caudate nucleus. The patient's only symptom was abulia, which gradually resolved. Further brain scans showed that the ICA stenosis had improved, although the right ACA stenosis persisted.

A difficult situation – balancing critical anticoagulation versus the risk of permanent neurologic deficit: a case report
ConclusionsManagement of a retroperitoneal hematoma can commence with recognition of the warning signs of bleeding and neurological impairment, and consulting the appropriate services in case the need for intervention arises. A conservative approach of volume resuscitation and blood transfusion can be used initially, with the need for pausing or reversing anticoagulation being assessed on an individual basis with expert consultation. If intervention becomes necessary, other interventional radiology-based modalities can be used to identify and stop the bleeding source, and interventional radiology-guided drainage can be per...
