Colonic Perforation Secondary to COVID-19 Induced Hemorrhagic Colitis in a Patient Heterozygous for Factor V Leiden
Am Surg. 2023 May 4:31348231173976. doi: 10.1177/00031348231173976. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUp to 17.6% of COVID-19 positive patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel wall abnormalities have been described in up to 31% of COVID-19 positive patients. Here, we present a case of a 40-year-old male diagnosed with COVID-19 complicated by hemorrhagic colitis leading to colonic perforation. CT scan of abdomen and pelvis demonstrated markedly distended descending and sigmoid colon with poorly defined wall, pneumatosis, and pneumoperitoneum. The patient was taken for emergent exploratory laparotomy for extende...

COVID-19 Vaccine-Associated Pneumonitis in the Republic of Korea: A Nationwide Multicenter Survey
CONCLUSION: These results suggest pneumonitis as a potentially significant safety concern for vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Clinical awareness and patient education are necessary for early recognition and prompt management. Additional research is warranted to identify the epidemiology and characterize the pathophysiology of vaccine-associated pneumonitis.PMID:37038643 | PMC:PMC10086377 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e106

Long-term efficacy and safety profile of splenectomy for pediatric chronic immune thrombocytopenia
Int J Hematol. 2023 Jan 9. doi: 10.1007/s12185-022-03529-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are few reports of the long-term efficacy of splenectomy in children with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). In a 33-year period, we performed splenectomies in 23 pediatric patients with ITP at a single institution in Japan. The age at surgery was 5-22 years with a median of 10 years. The follow-up period was 1-141 months with a median of 48 months. Before surgery, we confirmed the presence or absence of the accessory spleen by contrast-enhanced CT scan and we recommended vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine. Four patients underwen...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 19th 2022
Conclusion Use of the Khavinson peptides and melatonin in combination in this way, at this dose, negatively impacts the thymus, producing a reduction in active tissue and increase in atrophy to fatty tissue. The degree to which this atrophy occurred is greater than one would expect to take place over nine months of aging at this stage of life. Why did this outcome occur, given the animal studies showing thymic regrowth, and the studies showing reduced later life mortality following use of thymogen? We can only speculate. Firstly, the dose makes the poison, and the dosing here may have been too high, too frequ...

Peritoneal dialysis in the era of COVID-19: experience of a Tunisian center
J Nephrol. 2022 Aug 1. doi: 10.1007/s40620-022-01396-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the health landscape by hampering the management of patients with chronic diseases. Providing optimal healthcare has become a critical issue, especially for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving in-center dialysis. Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) has the advantage of being a home-based therapy. Several papers about COVID-19 in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population have been published, but few studies focused on the PD population, with limited case series. In this paper, we share our st...
