O-040 Initial clinical experience with the bendit steerable articulating tip microcatheter for intracranial access and intervention
ConclusionsInitial clinical experience with the controlled articulation that permits flexion at the tip of the microcatheter demonstrated it to be safe. Access to difficult proximal origin curves, and distal clinoidal/ophthalmic segment anatomy may be improved due to the high torque transmission, and acute angulation of this microcatheter. Further experience with the delivery of therapeutic devices will be necessary to better understand the potential role that the present catheter may play in modern neurointerventional procedures.Abstract O-040 Table 1 Patient/Indication/Comorbidities/Treatment/Bendit 21 Role 60s F Cerebr...

Peripheral Artery Disease and Subsequent Risk of Infectious Disease in Older Individuals: The ARIC Study
CONCLUSION: Peripheral artery disease and borderline low ABI were robustly associated with infection-related hospitalization of older adults. The contribution of PAD to infection risk was comparable to that of CHD/stroke, warranting clinical attention to PAD for the prevention of infectious diseases.PMID:36210200 | DOI:10.1016/j.mayocp.2022.03.038

What Causes Sudden Vision Loss?
Discussion Vision loss, whether chronic or acute, is distressing at any time for patients and families. Prompt evaluation and treatment are important as maintenance of any acuity and light or movement is considered paramount. Most vision loss is due to chronic problems and aging issues but the differential diagnosis is broad. For any age, but especially children, uncorrected refractive errors can cause problems in not only in childhood but throughout someone’s lifetime. Visual impairment for distance vision is considered mild if worse than 6/12 in meters = 20/40 in feet or 0.3 LogMAR and for moderate impairment is 6/...

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid-associated severe neutropenia
A 72-year-old man presented with an abnormal blood count and was admitted. His history included hypertension and hyperlipidaemia with an old myocardial infarction and mild stroke; liver cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with hypersplenism and oesophageal varices but no ascites, oedema or bleeding; and benign prostatic hypertrophy. His medications (unchanged for years) included furosemide, spironolactone, bisoprolol, rosuvastatin, alfuzosin and omeprazole. Two weeks prior, he was discharged from our department after left leg cellulitis and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteraemia responsive to parenteral clind...

Incidence of major complications from embolo-sclerotherapy of head and neck vascular malformations in a single specialist centre
CONCLUSIONS: EST is relatively safe for head and neck vascular malformations in a high-volume experienced centre. Our major complication rate of 14.6% per patient (35.7% for HFVM; 5.9% for LFVM) or 7% per procedure (11.6% for HFVM; 3.5% LFVM) compares favourably with published data from other centres. These data will improve treatment planning and informed consent for EST for both HFVM and LFVM of the head and neck.PMID:34311627 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211035279

Comment on “Patient preference for cellulitis treatment: At-home care is preferred to hospital-based treatment”
To the Editor: We  read with interest the recent survey study from Gabel et al1 highlighting the preference of patients for at-home treatment of cellulitis rather than hospital-based care. Notably, these results reflected patient preferences well before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of recent reports linking patient anxiety over COVID-19 to delayed and decreased hospital presentations for acute medical problems such as myocardial infarction2 and stroke,3 we examined whether a similar trend was observed for patients presenting with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) at an urban tertiary car e center at...

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis: What radiologist and clinician must know?
ConclusionsThe SOVT can be secondary to different mechanisms. The SOVT secondary to trauma, recent surgery and coagulopathy are mostly non-aggressive, and can be managed by conservative therapy and anticoagulation. The SOVT in patients with orbital cellulitis, history of active sinusitis or paranasal sinus surgery are aggressive presenting with acute orbital swelling, abscess and visual loss. This type of SOVT can be complicated by extension to the cavernous sinus and intracranial structures. These patients require urgent antibiotics therapy and sinus surgery. The most severe type of SOVT is caused by mucormycosis which ma...
