Extent of mural thrombus is not associated with increased 5-year mortality following elective AAA repair
CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, the extent of mural thrombus in AAA does not influence long-term survival after elective repair. AAA repair may provide protection against circulating components of mural thrombus which have the potential to promote atherosclerotic-related adverse events. Patients with renal insufficiency and larger AAA have increased risk of mortality 5 years after elective repair.PMID:35331063 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211063282

Comparison between Automated Erythrocytopharesis (AECP) and Manual Exchange Transfusion (M-Ex)) in Reducing Hb-S and in Recovery of Acute Chest Syndrome and Other Acute Presentations of Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Conclusions:Erythrocytopharesis (Automated RBC exchange) is effective, quick and safe procedure that is life saving for many patients with ACS and is associated with less difficulties and complications if compared with the manual exchange. Because SCA is a national problem in Saudi Arabia and acute chest syndrome and other acute major complications comprehensively kill SCD patients, Automated Erythocytopharesis should be available nation-wide like dialysis machines at all large hospitals in all cities and should be distributed according to the prevalence of SCA in the area or location.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Declotting the Thrombosed Access
Because a patent access is the lifeline for a dialysis patient, access declotting is extremely important. Before embarking on a declot, it is important to evaluate the patient for potential contraindications such as pulmonary hypertension, right-to-left shunts and access infection in order to be able to avoid potential complications such as symptomatic pulmonary embolism, stroke, and sepsis. Multiple methods to perform a percutaneous declot exist. Four common methods are described here. We also discuss how to avoid causing an arterial embolism and how to treat it if it does occur.

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.

Sternal fracture—an analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank
Conclusions: SFs occur in 3.7% of victims after MVC. With isolated SF, the mortality rate is low (3.5%); the tendency for poorer outcomes is most heavily influenced by associated injuries (pulmonary contusions, other thoracic fractures), complications (cardiac arrest, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome), comorbidities (currently on or requiring dialysis, residual neurologic deficit from stroke), and lack of insurance.
