Large-bore aspiration thrombectomy for the treatment of pulmonary embolism in octogenarians.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes in patients aged ≥ 80 years following large-bore aspiration thrombectomy (LBAT) for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE).

Materials And Methods: All patients ≥ 80 years of age with PE treated via LBAT at a single center were analyzed from September 2019 - August 2024. This included the octogenarian subgroup from a recently published retrospective analysis assessing all PE patients treated with LBAT at our center between September 2019 and January 2023.

Use of Albumin In Situ Hybridization to Diagnose Cutaneous Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Poorly Differentiated Features: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rarely metastasizes to the skin. When it occurs, it is often poorly differentiated making the diagnosis challenging. There exists a male predominance, and clinical presentation usually includes papules or nodules resembling pyogenic granulomas or dermal deposits.

Large-bore Aspiration Thrombectomy with the FlowTriever System for the Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism: A Large Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.

Purpose: Evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing large-bore aspiration thrombectomy for the treatment of pulmonary embolism at a large university medical center.

Materials And Methods: All patients treated for pulmonary embolism with the FlowTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) between September 2019 and January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary safety and effectiveness outcomes included 7- and 30-day all-cause mortality, major bleeding, procedure-associated clinical decompensation, pulmonary vascular or cardiac injury, and pulmonary artery pressure reduction.

Fine-mesh exclusion netting reduces Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) infestation and improves organic fall-bearing raspberry yields.

The economical production of small fruits has been significantly complicated by the spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, throughout its invaded rage. Fall-bearing red raspberries are especially susceptible to D. suzukii, and significant efforts to mitigate their damage are undertaken by growers.
