Reports on cases of factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency complicated by platelet function disorders in patients undergoing cardiac surgery are rare, and the utilization of thromboelastography in such cases is limited. This case presents a unique case of FⅤ deficiency complicated by platelet function disorders, highlighting the significance of tailored transfusion strategies guided by thromboelastography (TEG). A 64-year-old hemodialysis patient who was diagnosed with FⅤ deficiency 24 years prior presented for an on-pump coronary artery bypass graft.

- Chlorhexidine can lead to severe anaphylaxis during surgeries, especially when used for skin prep before inserting central venous catheters (CVC).
- A case study showed a patient experienced life-threatening anaphylaxis following CVC insertion due to skin preparation with chlorhexidine, which was quickly treated with advanced resuscitation techniques.
- The review highlights that while chlorhexidine is often linked to other exposure routes, the risk from skin preparation before CVC insertion is significant and frequently underestimated, warranting more awareness in medical practices.
SVS-1 is a cationic amphiphilic peptide (CAP) that exhibits a preferential cytotoxicity towards cancer cells over normal cells. In this study, we developed radiogallium-labeled SVS-1 (Ga-NOTA-KV6), as well as two SVS-1 derivatives, with the repeating KV residues replaced by RV or HV (Ga-NOTA-RV6 and Ga-NOTA-HV6). All three peptides showed high accumulation in epidermoid carcinoma KB cells (53-143% uptake/mg protein).
