Objectives: After forearm and arm cephalic veins are no longer available as options, the choices of arm vascular access between one-staged brachial-basilic vein transposition (BBAVF) and arm straight arteriovenous graft (AS-AVG) for hemodialysis are controversial. This study aims to compare outcomes between groups.
Methods: All one-staged BBAVF and AS-AVG from August 2014 to December 2019 were reviewed.
A COVID-19 Silver Lining-Decline in Antibiotic Resistance in Ischemic Leg Ulcers during the Pandemic: A 6-Year Retrospective Study from a Regional Tertiary Hospital (2017-2022).

Antibiotic resistance (AR) associated with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) poses additional challenges for the management of ischemic leg ulcers, increasing the likelihood of severe outcomes. This study assessed AR prevalence in bacteria isolated from CLTI-associated leg ulcers before (1 January 2017-10 March 2020; = 69) and during (11 March 2020-31 December 2022; = 59) the COVID-19 pandemic from patients admitted with positive wound cultures to a regional hospital in Chiang Mai (Thailand). There was a marked reduction in AR rates from 78% pre-pandemic to 42% during the pandemic ( < 0.

Effective self-care, supported by nurse-provided information, is crucial, particularly in foot care. However, the current approach in Thailand focuses more on what nurses want patients to know rather than addressing patients' actual needs.

The angiosome concept has been adopted to determine the best target arterial path (TAP) for revascularization for wound healing in CLTI patients. Recent publications demonstrated the benefit of angiosome-targeted revascularization to guide the endovascular treatment in patients CLTI.

- - This study evaluates the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients who had complicated appendectomies, comparing two closure methods: delayed primary closure (DPC) and primary closure (PC) while considering individual risk factors.
- - Conducted as a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial involving 546 adult patients, the research applied a prediction model that incorporated various predictors such as diabetes and fecal contamination.
- - Results indicated that about 38.1% of patients had a lower SSI risk with PC compared to DPC, particularly those with diabetes and ruptured appendicitis, suggesting early PC may be more beneficial in reducing SSI for patients with complicated appendicitis.
