Article Synopsis
- Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is caused by chronic pressure on the iliac vein, leading to potential complications like venous leg ulcers (VLU), but the diagnostic role of computed tomography venography (CTV) is still being explored.
- A study analyzed the medical records of 62 patients, finding that CTV delivered more thorough information than other imaging methods and that female sex and older age are significant risk factors for IVCS.
- The research indicated that patients with IVCS who received stenting showed notable improvements in both clinical symptoms and ulcer healing rates, suggesting that stenting could be a beneficial treatment option.
Background & Problems: Medical management protocols prioritize the safety of patients during emergency resuscitation situations. According to a medical center in Taiwan statistics gathered in 2017, the unnecessary activation of resuscitation teams by new nurses because of their improper assessment of patient conditions was a significant cause of anxiety in patient relatives and source of complaints directed at the medical center. In June 2018, 18.

- * A systematic review and meta-analysis of three studies with 2650 patients found no significant differences in adverse events or skeletal-related events between administering zoledronic acid every 12 weeks and every 4 weeks.
- * The 12-week dosing interval may even lead to lower instances of serious side effects like osteonecrosis of the jaw and kidney dysfunction, suggesting it could be a viable treatment option.
β-Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic blood diseases and is caused by either point mutations or deletions in the β-globin (HBB) gene. The generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and subsequent correction of the disease-causing mutations may be a potential therapeutic strategy for this disease. Due to the low efficiency of typical homologous recombination, endonucleases, including TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9, have been widely used to enhance the gene correction efficiency in patient-derived iPSCs.
