Introduction: Spontaneous tendon ruptures in end stage kidney disease patients have the potential to cause long- term morbidity, and timely intervention is required to prevent complications that can severely affect the functional status of the patient.
Case Presentation: A series of six tendons (two triceps tendons and two bilateral patellar tendons) in three patients with ESKD undergoing hemodialysis is discussed in this case series. Patients were aged 61, 44 and 26 years, and on hemodialysis for 5, 10 and 5 years, respectively.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the prevalence and genetic diversity of certain protozoan parasites found in pigs and wild boars in Vietnam, highlighting their potential zoonotic threat to humans.
- A total of 113 stool samples were analyzed, revealing a high prevalence rate of two main types of parasites, with wild boars showing a significantly higher infection rate than domestic pigs.
- The findings underscore the risk of these parasites being transmitted to humans and emphasize the need for further research on their impact on public health.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common concern following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This paper aimed to assess the incidence of reflux disease following these bariatric procedures. A literature search was conducted to identify observational studies and clinical trials reporting patients developed GERD disease after LSG.

Methods: Elective ORL surgeries performed between 2016 and 2021 were retrospectively identified. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between patient characteristics and receiving appropriate prophylaxis, inpatient, 30- and 90-day VTE and bleeding events.
This study analyzes pancreatectomy cases performed between 2016 and 2021 to determine the impact of using Caprini guideline indicated VTE prophylaxis on VTE and bleeding complications. This is a retrospective study of cases performed in a single academic health care system, in which Caprini score and VTE prevention measures were determined retroactively and prevention practices binarized as appropriate or not appropriate. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed of 1,299 pancreatectomy case.
