Article Synopsis
- Primary fit tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) is commonly used for patients without prior radiation, but its efficacy during salvage laryngectomy is unclear.
- A study analyzed 134 patients who had laryngectomy with primary fit TEP from 2012 to 2018, examining complications and speech/swallow outcomes between primary and salvage laryngectomy groups.
- The findings revealed that while salvage laryngectomy had a higher rate of peristomal dehiscence, other complications were similar between groups, suggesting primary fit TEP is a safe choice for patients seeking a voice prosthesis post-salvage laryngectomy.
Among patients with pathologically proven infective endocarditis, the association of pathogen with occurrence of infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) was examined in 48 case patients with IRGN and 192 propensity score-matched controls. Bartonella was very strongly associated with IRGN (odds ratio, 38.2 [95% confidence interval, 6.

This retrospective cohort study comprised patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), or retinal vein occlusion (RVO) receiving intravitreal injections. The visual and anatomic outcomes at the next completed visit and at the 1-year follow-up were studied.
