Article Synopsis
- This study examines the use of endoluminal vacuum therapy for managing anastomotic dehiscences after colorectal surgery, focusing on its effectiveness and feasibility.* -
- Fourteen patients were treated, with a notable 57.1% achieving complete resolution of their defects; those with acute dehiscences showed an even higher success rate of 80%.* -
- The treatment was found to be safe, with a low complication rate of only 7%, indicating that endoluminal vacuum therapy is a promising option for addressing large acute colorectal anastomotic issues.*
Background: We describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) cases reported in Spain.
Methods: We included all cases of venous or arterial thrombosis with thrombocytopenia following administration of adenoviral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca or Janssen) against COVID-19 disease between 1 February and 26 September 2021. We describe the crude rate and the standardised morbidity ratio.
Unlabelled: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using serum creatinine is widely utilized for assessing renal function. Its decrease with age and in the presence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity is well-known. However, there are no representative data for the Chilean population.

Therefore, rare and/or narrowly endemic species are sometimes known only from very few and very old herbarium specimens. However, these taxa are very important from a conservation perspective.

Objective: To assess adherence to the 2017 CPG for the diagnosis and management of PHTN and use of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool to calculate blood pressure percentiles.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study used electronic health record-extracted data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, among patients visiting 1 of 74 federally qualified health centers in AllianceChicago, a national Health Center Controlled Network.
