Genomic Landscape of Thrombosis Recurrence Risk Across Venous Thromboembolism Subtypes.

Venous thromboembolism (VT) is a frequent (annual incidence of 1 to 2 per 1,000) and potentially life-threatening (case-fatality rate up to 10%) disease. VT is associated with serious short-term and long-term complications including a recurrence rate of approximately 20% within five years. Anticoagulant therapy, the mainstay of VT treatment, drastically reduces the risk of early VT recurrence, but it exposes patients to a substantial risk of bleeding.

Evolution of treated obstructive sleep apneas syndrome after bariatric surgery: an observational retrospective study.

Background: The resolution of obstructive sleep apneas syndrome (OSAS) following bariatric surgery appears to be promising for the majority of patients although this resolution does not necessarily exhibit a linear correlation with weight loss. Previous small-scale studies have pinpointed a younger age and preoperative weight under 100kg as predictive factors of OSAS improvement OBJECTIVES: The primary objective was to evaluate the evolution of OSAS in patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Additionally, we tried to identify potential predictive factors for OSAS improvement postsurgery.

Characteristics of Young Women Presenting With Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Young Women Presenting Acute Myocardial Infarction in France Study.

Background: The percentage of women <50 years of age hospitalized with myocardial infarction is increasing. We describe the clinical, morphological, and biological characteristics, as well as the clinical outcomes of this population.

Methods And Results: This prospective, observational study included consecutive women <50 years of age admitted for myocardial infarction at 30 centers in France (May 2017-June 2019).

Predictors of pulmonary embolism in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases patients admitted for worsening respiratory symptoms: An individual participant data meta-analyses.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have similar clinical symptoms, making PE diagnosis challenging. Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of PE among COPD patients admitted with worsening respiratory symptoms was not negligible, but that systematic search for PE did not provide a clinical benefit. Predictive factors for PE remain unknown.

Duration of anticoagulation of venous thromboembolism.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common, serious condition that requires anticoagulation for at least three months to prevent recurrence and long-term complications. After this initial period, the decision to continue or stop anticoagulation depends on the balance between the risk of recurrent VTE and the risk of bleeding. Established guidelines suggest short-term anticoagulation for VTE caused by transient factors and indefinite anticoagulation for recurrent or cancer-associated VTE.
