Objective: To investigate the impact of mediolateral episiotomy on the innervation zones of the External Anal Sphincter (EAS) in the absence and presence of direct muscular injury.
Methods: This case series examined four primiparous women, including three who underwent vaginal deliveries with mediolateral episiotomy and one cesarean section case for reference. Pre- and post-delivery assessments utilized surface electromyography (sEMG) and endoanal ultrasound to evaluate changes in the EAS's innervation zones and obstetrical EAS injuries, alongside the Wexner score for fecal incontinence.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant neurological complications (NCs). The impact of neurological sequelae due to IE, however, is not well characterized. Thus, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine whether patients who experienced NCs from IE had worse outcomes compared to those without neurological complications.

- The COMPLETE trial showed that complete revascularization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease leads to better health outcomes than treating only the culprit lesion.
- This subanalysis focused on whether having a nonculprit lesion (NCL) in the proximal/mid left anterior descending artery (LAD) affects outcomes compared to NCLs in other locations.
- Results indicated that while the presence of a proximal/mid-LAD NCL did not significantly alter treatment benefits, complete revascularization consistently reduced major cardiovascular events across both groups.
Background: Bifurcation lesions are associated with higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Aim: To investigate the impact of imaging-guided PCI in a real-world population with coronary bifurcation lesions.
Methods: From the ULTRA-BIFURCAT registry, we compared IVUS vs.
