Article Synopsis
- Previous trials suggest no overall benefit of screening for occult cancer in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but high-risk patients may still benefit.
- A study involving 3,706 patients with acute VTE found that the incidence of newly diagnosed cancer increased over time, reaching 3.7% at one year and 7.0% at three years.
- Factors such as older age, a history of cancer, autoimmune disorders, past major bleeding, and lack of transient VTE risk factors were identified as independent predictors for new cancer diagnoses post-VTE.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1507 cancer patients studied, 4.7% experienced an ischemic stroke over a median follow-up of 1020 days, with a cumulative incidence of 4.0% at 1 year.
- * Key risk factors for stroke include specific cancers (pancreatic, ovarian, lung), dyslipidemia, metastasis, elevated D-dimer levels, and younger age, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring in these patients.

Article Synopsis
- A 36-year-old man experienced severe abdominal pain after eating raw fish, leading to a CT scan which indicated thickening of the gastric wall, raising suspicion for gastric anisakiasis.
- The endoscopy confirmed the presence of three Anisakis larvae in the gastric wall, which were successfully removed, alleviating the man's symptoms.
- Anisakiasis is an increasing global concern caused by consuming undercooked seafood; awareness among healthcare providers and proper seafood preparation is essential for prevention.
Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be necessary for some patients with severe pulmonary embolism (PE), but its clinical outcomes are not well understood.
- *In a study analyzing data from 2035 patients with acute PE, 76 required ECMO, with findings indicating high rates of cardiac arrest (88.2%) at diagnosis and a 30-day death rate of 30.3%, all related to PE.
- *The research highlighted significant complication rates, including a 54% incidence of major bleeding, suggesting the need for improved management strategies and future clinical trials.
