Adherence to periprocedural antithrombotic treatment recommendations and its prognostic impact in patients with high ischemic and hemorrhagic risk.

Introduction And Objectives: To analyze the clinical impact of the inappropriate use of antithrombotic treatment in patients with high ischemic or hemorrhagic risk during the periprocedural/perisurgical period in Spain.

Methods: Prospective multicenter observational registry of patients receiving antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy who required an intervention. The incidence of 30-day events was compared based on the peri-intervention management of antithrombotic treatment and the patients' risk classification (high vs.

Incidence and clinical impact of inappropriate periprocedural and perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy.

Background And Aims: There is little evidence on the impact of current recommendations on the use of antiplatelet therapy during the perioperative and periprocedural period in our setting. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and clinical impact of inappropriate use of antiplatelet therapy in a population of patients undergoing surgery or a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure in "real life" in Spain.

Methods: A prospective multicenter observational study of patients treated with antiplatelet agents requiring intervention was conducted.

Prostate cancer patients with lymphatic node involvement detected by immunohistochemistry. Is the effort worthwhile?

Introduction: Lymph node (LN) status is one of the main prognostic factors in localized prostate cancer (CaP) patients after surgery. Examining palpable lymph nodes with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) is the most common approach in clinical practice; however, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been reported to increase the LN detection rate. We reviewed the oncological results of patients with LN metastasis detected by IHC.

How we approach conservative treatment of retinoblastoma in South America in the era of local ocular treatments: A consensus of the Grupo America Latina de Oncologia Pediatrica (GALOP).

Local therapies are increasingly used for ocular preservation in retinoblastoma. In middle-income countries, these techniques pose specific challenges mostly related to more advanced disease at diagnosis. The Grupo de America Latina de Oncología Pediátrica (GALOP) developed a consensus document for the management of conservative therapy for retinoblastoma.
