Prophylactic Radiologic Interventions for Postpartum Hemorrhage Control in Women With Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: To quantify the association between prophylactic radiologic interventions and perioperative blood loss during cesarean delivery in women with placenta accreta spectrum disorder through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Data Sources: On January 3, 2023, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. We also checked ClinicalTrials.

The Influence of Patient Characteristics and Social Determinants of Health on Postoperative Complications Following Achilles Tendon Rupture.

Background: The influence of social determinants of health (SDH) on postoperative complications has been investigated in several studies, although correlation with Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) repair remains uninvestigated. SDH encompasses several factors, including insurance status and area-based measurements, including the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), which ranks neighborhoods by social disadvantage. This study investigated the correlation between patient demographics, SDH, and complications following ATR repair.

Treatment failure of in primary care: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Owing to increasing antibiotic resistance, the worldwide efficacy of (HP) eradication treatment has decreased.

Aim: To determine antimicrobial resistance of HP in primary care.

Design & Setting: Retrospective cohort study using real-world routine healthcare data from 80 general practices in the Netherlands.

Prophylactic radiologic interventions to reduce postpartum hemorrhage in women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder: a nationwide cohort study.

Objective: To quantify the association between prophylactic radiologic interventions and perioperative blood loss in women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide cohort study of women with risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorder who underwent planned cesarean section in 69 Dutch hospitals between 2008 and 2013. All women had two risk factors for PAS: placenta previa/anterior low-lying placenta and a history of cesarean section(s).

[A 21-year-old man with a swelling on the forearm].

A 21-year-old man presented at the radiology department with a focal swelling on the right forearm that became apparent when making a fist. A dynamic ultrasound assessment revealed a defect of the fascia overlying the flexor muscles, through which a herniation of muscle tissue occurs during contraction.

Surgical management of post-thrombotic syndrome in chronic venous thoracic outlet syndrome.

Objective: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS) is considered chronic when symptoms and venous stenosis or occlusion are present for >3 months after the initial primary upper extremity deep vein thrombosis event. Many of patients with chronic VTOS receive conservative treatment. However, a subset of these patients will have persistent post-thrombotic syndrome symptoms because of underlying causative anatomy.

Severe arterial thromboembolism in patients with Covid-19.

Introduction: The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged early December 2019 and was recently confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a public health emergency of international concern. Earlier reports have shown coagulopathy in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Main Symptoms And Important Clinical Findings: We present four critically ill Covid-19 patients, who were admitted to our hospital.

Same Admission Hybrid Treatment of Primary Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis with Thrombolysis, Transaxillary Thoracic Outlet Decompression, and Immediate Endovascular Evaluation.

Background: Multiple algorithms exist for treating acute primary upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (pUEDVT) caused by venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS). In this case series, we present the results of our dedicated same admission treatment algorithm.

Methods: All patients between January 2015 and December 2019 with an established acute upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (symptoms <14 days) caused by VTOS were treated according to an algorithm consisting of same admission thrombolysis, transaxillary thoracic outlet decompression (TA-TOD) with extensive venolysis, and venography.
