In patients with left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after acute myocardial infarction (MI), both anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies are needed. It is unknown whether dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT) is able to reduce the incidence of bleeding complications without significantly increasing the number of thromboembolic events, compared to triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT). We retrospectively evaluated all post-MI patients with LVT discharged on TAT or DAT from our tertiary hospital in the last decade.

- Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a critical complication for patients with liver cirrhosis, and this study explores how a multi-disciplinary approach and early anticoagulation therapy can affect outcomes such as bleeding risks, thrombotic events, and patient survival.* -
- Over 17 years, 149 patients with cirrhotic SVT were studied, revealing that major bleeding and thrombotic events occur at specific rates, with differences between incidental and symptomatic SVT cases.* -
- Results showed that achieving partial or total resolution of thrombosis improves liver function and increases survival rates; the study advocates for a coordinated treatment plan and regular monitoring for better patient outcomes.*
We investigated the exploitation of horse manure for energy recovery by combustion. First, the impact of the waste origin and management (storage conditions) was evaluated in terms of elemental analysis, moisture content, heating value, and ash melting temperature. Besides some carbon loss over the time, horse manure origin and management policy do not impact its profitable exploitation by combustion.

This study sought to compare the short-term outcome of UFH vs fondaparinux in AMI patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and IABP insertion.
Methods: The anticoagulation therapy of revascularised AMI patients who received IABP counterpulsation and admitted to a tertiary hospital in the last decade was retrospectively evaluated.
Aim: There is no specific evidence on the antithrombotic management of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We sought to compare the short-term outcome of unfractioned heparin (UFH) vs fondaparinux in OHCA survivors due to AMI admitted in our Institution in the last decade.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on survivors of OHCA due to AMI managed with UFH or fondaparinux during the hospitalization.
