Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a significant risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and poses unique challenges in anticoagulation management due to limited research on how extreme body weight affects medication outcomes.
- This review focuses on patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m² or higher, analyzing various anticoagulants' dosages, efficacy, and safety for both prevention and treatment of VTE.
- The study emphasizes the need for personalized treatment strategies and careful monitoring, especially for specific groups like cancer patients or those with kidney issues, given the insufficient evidence available for effective anticoagulant therapy in morbidly obese individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Amiodarone is a highly effective antiarrhythmic drug used to treat conditions like atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias, functioning across all four classes of antiarrhythmics.

For a better evaluation of these cases, we need a specific battery of tests. Beside the impact of preoperative status on surgical decision, the quantification of postoperative function alteration is essential in neurorehabilitation.
