Article Synopsis
- * This study analyzed cases of C bantiana infections in France and its territories, involving patients who were diagnosed through a comprehensive surveillance program, focusing on survival rates and the presence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
- * Out of 23 patients identified from 2002 to 2022, 65% had CNS involvement, with a notable increase in cases reported in 2022, indicating a possible correlation with environmental factors like rising temperatures.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on balancing ischemic event reduction and bleeding risk during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by monitoring anticoagulation therapy using activated clotting time (ACT) with unfractionated heparin (UFH).
- - Researchers compared ACT measurements from both a coronary guide catheter and an arterial access sheath in patients undergoing PCI, finding that catheter samples had significantly higher ACT values than those from the sheath.
- - The results indicate that a notable percentage of patients may have an ACT deemed therapeutic when measured from the guide catheter, but considered inadequate when measured from the access sheath, which could impact clinical safety during procedures.
Background: The most feared complication of intravitreal injections is the development of endophthalmitis, which could lead to irreversible visual loss. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical profiles, causative pathogens, and clinical outcome of patients post-endophthalmitis.
Methods: Retrospective, single center case series study.
Risk models to estimate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) mortality have limited value in complex high-risk patients. However, it was improved by a recently developed bedside model to predict in-hospital mortality using data from the American College of Cardiology CathPCI Registry that included 706,263 patients. The median risk-standardized in-hospital mortality rate was 1.
