- Air embolism is a serious risk during central venous catheter (CVC) removal, often overlooked by less experienced healthcare workers, highlighting the need for better training and guidelines.
- A survey showed that one-third of respondents were unaware of air embolism risks, and many did not follow established protocols during CVC extraction.
- The study found that less experienced staff, particularly interns, had significantly lower knowledge about preventing air embolism, stressing the importance of hospital protocols and education for safety.
Background: Radiotherapy is frequently added to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) when treating melanoma. We sought to describe the efficacy of combination ICI and palliative radiotherapy (pRT) and assess safety, focusing on immune related adverse events (irAE).
Methods: A systematic search for studies investigating the combination of pRT and ICI was conducted.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is a group of rare diseases of systemic necrotizing vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized vessels and may be associated with the presence of anti- neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. Vessels in different organs and systems are involved, leading to various clinical manifestations of the disease. We present 3 cases of microscopic polyangiitis which have been diagnosed and treated in one medical department for over 4 years.
