Article Synopsis
- - The study examined outcomes of male and female patients with cardiogenic shock who received microaxial percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (pLVADs), finding no differences in all-cause mortality at 30 days between the sexes.
- - Female patients showed a lower requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT) compared to male patients, suggesting potential sex disparities in treatment outcomes.
- - The research highlights the need for larger studies to validate whether being female is linked to better outcomes in terms of RRT needs when treated with pLVAD.
Article Synopsis
- Acute compartment syndrome of the thigh is a rare but serious complication that can occur after total knee arthroplasty, requiring urgent surgical intervention to prevent tissue damage.
- A case involving a 57-year-old woman highlighted the importance of early detection, as she experienced severe pain and swelling in her thigh due to this condition, despite having no known risk factors.
- The patient successfully underwent surgery and recovered well, emphasizing the need for physicians to consider compartment syndrome even in uncommon presentations after orthopedic procedures.
Background: Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the key regulatory enzyme in prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and is up-regulated in many premalignant and malignant lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro DNA protective or damaging effects of COX-2 inhibitors using the single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay.
Materials And Methods: Cells from miniorgan cultures of pharyngeal mucosa from 30 patients were incubated once or five times with the COX-2 inhibitors celecoxib and rofecoxib.
