Effectiveness of a multidisciplinary care program for the management of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients: a pilot study.

Introduction: Treatment of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients is challenging due to higher risk of VTE recurrence or bleeding under anticoagulants. We assessed the effectiveness of a dedicated "Allo-Thrombosis Cancer" multidisciplinary care program (AlloTC-MCP) that incorporated individualized care, regular follow-ups, telephone counselling, and a patient education program.

Methods And Materials: From September 2017 to October 2019, 100 consecutive cancer patients with new VTE onset were enrolled in this observational single-center prospective pilot study and received standard (control group, n = first 50 patients enrolled) or AlloTC-MCP care (n = next 50 patients enrolled) over a 6-month VTE treatment follow-up period.

[Upper eyelid reconstruction with the Cutler-Beard flap technique: Retrospective study of 16 cases].

Objectives: Large, full thickness upper eyelid defects are still difficult to deal with in oculoplastic surgery. High specificity in the anatomy and function of the upper eyelid shows how difficult reconstruction can be. We aimed to assess the results provided by the Cutler-Beard flap technique.

High prevalence of IgG4-related lymphoplasmacytic infiltrative disorder in 25 patients with orbital inflammation: a retrospective case series.

Aims: To evaluate retrospectively the prevalence of positive IgG4-immunostaining in orbital tissue of patients with idiopathic orbital inflammation and to compare the clinical, radiographic and pathologic features among patients with and without IgG4-positive cells.

Patients And Methods: 25 patients with biopsy-proven idiopathic orbital inflammation examined from January 2006 through December 2011 were included. Immunohistochemistry with IgG and IgG4 immunostaining from biopsy specimens of all patients was performed.

[Postoperative choroid detachment following microsurgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment].

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, predisposing and prognosis factors of post-operative choroidal detachment after microsurgery of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on a series of 595 consecutive rhegmatogenous retinal detachments referred before any previous failed surgery. Univariate statistical analysis of the data was conducted with evaluation of the odds ratio.
