Background: There is an urgent need to better understand the diverse presentations, risk factors, and outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated cardiovascular toxicity. There remains a lack of consensus surrounding cardiovascular screening, risk stratification, and clinical decision-making in patients receiving ICIs.
Methods: We conducted a single center retrospective cohort study including 2165 cancer patients treated with ICIs between 2013 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Many patients struggle to recognize members of their hospital care team and often find medical terminology confusing during their hospital stay.
- A study involving 172 patients aimed to assess their understanding of the role of a hospitalist and their familiarity with common medical terms.
- The results revealed that nearly half of the patients were unaware of what a hospitalist is, and many misinterpreted other medical terms, highlighting the need for better communication to help patients understand their care.
Purpose: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare tumor with currently no established standard of care. This international multicenter retrospective study assesses the use of percutaneous irreversible electroporation (IRE) as an ablative tool to treat HEHE and provides a clinical overview of the current management and role of IRE in HEHE treatment.
Material And Methods: Between 2017 and 2023, 14 patients with 47 HEHE tumors were treated with percutaneous IRE using CT-scan guidance in 23 procedures.
Background: Clubfoot is a common congenital deformity. The Ponseti technique, involving early corrective manipulations followed by applying long leg casts and Achilles tenotomy, is widely accepted as the preferred treatment. Rapid tendon healing after surgery has been documented, but the aspect regarding long-term tendon structure and properties is not known.
