Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic and recurring inflammatory skin disorder characterized by an intensely pruritic, eczematous dermatitis. The etiology of AD is thought to involve a combination of environmental, genetic, and immunologic factors. Emerging research has investigated factors that may impact individual risk for developing AD, disease severity, and treatment response.

Safety and Efficacy of Extended Postdischarge Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction.

Unlabelled: Discharging patients on extended postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is trending in microsurgical breast reconstruction (MBR). This study investigated contemporary bleeding and thromboembolic complications after MBR and reported postdischarge enoxaparin outcomes.

Methods: The PearlDiver database was queried for MBR patients who did not receive postdischarge VTE prophylaxis (cohort 1) and MBR patients discharged with enoxaparin for at least 14 days (cohort 2), then queried for hematoma, deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and/or pulmonary embolism.
