Superficial vein thrombosis and its relationship with malignancies: a prospective observational study.

Background: The interrelation of cancer with venous thromboembolism is established, yet the specific impact on the incidence and progression of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) remains unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the association between SVT and malignancies, focusing on risk factors, presentation, course and complications.

Methods: A single-center prospective observational study of patients diagnosed with DVT or SVT referred to a venous thromboembolism clinic between January 2013 and April 2018.

Nucleus Reuniens: Modulating Negative Overgeneralization in Periadolescents with Anxiety.

Background: Anxiety affects 4.4-million children in the United States with an onset between childhood and adolescence, a period marked by neural changes that impact emotions and memory. Negative overgeneralization - or responding similarly to innocuous events that share features with past aversive experiences - is common in anxiety but remains mechanistically underspecified.

Impact of emergency department management of isolated superficial vein thrombosis of the lower limbs: a secondary analysis of data from the ALTAMIRA study.

Objectives: To describe the management of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) of the lower limbs in patients treated in Spanish hospital emergency departments (EDs). To evaluate the impact of ED management of venous thromboembolic complications on outcomes and to determine the characteristics of patients who develop complications.

Material And Methods: The retrospective multicenter ALTAMIRA study (Spanish acronym for risk factors, complications, and assessment of Spanish ED management of SVT) used recorded data for consecutive patients with a diagnosis of isolated SVT treated in 18 EDs.

Identifying the midline thalamus in humans in vivo.

The midline thalamus is critical for flexible cognition, memory, and stress regulation in humans and its dysfunction is associated with several neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and depression. Despite the pervasive role of the midline thalamus in cognition and disease, there is a limited understanding of its function in humans, likely due to the absence of a rigorous noninvasive neuroimaging methodology to identify its location. Here, we introduce a new method for identifying the midline thalamus in vivo using probabilistic tractography and k-means clustering with diffusion weighted imaging data.

Point-of-care ultrasonography in the initial characterization of patients with COVID-19.

Background: There is growing evidence regarding the imaging findings of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in chest X-rays and computed tomography scans; however, their availability during this pandemic outbreak might be compromised. Currently, the role of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has yet to be explored.

Objectives: To describe the POCUS findings of COVID-19 in patients with the disease admitted to the emergency department (ED), correlating them with vital signs, laboratory and radiologic results, therapeutic decisions, and the prognosis.

Sonographic evolution of the superficial vein thrombosis of the lower extremity.

Background: Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) is a common clinical problem across various treatment settings. SVT shares risk factors with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and carries a risk of thromboembolic complications, greater than previously expected. Little is known about the pathophysiology, resolution and recurrence of this disease.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and mesenteric ischemia: can it predict the etiology of mesenteric ischemic at computed tomography?

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictive factor of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in patients presenting at the emergency department (ED) with acute abdominal pain.

Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study of patients older than 16 years admitted to the ED with acute abdominal pain with CT and histologic confirmation. The study group corresponded to patients with abdominal CT with radiological signs of AMI.

[Causes for consultation in the emergency room among patients with systemic autoimmune diseases].

Background: The causes of acute decompensations of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases are not well known.

Aim: To describe the causes for consultation in an emergency room of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases.

Material And Methods: Review of medical records of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases, aged over 14 years, consulting in an emergency room of a general hospital during three months.

Acute complications and outcomes of acute head injury in adult patients with haemophilia.

The aim of the present study is to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics, complications and outcome of patients with haemophilia and acute head injury (AHI) at the emergency department (ED), and develop a protocol to prevent early and late complications. This is a retrospective cohort study including all patients with haemophilia and AHI admitted to the ED. We identified 26 patients with AHI.
