Article Synopsis
- * Among 73,160 patients, only 595 had ablation, and while AB patients were younger and had more heart failure, they had higher hospitalization costs and longer stays (7 days vs. 5 days).
- * There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality, stroke, or major bleeding between the two groups, but AB patients had increased odds of acute heart failure after undergoing the procedure.
Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are superior to coronary angiography for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, whether one technique is superior to the other is inconclusive.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.
Key Clinical Message: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is crucial in diagnosing gastrointestinal sarcoidosis, especially when patients exhibit refractory abdominal symptoms. Our case highlights the significance of considering sarcoidosis in such cases and emphasizes the utility of EUS for accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment.
Abstract: Gastrointestinal sarcoidosis is a rare and challenging manifestation of sarcoidosis that often presents with nonspecific abdominal symptoms, making diagnosis a complex process.
Background: Assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with cirrhosis has been increasingly reported in literature. Aims: To compare quality of life scores between cirrhotic patients and healthy controls and to assess factors associated with the impairment of quality of life in cirrhotic patients.
Methods: HRQOL was measured in cirrhotic patients by the Tunisian version of MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and the Arabic version of the Liver Disease Symptom index 2.
