Anaphylactic shock due to intra-articular injection of diclofenac etalhyaluronate sodium: A case report.

Background: Anaphylactic shock of diclofenac etalhyaluronate agent can be prolonged and recurrent. However, its reports are rare, and consequently, its method of management remains to be established.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old woman received an intra-articular injection of diclofenac and hyaluronate.

Influence of recombinant human-soluble thrombomodulin on extracorporeal circuit clotting in septic patients undergoing blood purification: a propensity-matched cohort study.

Blood purification has been widely performed for critically ill patients, even in cases without renal failure. Effective anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit is necessary to prevent circuit clotting. We hypothesized that administration of recombinant human-soluble thrombomodulin (rhsTM) to septic patients undergoing blood purification may prevent circuit clotting, because this agent regulates coagulation.

Retrospective study of predictive factors for postoperative complications of hepatectomies lasting 12 or more hours.

Objectives: Hepatectomy is used to treat several liver diseases, although perioperative mortality and postoperative complication rates remain high. Given the lack of relevant studies to date, the present study aimed to investigate potential predictive factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomies lasting 12 or more hours (termed "extremely long hepatectomies").

Methods: Adult patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) after extremely long hepatectomies at Fujita Health University Hospital between 2014 and 2017 were enrolled in the study.
