Relationship between Surgery and Trauma and Risk of Recurrence in Patients with an Associated First Venous Thrombotic Event: A Nested Case-Control Study.

The duration of anticoagulation treatment for venous thromboembolism (VTE) depends on whether the event was provoked or unprovoked. Major surgery or trauma are well-established major provoking factors associated with a low risk of recurrence, but the magnitude of risk with VTE after minor surgery or trauma is uncertain.To compare the rate of recurrence in patients with VTE provoked by minor surgery or trauma with that in patients with VTE provoked by major surgery or trauma.

Microsurgical vasectomy reversal: experience of a single center.

Background: Vasectomy reversal (VR) is the only technique that allows men previously submitted to a vasectomy to conceive by natural pregnancy. We report our experience with microsurgical VR and identify predictive factors of natural pregnancy.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients submitted to VR by a single surgeon from 2008 to 2021 at our single center.

Urgent Reversal of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Critical and Life-Threatening Bleeding: A Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly being used due to their improved efficacy/safety ratio and lower clinical and economic burden when compared to vitamin K antagonists. However, bleeding is still the most frequent complication associated with DOACs, and although rare, bleeding episodes can be life-threatening or critical. The impact of DOAC anticoagulation activity during a bleeding event must be evaluated according to patient clinical assessment, dosage and time from last intake, the presence of comorbidities (especially kidney and liver dysfunction), and, whenever possible, coagulation tests.

Assessment of Chemical and Biological Fungicides for the Control of Causing Wood Necrosis in Hazelnut.

Fungal trunk disease (FTD) poses a significant threat to hazelnut ( L.) production worldwide. In Chile, the fungus , from the Botryosphaeriaceae family, has been frequently identified causing this disease in the Maule and Ñuble Regions.
