Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative hypothermia during breast reconstruction surgery may lead to increased wound healing complications, despite advancements in surgical techniques.
- A comprehensive review of existing studies showed that hypothermia resulted in a statistically significant increase in the risk of wound issues, with a risk ratio of 1.68.
- While hypothermia did not significantly affect the rates of infection, hematoma, seroma, or necrosis, it remains a pertinent risk factor that needs to be considered in surgical practices.
Background: The utilization of postdilatation in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is feared to induce suboptimal coronary blood flow and compromise the outcome of the patients. This meta-analysis sought to verify whether postdilatation during primary PCI is associated with worse angiographic or long-term clinical outcomes.
Methods: Systematic literature searches were conducted on PubMed, The Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.
Myocardial involvement among critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often has worse outcomes. An imbalance in the oxygen supply causes the excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which results in increased ventilation requirements and the risk of death in COVID-19 patients. We evaluated the association between the hs-troponin I levels and global longitudinal strain (GLS) as evidence of myocardial involvement among critical COVID-19 patients.

Although extremely rare, haematological diseases have the potential to trigger an extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) process within the pericardium, resulting in a substantial build-up of pericardial effusion.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 29-year-old male previously diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), who presented to the emergency unit with cardiac tamponade.
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a significant cardiovascular burden in the world even though it is no longer common in affluent countries. Centuries of history surrounding this disease provide us with a thorough understanding of its pathophysiology. Infections in the throat, skin, or mucosa are the gateway for Group A Streptococcus (GAS) to penetrate our immune system.
