Article Synopsis
- Novel direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like apixaban are widely used to treat non-valvular atrial fibrillation, but have been linked to adverse reactions such as esophagitis dissecans superficialis (EDS).
- A case study of a 73-year-old woman revealed that after several weeks on apixaban, she experienced weakness, difficulty swallowing, and gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to a diagnosis of EDS.
- The patient was treated with a proton pump inhibitor and iron supplements, and after recovery, opted for rivaroxaban instead of the initially suggested vitamin K antagonist for her anticoagulation therapy.
Recently, there has been a major push toward the development of next-generation treatments against snakebite envenoming. However, unlike current antivenoms that rely on animal-derived polyclonal antibodies, most of these novel approaches are reliant on an in-depth understanding of the over 2000 known snake venom toxins. Indeed, by identifying similarities (i.

Eight prospective studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, with a population aged 18-65 years, analyzing treatment regimen and psychophysical and social status in post-cancer follow-up of at least 2 years. In the meta-analysis, a comparison was made between recovered unemployed cases and cases from a standard reference population.

Therefore, the design process and especially the optimization phase becomes an important step. The geometry of the fabric of each lamina as well as their stacking sequence need to be carefully defined, starting from some basic geometric variables.
