Effect of post-discharge pharmacist-led follow-up on drug treatment in patients with deep venous thrombosis in primary hospitals in China.

Warfarin and rivaroxaban were the two most commonly-used anticoagulant drugs for Deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The aim of this study was to explore the effects of post-discharge pharmacist-led follow-up on drug treatment in patients with DVT in primary hospitals from a pharmacological perspective. A total of 125 patients were recruited from July 2017 to June 2019 and randomized to either a control group or an intervention group.

Clinical and Dynamic Computed Tomography Features of 24 Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Purpose: To explore the clinical and dynamic computed tomography features of coronavirus disease 2019.

Methods: We enrolled 24 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 treated at a regional center in Dezhou, China, from January 22 to February 5, 2020, and analyzed data retrospectively.

Results: Nineteen cases had close contact with people with coronavirus disease 2019, and five patients denied a travel history in Wuhan City or contact with patients having coronavirus disease 2019.

MRI Combined with Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography for Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms.

Background: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are among the important premalignant lesions. Early detection and intervention are critical to positive patient outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate the malignancy of IPMNs, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is recommended for follow-up of pancreatic cystic lesions.

Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas: Correlation of Helical Computed Tomography (CT) Features With Pathologic Findings.

Rationale And Objectives: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are precancerous lesions of the pancreas. Computed tomography (CT) has been recommended to screen the malignant potential of IPMNs. However, data evaluating the use of CT to differentiate categories of IPMN based on disease progression are limited.
