BACKGROUND Spontaneous hepatic hematoma and liver capsule rupture is a rare but severe complication of Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzyme, and Low Platelet (HELLP) syndrome, with a high mortality rate. We report a case of a pregnant woman with HELLP syndrome and liver subcapsular hematoma rupture that was diagnosed during surgery. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old woman with 34+1 weeks of pregnancy came to the emergency department due to abdominal pain for 4 days.

Synthetic materials that intrinsically direct osteo-differentiation versus self-renewal of recruited stem cell represent a promising alternative strategy for endogenous bone formation. Therefore, a microenvironmentally optimized polyurethane (PU) /n-HA scaffold to enable sustained delivery of gastrodin is engineered to study its effect on the osteogenic fate of stem cells.

Methods: A total of 170 patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery were enrolled, and 151 patients were finally included in the analysis, among which 19 used vasoactive drugs during surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to either the esketamine anesthesia group (E group) or the sufentanil anesthesia group (S group).
Background: Rehabilitation is crucial to recovering patients' dysfunction, improving their life quality, and promoting an early return to their family and society. In China, most patients in rehabilitation units are patients transferred from neurology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics, and most of these patients face problems such as continuously bedridden or varying degrees of limb dysfunction, all of which are risk factors for deep venous thrombosis. The formation of deep venous thrombosis can delay the recovery process and result in significant morbidity, mortality, and higher healthcare costs, so early detection and individualized treatment are needed.

The mechanisms of SCI-related NP have been studied in clinical trials and with the use of experimental models. However, in developing new treatment strategies for SCI patients, NP poses new challenges.

Methods: A single-center retrospective study combined with a meta-analysis was performed.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The pathogenic mechanisms of DPN and the therapeutic interventions required may be distinct between type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) DM. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of DPN in both types of diabetes remain unclear.
