A survey of patient blood management for patients undergoing cardiac surgery in nine European countries.

Study Objective: To describe and compare patient blood management (PBM) practices in cardiac surgery in nine European countries and identify the main risk factors for bleeding or transfusion according to the surveyed centres.

Design: We set up an online survey to evaluate PBM practices in two clinical scenarios, risk factors for bleeding or transfusion, and previous experience with antifibrinolytics.

Setting: This survey was completed by European anesthesiologists in 2019.

Pathology slide review in vulvar cancer does not change patient management.

Hypothesis. Pathology slide review in vulvar cancer is only necessary in a restricted number of cases. Methods.

Evaluation of peri-tumoral vessels surrounding colorectal liver metastases after intravenous injection of extruded magnetoliposomes in rats: correlation with 3T MRI and histopathology.

Background: Magnetoliposomes have pronounced signal-enhancing effect on T1-weighted (T1w) images of the liver using qualitative analysis which may be benefical for demonstrating peritumoral vasculature.

Purpose: To correlate peri-tumoral vasculature (ring-enhancement) surrounding colorectal liver metastases after injection of magnetoliposomes using T1-weighted (T1w) imaging with histopathology in a rat model.

Material And Methods: All experiments were approved by the responsible Animal Care Committee.
