The authors describe very rare complication (pseudopleural effusion) after peripheral venous cannulation (Introcan-W 24G3/4 through v. axilaris) in extremely premature newborn with birth weight 600 grams, which lead to worsening of patient's respiratory insufficiency. Ultrasonographic examination confirmed extrapleural process without necessity of surgical intervention. Cannula extraction and infusion interruption were followed by spontaneous regression of the complication, thereafter artificial ventilation was discontinued and baby was discharged.

A Prospective Comparison of Outcomes of Brachiocephalic Versus Brachiobasilic Fistulas for Hemodialysis.
Indian J Nephrol
July 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, Christian Medical College Vellore, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background: Brachiocephalic fistula (BCF) and brachiobasilic fistula (BBF) are autogenous fistulas created in the arm for hemodialysis access. However, despite the differences in anatomy and surgical technique, the existing literature shows no significant statistical difference between the maturation, patency, or complications. We analyzed the outcomes of these two types of arteriovenous fistulas in our subgroup of the Indian population.

Background: In general, it is relatively easy to remove peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) by gentle traction without any complications. However, the removal of PICC can be challenging occasionally. If the standard interventions fail to remove the catheter, there are no clear recommendations about what to do.

Cancer Manag Res
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Fuyang People's Hospital, Fuyang, 236000, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aims to assess the clinical significance of the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting chemotherapy outcomes for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Methods: A cohort of 44 patients diagnosed with SCLC between January 2021 to June 2022 at Fuyang People's Hospital was selected for analysis. All patients in this group received a first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy regimen.
Background: The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs).
Methods: The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing.
Tissue nanotransfection-based endothelial PLCγ2-targeted epigenetic gene editing in vivo rescues perfusion and diabetic ischemic wound healing.

Diabetic wounds are complicated by underlying peripheral vasculopathy. Reliance on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy to improve perfusion makes logical sense, yet clinical study outcomes on rescuing diabetic wound vascularization have yielded disappointing results. Our previous work has identified that low endothelial phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) expression hinders the therapeutic effect of VEGF on the diabetic ischemic limb.
