January 2025
Department of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery, Lucerne Cantonal Hospital, Lucerne, Switzerland.
Background: Low-profile double plating seems a viable alternative to conventional single plating for fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures. This study aims to compare the two techniques regarding healing, complications, and removal rate.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients >16 years that underwent plate fixation for midshaft clavicle fractures between 2020 and 2022 at one trauma-center.
Cerebrovascular Accidents After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Patients with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome: A Case Series.
Clin Pract
December 2024
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), defined by the presence of pulmonary vascular dilatations that cause right-to-left transpulmonary shunting of venous blood with a consequential increase in the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, is a relatively frequent complication of chronic liver disease. While orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is indicated and often curative in HPS patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD), little is known about the peri- and post-operative-period risks of CVA in OLT recipients with HPS. : We report a case series of five non-consecutive OLT recipients with HPS who developed ischemic and/or hemorrhagic CVAs during or shortly after OLT, raising concern that the risks of neurological complications remain increased even after OLT.

Centro de Investigación de Ciencias de la Salud (CICSA), Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Anáhuac México Campus Norte, Huixquilucan CP 52786, Estado de México, Mexico.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is defined as physical damage that alters the function and structure of the spinal cord. Traumatic causes, such as vehicle accidents, falls, and violence, account for 90% of SCI cases. Recent evidence suggests that early intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring improves patient prognosis, highlighting the importance of prompt ICU admission and early decompression surgery.
