We enrolled 5,451 patients with ultrasound-confirmed deep vein thrombosis (DVT), including 2,892 women and 2,559 men, from 183 United States sites in our prospective registry. The 5 most frequent co-morbidities were hypertension (50%), surgery within 3 months (38%), immobility within 30 days (34%), cancer (32%), and obesity (27%). Of the 2,726 patients who had their DVT diagnosed while in the hospital, only 1,147 (42%) received prophylaxis within 30 days before diagnosis.

Background: Liver transplantation is the gold standard treatment option for end-stage liver diseases and failure. In recent years, ex vivo liver machine perfusion has been introduced to resuscitate livers before transplantation. The RBC-based solution is the main perfusate for this matter.

Background: Liver transplantation is the only known curative treatment option for end-stage liver diseases and failure; however, there is an imbalance between the number of available liver organs for transplant and the number of patients as recipients due to a shortage of suitable organs. In recent years, ex vivo liver machine perfusion has been introduced to liver transplantation to expand the donor organ pool. Studies showed that using normothermic machine perfusion can increase the pool of transplantable discarded livers and is a promising strategy to improve graft resilience and performance further.

Background: Lack of motivation and behavioral abnormalities are the hallmarks of postpartum depression (PPD). Severe uterine contractions during labor are pain triggers for psychiatric disorders, including PPD in women during the puerperium. Creating biomarkers to monitor PPD may help in its early detection and treatment.

Introduction: Africa is the least motorized populated continent, yet it experiences the highest traffic fatality rate. Despite laws mandating helmet and seatbelt use, data on protective gear use among Cameroonian road traffic injury (RTI) patients remains sparse.
Methods: We extracted Cameroon Trauma Registry data prospectively collected from 10 hospitals during July 2022 to December 2023.
The Impact of Family History on Clinical Presentation and Biologic Treatment Response in Patients with Psoriasis: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.
Am J Clin Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200443, China.
Background: Family history (FH) of psoriasis has been implicated as a risk factor for developing psoriasis. However, whether FH also carries information on clinical presentation and treatment response to biological agents in patients with psoriasis remains unclear.
Objective: This prospective, multicenter observational study aimed to analyze the clinical presentation and efficacy differences between patients with psoriasis with and without a FH.
