An electrocardiographic evaluation of the functional state of the myocardium in patients operated upon for urological diseases under conditions of low epidural anesthesia has shown that in the absence of a cardiovascular pathology the method of anesthesia fails to exert a substantial influence on the circulation homeokinesis and functional state of the myocardium. The following use of the low epidural anesthesia in 105 patients with a coexistent ischemic heart disease during urological operative interventions results in two times less amount of cardiovascular complications, lethality and duration of the postoperative period.

Antithrombotic prophylaxis use and incidence of venous thromboembolism in lung cancer surgery: An observational retrospective study.

Introduction: Extended thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for 28 days is recommended in patients undergoing major abdominal or pelvic cancer surgery, but the evidence for thoracic cancer surgery is weak. We aimed to evaluate the use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients undergoing lung cancer surgery in daily clinical practice.

Methods: Retrospective evaluation of a cohort of consecutive adult patients who had undergone lung cancer surgery.

Azygos Vein Stenosis in Frontotemporal Dementia Sagging Brain Syndrome.

Background And Purpose: Symptoms indistinguishable from behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can develop in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated with severe brain sagging. An underlying spinal CSF leak can be identified in only a minority of these patients and the success rate of nondirected treatments, such as epidural blood patching and dural reduction surgery, is low. The disability associated with bvFTD sagging brain syndrome is high and, because of the importance of the venous system in the pathophysiology of CSF leaks in general, we have investigated the systemic venous circulation in those patients with recalcitrant symptoms.

Objective: Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is highly effective in alleviating radicular back pain. While predictive factors for TFESI treatment outcomes have been previously studied, there is a lack of data on the relationship between facet joint degeneration and TFESI efficacy. This study is aimed at studying the impact of facet joint degeneration on TFESI treatment outcomes for unilateral radicular pain.

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP), or low back pain lasting greater than 12 weeks, is a prevalent condition that profoundly impacts the quality of life in affected individuals. Traditional treatments - such as physical therapy, medications, injections, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery - often prove ineffective in a considerable number of cases, particularly when utilized as singular modalities. Given the complex biopsychosocial nature of CLBP, a multi-modality approach tailored to each patients' unique needs is essential.
