AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined a rare vascular syndrome often triggered by minor injuries, focusing on 25 young patients, mostly women, who experience limb pain and vasospasm.
- The condition is characterized by intense and prolonged blood vessel constriction after trauma, leading to symptoms that mimic acute limb ischemia, but these symptoms are reversible with warming.
- Though patients may experience recurring symptoms, physiotherapy has been effective, and follow-up reveals lasting abnormalities in microcirculatory function related to the syndrome.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to present clinical and paraclinical features of a rarely studied vascular syndrome that usually occurs after a minor traumatic injury. The prospective study of 25 patients identified a group of young subjects, mainly women, generally with history of vascular hyperactivity to cold, showing disseminated pain in a limb always combined with vasospasm, consecutive to a minor traumatic injury in general, and simulating acute ischemia of a limb. The patients' arterial and microcirculatory flows were restored after warming, which proved that they were suffering from intense, reversible but pathological vasospasm, because of its duration, diffusion, intensity, and disproportion as to the triggering event. The symptoms may recur, but they respond to physiotherapy. Patients' follow-up showed that microcirculatory function remains abnormal sometime after the initial episode with, in particular, an exacerbation of the venoarteriolar reflex.

Aim: Hypothermia-associated pancreatitis lacks comprehensive understanding owing to limited studies exploring its mechanism, epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes. We aimed to investigate the frequency, characteristics, and predictive factors associated with the development of acute pancreatitis in patients with accidental hypothermia.
Methods: This study comprised a post hoc analysis of data from a multicenter prospective observational study (ICE-CRASH study) conducted in 36 tertiary emergency hospitals in Japan.

Sepsis and septic shock are major complications of febrile neutropenia (FN) in pediatric patients with cancer (PPCs). The aim of the present study was to determine the association of vitamin D (VD) and cathelicidin levels with sepsis and septic shock in PPCs with FN. A prospective cohort of PPCs with FN who had previously received cytotoxic chemotherapy was analyzed.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with vinorelbine (NVB) as a second-line treatment for elderly patients with advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma (SqCLC). The present retrospective analysis included 48 elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) diagnosed with advanced SqCLC who received anlotinib in combination with NVB as a second-line therapy between January 2021 and December 2023. The primary endpoints assessed were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety profile.

Background And Objective: Sexual health research among women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has focused mainly on sexual practices and risk behaviors, with little consideration for treating sexual dysfunction and improving sexual satisfaction. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the effectiveness of an adaptive counseling care model in the management of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among women living with HIV and without HIV in northern Nigeria.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of 200 women with HIV and a matched comparison arm of 200 women without HIV.
