Vitamin K is essential to produce functional vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (prothrombin, factors VII, IX, and X). Vitamin K antagonists inhibit the normal activation of these factors, leading to bleeding manifestations of variable severity. Long-acting vitamin K antagonists or superwarfarins were developed as rodenticides and have a significantly longer half-life and greater potency when compared to warfarin.

The small intestine is the longest segment of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but cancers in the small intestine are infrequent. The duodenojejunal (DJ) flexure is an uncommon site for tumors, and those located in these sites are difficult to identify and manage properly. Their rarity, along with ambiguous symptoms that can be readily misattributed to milder conditions, results in a delayed diagnosis when the tumors have significantly advanced.

Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is characterized by dynamic changes in fibrinolysis, which can significantly impact patient outcomes. These changes typically manifest in two phases: hyperfibrinolysis followed by fibrinolysis suppression. In the early stages of TIC, there is often an overwhelming release of tissue plasminogen activator, which leads to excessive fibrinolysis.

Introduction: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a severe complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) after endovascular treatment (EVT). We hypothesize that asymmetry of the internal cerebral veins (ICVs) on baseline CT angiogram (CTA) may serve as an adjunctive predictor of HT.

Methods: We conducted a study on consecutive AIS-LVO patients from November 2020 to April 2022.
