The authors report their experience with regional anaesthesia in carotid surgery. They performed 80 carotid endarterectomies in 79 patients. Thirty-three patients were at high surgical risk because of contralateral internal carotid artery occlusion or bilateral stenosis (greater than 70%) or ischemic brain areas for past stroke. In this high risk group 4 strokes were registered in the postoperative period, while no strokes appeared in patients non at risk.

Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang, China.
Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), significantly affecting prognosis during hospitalization. Early identification of high-risk patients is essential to reduce complications, improve outcomes, and guide clinical decision-making.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting in-hospital GIB in patients with AMI, identify key risk factors, and evaluate the clinical applicability of the model for risk stratification and decision support.
Long-term Double-J stenting is superior to short-term Single-J stenting in kidney transplantation.
PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Hepatobiliary and Transplantation Surgery, Department of Surgery, Erasmus MC Transplant Institute, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background And Objectives: Urological complications after kidney transplantation, due to the ureteroneocystostomy, are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and even mortality. Ureteral stents can minimize the number of complications but are not consistently used, as previous studies were retrospective in nature. We aim to prospectively determine the most effective stenting approach.

Climate change is having unprecedented impacts on human health, including increasing infectious disease risk. Despite this, health systems across the world are currently not prepared for novel disease scenarios anticipated with climate change. While the need for health systems to develop climate change adaptation strategies has been stressed in the past, there is no clear consensus on how this can be achieved, especially in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries that experience high disease burdens and climate change impacts simultaneously.

PLoS One
January 2025
Institute of Translational Medicine, Medical College, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, PR. China.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model that predicts the risk of bone metastasis (BM) in a prostate cancer (PCa) population.
Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of patients with pathologic diagnosis of PCa from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022 in two hospitals in Yangzhou, China. Patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University were divided into a training set and patients from the Affiliated Clinical College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Yangzhou University were divided into a validation set.
Carotid artery stenosis and ischemic cerebrovascular events after radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Chulabhorn Hospital, Chulabhorn Royal Academy, Bangkok, Thailand.
Radiotherapy is the main treatment for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) and is associated with an increased risk of ischemic cerebrovascular events (ICVE). The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the incidence of ICVE and carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in patients with HNC who receive radiotherapy and the risk factors for CAS. We enrolled 907 patients with HNC who underwent radiotherapy between February 2011 and June 2022 and obtained information on their clinical and tumor characteristics and their treatment from the clinical records.
