Objective: Delayed bleeding is a major complication of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastric neoplasms. We aimed to clarify risk factors for delayed bleeding from ESD.

Material And Methods: This study included 447 patients in whom 544 gastric neoplasms were resected by ESD between April 2006 and March 2011 in Yamaguchi University Hospital. We analyzed risk factors for delayed bleeding from ESD in relation to various clinical and pathological factors.

Results: En bloc resection rate was 95.4% (519/544), and curative resection rate was 87.8% (477/544). Delayed bleeding occurred in 7.0% (38/544) and perforation occurred in 1.8% (10/544) of patients. Univariate analysis revealed platelet count (Plt) <15 × 10⁴/μl (p = 0.013), prothrombin time (PT) <70% (p = 0.044), resected size ≥ 50 mm (p = 0.038), and positive/indeterminate lateral margin (p = 0.012) to be risk factors for delayed bleeding. Multivariate analysis showed that Plt <15 × 10⁴/μl (odds ratio [OR], 2.62; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-5.53, p = 0.020) and positive/indeterminate lateral margin (OR, 5.45; 95% CI: 1.39-17.95, p = 0.018) were independent risk factors for delayed bleeding.

Conclusions: Low Plt, low PT, large resected size, and positive/indeterminate lateral margin were significant risk factors for delayed bleeding from ESD. Patients with these risk factors must be carefully observed for signs of delayed bleeding.

While autonomic dysregulation and repolarization abnormalities are observed in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), their relationship remains unclear. We aimed to measure skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA), a novel method to estimate stellate ganglion nerve activity, and investigate its association with electrocardiogram (ECG) alterations after SAH. We recorded a total of 179 SKNA data from SAH patients at three distinct phases and compared them with 20 data from controls.

Catheter ablation procedure for symptomatic atrial fibrillation is an established treatment. Cardiac tamponade is one of the several complications associated with atrial fibrillation ablation. We present the case of a 60-year-old male with a past medical history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, hypotension on midodrine, atrial fibrillation status post-ablation a week prior, and a cerebrovascular accident who presented to the emergency department with complaints of weakness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and some syncopal episodes for the past few days.

A Scoping Review of Factors Associated with Delayed Extubation in Post Cardiac Surgery Patients.

Department of Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Padjadjaran, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia.

Background: Delayed extubation (DE) after cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity, mortality, increased length of stay in the intensive care unit, and hospital costs. Various studies have identified factors that influence the occurrence of DE in patients after cardiac surgery, but no review has systematically synthesized the results.

Purpose: This review aimed to identify the influencing factors and the leading causes of DE in patients after cardiac surgery.

Introduction: Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) have been diagnosed increasingly often but still represent rare pancreatic neoplasms. Surgery is a potentially curative approach for patients with NF-PNETs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied more frequently for surgical resection of NF-PNETs.

Background: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is a safe and effective surgical method for treating benign and malignant tumors of the pancreatic body and tail. However, laparoscopic surgery requires good intraoperative exposure, and since the pancreas is obstructed by the stomach and duodenum, making surgical operations and the management of intraoperative emergencies challenging. Therefore, gastric traction is crucial in laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
