Continuous nursing care improving outcomes of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Nanjing BenQ Medical Center, The Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for coronary heart disease, but ongoing care post-discharge is crucial for patient recovery.
- This study compared two groups of 90 PCI patients: one receiving continuous nursing care via WeChat and a control group, assessing outcomes like complications, lifestyle changes, and psychological health after one year.
- Results showed that the WeChat group had fewer complications, better lifestyle changes like smoking and alcohol cessation, and improved psychological status, suggesting that this method enhances post-PCI care and patient quality of life.
Case report: Complications after using the "blind-stitch" method in a dairy cow with a left displaced abomasum: treatment, outcome, and economic evaluation.
Front Vet Sci
November 2024
Clinic for Ruminants and Swine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- - A 4th lactation dairy cow had complications after an unsuccessful treatment for a left displaced abomasum (LDA) using the "blind-stitch" method, leading to abnormal health signs and inflammation at the incision site.
- - After administering antibiotics and fluids, the cow underwent a laparotomy and omentopexy surgery to resolve adhesion issues, and was monitored before being discharged two weeks later.
- - The cow produced 18,000 kg of milk post-treatment, with total costs for both interventions at 1,207 €, alongside an estimated revenue loss of 4,168 € due to complications, highlighting the need for careful method selection for LDA corrections.
The risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with concomitant proton pump inhibitor administration during dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and prasugrel: a retrospective single-center study.
J Pharm Health Care Sci
November 2024
Department of Medicinal Therapy Research, Pharmaceutical Education and Research Center, Meiji Pharmaceutical University, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) are frequently prescribed after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) placement. However, studies that evaluate the optimal PPI when used as primary prevention in patients without a history of peptic ulcer disease or upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), particularly in the context of DAPT involving prasugrel, are lacking. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of PPI use in preventing UGIB in this patient population.

Treatments such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are crucial for managing CAD. While CABG is often preferred for complex cases, many patients require PCI due to graft failure or new blockages post-CABG.

Department of Anesthesiology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
