Cannulation is a potentially complex event in the conduct of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for patients with severe respiratory failure. The purpose of this article is to describe our approach to cannulation and its complications. A single-center, retrospective, observational cohort, electronic note review study of patients commenced on VV-ECMO for severe respiratory failure. We identified 348 cannulae placed in 179 patients commenced on VV-ECMO from December 2011 to March 2015. All cannulations were successful. There were no deaths related to cannulation, and complications included one arterial injury, one cardiac tamponade, two cases of venous insufficiency, and five cannula site infections. Percutaneous cannulation for VV-ECMO can be achieved with a high degree of success and low complication rate by intensivists using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance.

Clinical Evaluation of Faricimab in Real-World Diabetic Macular Edema in India- A Multicenter Observational Study.
Clin Ophthalmol
January 2025
Nethralayam Superspeciality Eye Care, Kolkata, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of faricimab in real-world clinical settings in India for treating diabetic macular edema (DME) in treatment-naïve and recalcitrant eyes.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study involved 39 eyes (16 treatment-naive and 23 recalcitrant) treated with intravitreal faricimab at four centers in India. Patients received three monthly loading doses followed by a pro-re-nata regimen, with outcomes measured for best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), and hyperreflective foci (HRF).

The association between primary frozen shoulder and serum lipids may be overestimated: evidence based on retrospective observational studies and Mendelian randomization.

Background: Previous studies have shown that dyslipidemia is significantly associated with primary frozen shoulder and may be a risk factor for the development of primary frozen shoulder. However, these findings may be biased by a number of confounding factors. We investigated the association between serum lipids and primary frozen shoulder by retrospective analysis and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.

Objectives: Although curative resection for synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis has been reported to improve prognosis, cases with positive intraoperative lavage cytology have not been reported. In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of potentially curative resection based on colorectal cancer and lavage cytology positivity in patients with synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients who underwent intraoperative lavage cytology and one-stage potentially curative resection of primary and metastatic lesions (lavage cytology-positive, n = 21; lavage cytology-negative, n = 51) between July 2004 and December 2019.
Short- and Long-term Outcomes of One-stage Radical Resection and Anastomosis without Preoperative Decompression and Diverting Stoma between Incomplete Obstructive and Non-obstructive Left-sided Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and long-term outcomes of a one-stage resection and anastomosis approach without preoperative decompression in patients with left-sided incomplete obstructive colorectal cancer.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 571 patients diagnosed with pT3-4NanyM0 left-sided colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection and primary anastomosis without preoperative decompression or a diverting stoma from April 2012 to December 2019. Of these, 97 (17%) patients presented with incomplete obstruction, while 474 (83%) had no obstruction.
