Objective: Selective angioembolization (SAE) effectively diagnoses and treats iatrogenic vascular complications following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1329 consecutive PCNLs and identified patients who underwent SAE following PCNL with at least 12-month follow-up. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated for all patients preoperatively, postoperatively and at last follow-up. A 1:2 matched cohort analysis was performed.
Results: Twenty-three patients underwent SAE and matched to 46 controls. There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up eGFR when comparing patients who underwent SAE and those with an uneventful course.
Conclusion: Long-term eGFR is comparable in patients who undergo uncomplicated PCNL and those requiring SAE.

Intelligent Analgesia Management System in Postoperative Pain Management: A Retrospective Analysis.
J Perianesth Nurs
January 2025
Department of Nursing, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effect of an intelligent analgesia management system on postoperative pain management and the working mode of acute pain service.
Design: This is a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: A total of 584 patients who underwent laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anesthesia and voluntarily received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) between January 2018 and April 2020 at our hospital were selected.
Can ICD Electrograms Help Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation?: Results From the Multicenter Randomized AIDEG-VTA Trial.

Background: The results of ablation of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) are suboptimal. For many patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), ICD electrograms (ICD-EGs) provide the only available information on SMVT. ICD-EGs have the ability to distinguish morphologically distinct SMVT and can be used for pace mapping.

November 2024
British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence, the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Background: Myocardial fibrosis is a key healing response after myocardial infarction driven by activated fibroblasts. Gallium-68-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor ([Ga]-FAPI) is a novel positron-emitting radiotracer that binds activated fibroblasts.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the intensity, distribution, and time-course of fibroblast activation after acute myocardial infarction.
The Nonsyndromic Ascending Thoracic Aorta in a Population-Based Setting: A 5-Year Prospective Cohort Study.

November 2024
Elite Centre for Individualized Medicine in Arterial Disease, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Prospective data on the clinical course of the ascending thoracic aorta are lacking.
Objectives: This study sought to estimate growth rates of the ascending aorta and to evaluate occurrences of adverse aortic events (AAEs)-that is, thoracic aortic ruptures, type A aortic dissections, and thoracic aortic-related deaths.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study from the population-based, multicenter, randomized DANCAVAS (Danish Cardiovascular Screening trials) I and II, participants underwent cardiovascular risk assessments including electrocardiogram-gated, noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans.
Preserved Finger Flexion in Brachial Plexus Total Lesion: A Study of 16 Cases Among 989 Surgical Patients.
J Hand Surg Am
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Nossa Senhora da Conceição Hospital, Tubarão, Brazil.
Purpose: Brachial plexus traction injuries have conventionally been categorized as involving the C5-C6, C5-C7, C5-T1, and C8-T1 roots. In this article, we report a distinct clinical presentation of brachial plexus injury characterized by intact finger flexion with signs of complete brachial plexus injury.
Methods: From 2010 to 2022, 989 patients who sustained brachial plexus injuries were examined and underwent surgery.
