Objective: The goal of this study is to analyze the applicability of the patent blue dye and air in the preoperative marking of impalpable mammary lesions with indication of surgical resection.
Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed. We selected 49 patients with detection of impalpable lesions on a breast mammography or breast ultrasonography. The patients received the dye injection as close to their surgery time as possible. The criteria analyzed included: 1) complete marking and identification of the lesion; 2) complete removal of the lesion; 3) in cases of malignant lesions, presence of free margins for successful surgery; 4) occurrence of allergic events; 5) necessity of reoperation; and 6) difficulty in locating lesions.
Results: All lesions were marked, and they were successfully excised. In cases of malignancy, free margins were obtained in 100% of the cases. There were no allergic events or reoperations. Only 8.9% of the lesions were difficult to locate.
Conclusion: The marking with patent blue and air is an effective alternative for the labeling of impalpable breast lesions, and it has satisfactory surgical oncology results. All lesions were resected, 91.1% of them were performed with no difficulties, and free margins were obtained in 100% of cases of malignancy.

A Case of Acquired Methemoglobinemia Following Sentinel Lymph Node Dye With Patent Blue V.

Methemoglobinemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in which hemoglobin is oxidized, impairing the oxygen-carrying capacity. While congenital forms exist, acquired methemoglobinemia can occur in perioperative settings, especially following exposure to oxidizing agents such as dyes used in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Patent Blue V, a synthetic aniline dye commonly used for SLNB, has been associated with rare but serious adverse effects, including methemoglobinemia.

Background: The relationship between the extent and severity of stress-induced ischemia and the extent and severity of anatomic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with obstructive CAD is multifactorial and includes the intensity of stress achieved, type of testing used, presence and extent of prior infarction, collateral blood flow, plaque characteristics, microvascular disease, coronary vasomotor tone, and genetic factors. Among chronic coronary disease participants with site-determined moderate or severe ischemia, we investigated associations between ischemia severity on stress testing and the extent of CAD on coronary computed tomography angiography.
Methods: Clinically indicated stress testing included nuclear imaging, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or nonimaging exercise tolerance test.

Article Synopsis
- Inadvertent intraneural injections during peripheral nerve blocks are common, and this study compares two detection methods: injection pressure monitoring and ultrasound imaging.
- The research involved anesthesiologists conducting intraneural injections on fresh cadaver arms, measuring both pressure and sonographic images to evaluate outcomes.
- Results showed that pressure monitoring detected intraneural injection much earlier than ultrasound (after just 0.2 mL vs. 1.2 mL for swelling), confirming that pressure monitoring is a more sensitive technique.
Finerenone, Obesity, and Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced/Preserved Ejection Fraction: Prespecified Analysis of FINEARTS-HF.

Background: Obesity is associated with excessive adipocyte-derived aldosterone secretion, independent of the classical renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists may be more effective in patients with heart failure (HF) and obesity.
Objectives: This study sought to examine the effects of the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone compared with placebo, according to body mass index (BMI) in FINEARTS-HF (FINerenone trial to investigate Efficacy and sAfety superioR to placebo in paTientS with Heart Failure).
Methods: A total of 6,001 patients with HF with NYHA functional class II, III, and IV, a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≥40%, evidence of structural heart disease, and elevated natriuretic peptide levels were randomized to finerenone or placebo.
