Objective: To study the results of endovenous laser obliteration (EVLO) for acute thrombophlebitis of saphenous veins of the lower extremities.
Material And Methods: There were 57 patients (39 (68%) men and 18 (32%) women), mean age of patients was 54±20 years (range 34-74) with acute ascending thrombophlebitis of varicose superficial veins of the lower extremities (type I and II). EVLO of great saphenous vein was performed in 48 cases, small saphenous vein - in 9 patients. All EVLO procedures were carried out in outpatient fashion without hospitalization to the hospital.
Results: Complete obliteration of the target vein confirmed by ultrasound was observed in all patients the next day after surgery. Smooth course in long-term period (up to 1 year) was also noted in all patients. Recanalization of previously obliterated venous segment was absent.
Conclusion: EVLO a safe and reliable alternative to traditional surgical approach for acute ascending thrombophlebitis. This technique is followed by reduced incidence of recurrent thrombophlebitis, no injuries typical for conventional surgery, minimal postoperative hospital-stay and pain syndrome. The procedure is characterized by minimal trauma, favorable cosmetic result and does not require hospitalization to specialized hospitals. EVLO for thrombophlebitis of varicose veins results high economic benefits due to minimally invasive simultaneous treatment of varicose veins and thrombophlebitis with small incidence of recurrences and complications.

Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors are highly valued, but the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors is not clear.
Objective: Our aim was therefore to assess the risk of developing CVAEs associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors, by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), along with a pharmacovigilance study of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
Methods: Eligible CVAEs were extracted from the ClinicalTrials.

After clinical evaluation, especially clinical prediction rules, appropriately ordered venous duplex has become the standard test for evaluating and excluding deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Ultrasound is useful for lower- and upper-extremity veins. Protocols include grayscale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) characteristics in elderly patients (65 years and older) across nine hospitals in the Paris-Ile-de-France region from 2011 to 2021.
- Researchers found that the annual incidence of CVT in this demographic was lower compared to the national average, with headaches and focal deficits being the most common initial symptoms.
- The results indicated that elderly patients had a distinct clinical profile, with higher rates of underlying conditions like cancer and a worse prognosis than younger adults, highlighting the need for specialized care in this age group.

Article Synopsis
- External Jugular Thrombophlebitis (EJT) is a rare condition, especially in children, and this case report discusses a 13-year-old with right-sided EJT linked to acute pharyngitis and left-sided sinusitis.
- The patient presented with worsening upper respiratory symptoms, facial swelling, and was diagnosed with sinusitis and external jugular vein thrombosis after imaging was conducted.
- The treatment included IV antibiotics and anticoagulation, leading to improvement, and follow-up showed no recurrence of EJT, highlighting the importance of recognizing EJT symptoms in conjunction with respiratory infections.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the incidence and risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with hematologic cancers to understand their higher risk of thrombosis.* -
- An analysis of 94 patients showed a 11.7% incidence of superficial vein thrombosis and 7.4% for deep vein thrombosis, with those who developed thrombosis experiencing longer hospital stays and more frequent admissions.* -
- The findings highlight the need for a standardized risk scoring system to effectively identify patients with multiple risk factors to improve thrombosis prevention strategies.*
