Image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) is the standard of care procedure for tissue diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions. While complications are exceedingly rare, the most common complications include bleeding and hematoma formation. With an increasing number of patients on anticoagulation therapy (AT), it is important to determine whether continuation of these medications during CNB increases bleeding risk. While previous studies have demonstrated the safety in continuation of AT during CNB, American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines recommend practitioners decide whether cessation is necessary on a case-by-case basis as this may put patients at risk for thromboembolic events. The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature on anticoagulation and bleeding risk during CNB to guide clinical practice.

A rare intersection: squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil and the anti-TIF1 syndrome masquerade.
BMC Rheumatol

Department of Rheumatology, Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, Shreveport, LA, USA.
Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

Background: Spacer-type tibial osteotomy have been proven a novel and effective osteotomy to treat osteoarthritis, while lack of comparison with other surgical methods in younger patients. This study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of spacer-type tibial osteotomy versus open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3-4 osteoarthritis (OA) in patients younger than 65 years.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed a total of 224 patients with K-L grade 3-4 knee OA treated from March 2018 to November 2020.

Department of Anesthesiology, Japanese Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital, 2-1-1, Nagamine-Minami, Higashi-Ku, Kumamoto, 861-8520, Japan.
Background: Simultaneous cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries can be beneficial for patients, but there are still few reports on this approach.
Case Presentation: A 90-year-old woman was diagnosed with a femoral trochanteric fracture and severe aortic stenosis. A heart team conference decided to perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and femoral osteosynthesis under general anesthesia on the same day.
Secondary Prevention of Stroke in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.

Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University.
Aims: Evidence supporting the prescription of anticoagulant therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been limited, and its clinical application in this context remains controversial.
Methods: We identified AF patients with advanced CKD (G4-G5) and a history of stroke who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2023. Patients were classified into warfarin, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), antiplatelet therapy, and control (no antithrombotic therapy) groups.
