Introduction: To compare the various perioperative outcomes in an urgent surgery setting among patients with proximal femur fracture (PFF) who received platelet aggregation inhibitors (PAIs) and those who did not.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 1,838 patients who underwent surgery for PFF between January 2011 and January 2021. We conducted 1:1 propensity-score matching and compared the perioperative outcomes, including operation time, postoperative complications, hospital stay, mortality, and variables related to bleeding risk (e.g., number of transfusion profiles, hemoglobin levels, and laboratory data, including coagulation battery).
Results: Of the 492 patients who were treated with PAIs, 484 were 1:1 matched to the untreated control group. The PAI group showed shorter operation time than the matched control group (72.3 min for PAI vs. 77.7 min for control; P = 0.041), and the control group showed more pulmonary thromboembolism (0.2% for PAI vs 1.7% for control; P = 0.046) than the PAI group. The other complications and length of hospital stay, mortality rate, transfusion profile, and the laboratory test (except preoperative international normalized ratio, INR) showed no significant difference between the groups. Subgroup analyses of the patients treated with only aspirin (aspirin: 306, matched control: 306), only clopidogrel (clopidogrel: 100, matched control: 100), and others who were treated with dual anticoagulation (dual anticoagulation: 78, matched control: 78) showed no significant differences in perioperative outcomes among the groups.
Conclusion: The patients who were treated with PAI could undergo PFF surgery safely without delay, which led to no significant difference in operation time, postoperative complication risk, perioperative blood transfusion, and variables related to bleeding risk. Therefore, we believe that it is unnecessary to delay surgery for patients with PFF who receive PAI.

Significance of adding chemotherapy to radiotherapy in the treatment of T2N0 glottic cancer.

The prognosis for T2N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is generally favorable, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 79%-96% achieved with radiotherapy (RT), the standard nonsurgical treatment for this condition. However, the local control rate for T2N0 glottic SCC treated with RT remains suboptimal, with a 5-year local control rate of only 65%-80%. Local residual disease or recurrence following RT for T2N0 glottic SCC often leads to difficulties in laryngeal preservation.

Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the epidemiologic threats and factors associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis (CAM) epidemic that emerged in Egypt during the second COVID-19 wave. The study also aimed to explore the diagnostic features and the role of surgical interventions of CAM on the outcome of the disease in a central referral hospital.
Methodology: The study included 64 CAM patients from a referral hospital for CAM and a similar number of matched controls from COVID-19 patients who did not develop CAM.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor's professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China.

To investigate the correlation between uterine volume and intrauterine adhesion (IUA). From June 2018 to November 2019, totally 7 007 patients who underwent hysteroscopy in outpatient operating rooms of Gynecological Minimally Invasive Center, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were retrospectively analyzed Patients of reproductive age with IUA without uterine fibroids and adenomyosis were selected as IUA group, and patients of reproductive age without uterine fibroids and adenomyosis without IUA during the same period were selected as the control group. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to perform 1∶1 matching for the two groups of patients, matching variables included age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), gravidity, parity, and number of abortion curettage.
