Objectives: The inferior vena cava (IVC) is one of the most frequent injured intra-abdominal vessels and its treatment requires prompt action. Despite advances in reanimation in last decades, there has not been proportional improvement in IVC mortality. This report aims to discuss the mortality predictive factors including the adherence to balanced reanimation and damage control surgery (DCS) in daily trauma assistance, their repercussions on outcomes, comparing our institution outcomes to literature.

Objective: To establish a classification system which differentiates cystic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (cystic IPNB) from hepatic mucinous cystic tumors (MCN) based on their radiological difference.

Methods: A total of 75 patients pathologically diagnosed as MCN and IPNB in two major hospitals from 2015 to 2024 were enrolled. Radiological features were recorded and compared between these two tumors.

Background: The translocation of gingival commensals resulting in measurable systemic inflammation has been described in humans and non-equine veterinary species with dental disorders, particularly periodontal disease. Routine odontoplasty does not result in increased serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration in horses, but a measurable increase in SAA concentration in horses undergoing dental extractions could suggest that local inflammation resulting from more severe dental disease has potential for wider, systemic consequences that warrants further study.

Objectives: To determine whether SAA increases in horses undergoing simple, oral extraction of non-fractured cheek teeth with and without periodontal disease.

Inferior vena CAVA and lung ultraSound-guided therapy in acute heart failure: A randomized pilot study (CAVAL US-AHF study).

Am Heart J

November 2024

Heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and heart transplant division, Instituto Cardiovascular de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Background: The optimal assessment of systemic and lung decongestion during acute heart failure is not clearly defined. We evaluated whether inferior vena cava (IVC) and pulmonary ultrasound (CAVAL US) guided therapy is superior to standard care in reducing subclinical congestion at discharge in patients with AHF.

Methods: CAVAL US-AHF was an investigator-initiated, single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
  • Fatigue is a significant and often overlooked symptom in Crohn's disease, and the study evaluated how the medication mirikizumab affects this symptom over a 104-week period.
  • A total of 191 patients were included, with different dosages of mirikizumab administered, and fatigue levels were measured using the FACIT-F questionnaire.
  • Results showed that patients receiving mirikizumab reported significant and sustained improvements in fatigue and quality of life, with better fatigue scores correlating well with improvements in clinical measures, but not with inflammation markers.
