Delayed cerebral ischemia, one of the most common complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, was strongly related to poor patient outcomes. However, there are currently no clear guidelines to provide clinical guidance for post-craniotomy management. Our research aims to explore the association between cumulative blood pressure exposure during the early brain injury phase and the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction and rebleeding following surgical aneurysm clipping.

This study investigates radiomic efficacy in post-surgical traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), overcoming MRI limitations from metal artifacts to enhance diagnosis, severity assessment, and lesion characterization or prognosis and therapy guidance. Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe neurological deficits. While MRI allows qualitative injury evaluation, standard imaging alone has limitations for precise SCI diagnosis, severity stratification, and pathology characterization, which are needed to guide prognosis and therapy.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receiving adjuvant capecitabine, the impact of HER2 expression on survival outcomes is unclear.

Methods:  Between June 2017 and December 2023, 112 patients with TNBC who received adjuvant capecitabine due to residual masses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in three hospitals were identified. HER2 is analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or in situ hybridization in the core biopsy and/or post-surgical histopathologies.

Alcohol-based antisepsis without the use of chlorhexidine for arthroscopy in horses.

J Equine Vet Sci

December 2024

Alcohol-based antisepsis has shown experimentally to be as effective as 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) at reducing bacterial counts (colony forming units; CFU) on equine skin. Our objectives were to determine the immediate and post-surgical reduction in CFU/mL on equine skin prepared with CHG-based or 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-based (without CHG) protocols in a clinical setting with arthroscopic surgery. Our hypotheses were that the logCFU/mL reduction would not significantly differ between protocols immediately after preparation or at the end of surgery.

Mortality Rate and Its Contributing Factors in Post-Surgical and Medical Patients with AKI Underwent CRRT.

Tanaffos

January 2024

Chronic Respiratory Diseases Research Center (CRDRC), National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NRITLD), Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requires continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), which is one of the most important problems in medical and surgical patients. Therefore, it is very important to identify the influencing factors to reduce the dimensions of the problem. This study was conducted to investigate the mortality rate in medical and surgical patients with AKI requiring CRRT treatment.
