The issues of effective treatment of ischemic stroke (IS) are relevant, since it leads to a high percentage of disability and mortality throughout the world. The article presents 4 cases of patients with various pathogenetic variants of IS that developed against the background of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 (degree of lung damage: CT-0 and CT1). Due to the presence of symptomatic occlusion of a large artery, these patients successfully underwent cerebral angiography followed by mechanical thrombus extraction (MTE), after which a significant improvement in neurological symptoms was observed. Results of the pathohistochemical examination of intraoperative material are presented. Patients were followed-up for 3 months. Despite the successful outcome of MTE in these cases, the impact of COVID-19 on the long-term prognosis of stroke patients after MTE remains to be determined. The results of treatment of patients with IS and COVID-19 who underwent MTE should be presented in larger and preferably prospective and multicenter studies.

Purpose: The significance of pancreatitis-associated hemorrhage outside the context of a ruptured pseudoaneurysm remains unclear. This study aims to characterize the clinical significance of pancreatic hemorrhage during acute pancreatitis (AP).
Methods: This retrospective study included adult patients diagnosed with hemorrhagic pancreatitis (HP) from 2010 to 2021.

Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, poses an emerging threat as it can lead to colorectal cancer, thrombosis, and other chronic conditions. The present study demonstrated the protective effects of peanut sprout extracts (PSEs) prepared from day 2 to day 7 of germination against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced epithelial barrier breakdown. Although the peanut sprout length increased in a time-dependent manner from day 1 to day 7, the extraction yields remained relatively consistent from day 2 to day 7.

Background Patients with hip fractures tend to have a poor prognosis. Although guideline-compliant practices are known to improve patient outcomes, there is a lack of evidence regarding the use of intervention to improve guideline adherence in hip fracture patients. The objective of our study was to evaluate guideline adherence by internists providing care to patients with hip fractures, using a protocol developed based on various guidelines.

Background: A unique form of Hemophilia B (HB) is HB Leyden. We evaluated the International PedNet Registry database to explore the natural history of HB Leyden, investigate genotype-phenotype associations and guide clinical decision-making.
Objectives: To assess the association between genetic variants, endogenous factor (FIX) levels over time, treatment and bleeding phenotype in children with HB Leyden.

Objective This study aims to utilize the TriNetX database, a comprehensive global network, to improve our understanding of the frequency, demographic factors, and related comorbidities of surgical patients who develop venous thromboembolism (VTEs) events. Methods The global collaborative network in TriNetX was queried for all cases from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2023. International Classification for Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the upper or lower extremity or pulmonary embolism (PE).
