The evidence base evaluating the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in complex, high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention is evolving from a small number of randomised clinical trials to incorporate an amassing body of real-world data. Due to both the growing incidence of the procedures and the limitations of the evidence, there is wide variability in the use of MCS, and the benefits are actively debated. The goal of this review is to perform an integrated analysis of randomised and non-randomised studies which have informed clinical and regulatory decision-making in contemporary clinical practice. In addition, we describe forthcoming studies that have been specifically designed to advance the field and resolve ongoing controversies that remain unanswered for this complex, high-risk patient population.

Closed-Incision Negative Pressure Wound Dressing Improves Outcomes in Obese Aseptic Revision Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

J Arthroplasty

March 2025

Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement Service, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery; Stavros Niarchos Foundation Complex Joint Reconstruction Center, Hospital For Special Surgery, New York, NY 10021, United States.

Background: The burden of revision total joint arthroplasty (rTJA) is increasing. Revision procedures are associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications. Obese patients undergoing rTJA may have a higher risk of wound complications due to their soft-tissue envelope.

The thrombotic physiopathology of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic. While venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the most common initial presentation, arterial thrombotic events (ATE) become more frequent in advanced stages and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs), thrombotic APS remains associated with a high risk of recurrent thrombosis.

Prediction of Flares in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus During Post-Remission Follow-up.

J Inflamm Res

March 2025

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College; National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases (NCRC-DID), Ministry of Science and Technology; State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital; Key Laboratory of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Ministry of Education, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Patients at high risk of SLE flares benefit from being identified before flares; this can be done by predictors of flares. This study aimed to explore the predictive factors and model of SLE flares after remission, providing basis for clinical decision-making.

Patients And Methods: SLE patients recruited at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), were all registered in the Chinese SLE treatment and research (CSTAR) registry cohort and had experienced at least one remission before December 31, 2020.

This case report highlights the challenges of managing laryngospasm during emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Laryngospasm, a serious complication of anesthesia, causes involuntary laryngeal muscle contractions that obstruct the airway and can lead to hypoxemia, unconsciousness, or death if untreated. A 39-year-old obese woman presented with acute abdominal pain and symptoms of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

An overview of obesity-related complications: The epidemiological evidence linking body weight and other markers of obesity to adverse health outcomes.

Diabetes Obes Metab

March 2025

Helmholtz Institute for Metabolic, Obesity and Vascular Research (HI-MAG) of the Helmholtz Zentrum München, University of Leipzig and University Hospital Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.

Obesity is a highly prevalent chronic multisystem disease associated with shortened life expectancy due to a number of adverse health outcomes. Epidemiological data link body weight and parameters of central fat distribution to an increasing risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, obstructive sleep apnoea, osteoarthritis, mental disorders and some types of cancer. However, the individual risk to develop cardiometabolic and other obesity-related diseases cannot entirely be explained by increased fat mass.
