: Blunt thoracic trauma possesses unique physiopathological traits due to the complex interaction of immune and coagulation systems in the lung tissue. Hemogram-based ratios such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte × platelet (NLPR) ratios have been studied as proxies for immune dysregulation and survival in trauma. We hypothesized that blunt thoracic trauma patients exhibit distinct patterns of coagulation and inflammation abnormalities identifiable by the use of readily available hemogram-derived markers.

Background And Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is a critical global vascular disease. Accurately assessing and predicting the efficacy of DVT treatment remains a significant challenge due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms by which the level of patient-specific embolization and the rate of drug injection affect thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: In this study, we used the computed tomographic venography (CTV) clinical method to obtain patient-specific parameters, and the flow-solid interaction (FSI) method combined with biochemical response modeling of thrombolysis to analyze patient-specific hemodynamic and biomechanical characteristics and to quantitatively assess the effects of three vessel embolism levels (VEL) versus two drug injection rates (DIR) on bifurcated femoral venous thrombolytic therapy.

Treatment options for patients with severe pulmonary embolism (PE) have increased substantially over the past decade. Although systemic thrombolysis is still the reperfusion therapy of choice for hemodynamically unstable PE patients, several new catheter guided reperfusion therapies have emerged as possibly safer alternatives. These therapies are increasingly implemented in clinical practice even though their efficacy and safety are yet to be proven by clinical outcome studies.

Objective: Early thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke within the therapeutic window is associated with improved clinical outcomes. This study investigated whether optimizing intravenous thrombolytic (IVT) therapy strategies for stroke could reduce treatment delays.
Methods: To reduce delays in IVT therapy for ischemic stroke, a series of quality improvement measures were implemented at a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, from June 2021 to August 2023, which included developing a timeline process management system, forming a nurse-led stroke process management team, providing homogeneous training, standardizing the IVT therapy process for ischemic stroke, and introducing an incentive policy.

Background: Frailty-the loss of physiological reserve to withstand a stressor event-is associated with poorer outcomes following acute stroke reperfusion therapies. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are poorly understood. This study investigated the association between frailty and penumbral volumes in hyperacute ischemic stroke.
