Complete versus incomplete revascularization in patients with a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Analysis from the e-ULTIMASTER registry.

Background: Incomplete revascularization (ICR) has been associated with a worse prognosis after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In NSTEMI patients with multivessel disease (MVD) however, the benefit of a complete revascularization (CR) remains unclear.

Methods: Patients presenting with an NSTEMI and MVD were selected from the global e-ULTIMASTER registry and grouped according to completeness of revascularization at index hospitalization discharge.

Management of granulomatous lobular mastitis: an international multidisciplinary consensus (2021 edition).

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM.

Impact of peripheral artery disease on prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention: Outcomes from the multicenter prospective e-ULTIMASTER registry.

Background And Aims: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) represent a high risk group, and have an increased risk of cardiovascular events and worse cardiovascular outcomes. Our aim was to study the impact of PAD among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a newer-generation thin-strut DES.

Methods: In this analysis of the e-ULTIMASTER registry, patients with and without known PAD undergoing PCI were compared.

Evolving patterns of care and outcomes in relapsed/refractory FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia adult patients.

We have analyzed treatment patterns and outcomes of relapsed/refractory(R/R) AML adult patients registered in our institutional data base between 1998 and 2018. Overall, 147 patients were evaluable: 34 from 1998 to 2009, 113 from 2010 to 2018. Salvage treatments were intensive chemotherapy ( = 25, 74%), and supportive care ( = 9, 26%) in the 1998-2009 period, and intensive chemotherapy ( = 63, 56%), hypomethylating agent ( = 7, 6%), low-dose cytarabine-based ( = 8, 7%), clinical trial ( = 16, 14%) and supportive care ( = 19, 17%) in the 2010-2018 period.

One-year performance of thin-strut cobalt chromium sirolimus-eluting stent versus thicker strut stainless steel biolimus-eluting coronary stent: a propensity-matched analysis of two international all-comers registries.

Objectives: Recent improvements in coronary stent design have focussed on thinner struts, different alloys and architecture, more biocompatible polymers, and shorter drug absorption times. This study evaluates safety and efficacy of a newer generation thin-strut cobalt chromium sirolimus-eluting coronary stent (SES, Ultimaster) in comparison with a second-generation thicker strut stainless steel biolimus-eluting stent (BES, Nobori) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice.

Methods: A propensity score analysis was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics of 8137 SES patients and 2738 BES patients of two PCI registries (e-Ultimaster and NOBORI 2).

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: A systematic review of 3060 patients.

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign breast disease. A systematic review was designed. Clinical and therapeutic characteristics were analyzed.

High prognostic value of measurable residual disease detection by flow cytometry in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients treated with front-line fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab, followed by three years of rituximab maintenance.

It has been postulated that monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) could be used as a surrogate marker of progression-free survival (PFS) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients after treatment with immunochemotherapy regimens. In this study, we analyzed the outcome of 84 patients at 3 years of follow-up after first-line treatment with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) induction followed by 36 months of rituximab maintenance thearpy. MRD was assessed by a quantitative four-color flow cytometry panel with a sensitivity level of 10 Eighty out of 84 evaluable patients (95.

Primary esophageal melanoma: report of a case.

Introduction: Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus is a rare tumor representing only 0.1-0.2% of esophageal malignancies.

Short-term results for laparoscopic repair of large paraesophageal hiatal hernias with Gore Bio A® mesh.

Background: The application of mesh-reinforced hiatal closure has resulted in a significant reduction in recurrence rates in comparison with primary suture repair. One of the most debated issues is the risk of complications related to the use of the prosthesis, such as esophageal erosion and postoperative dysphagia. The aim of this study is to present our short-terms results in the treatment of laparoscopic paraesophageal hiatal hernia (LPHH) with a synthetic polyglycolic acid:trimethylene carbonate mesh (Gore Bio A(®)).

Maintenance of the response to dimethyl sulfoxide treatment using hyperbaric oxygen in interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome: a prospective, randomized, comparative study.

Introduction: Interstitial cystitis (IC)/painful bladder syndrome (PBS) is a difficult disease to manage and creates critical limitations in patients' daily lives. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the maintenance of response after the administration of intravesical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Materials And Methods: We conducted an open, prospective, randomized, comparative pilot study with women diagnosed with IC/PBS according to the European Society for the Study of Interstitial Cystitis criteria.

Delay in seeking treatment by patients with stroke: who decides, where they go, and how long it takes.

Objectives: To find out about stroke patients: who decides to seek medical help, where they go, how long it takes to contact the health system and to arrive at the ED.

Methods: Prospective study of patients admitted in our hospital for transient or established stroke.

Results: Among 388 stroke patients (mean NIHSS of 7.

[Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in severe pneumonia due to H1N1 virus].

Objective: The use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation was evaluated in our series of patients admitted to our ICU with pneumonia due to influenza A virus H1N1, assessing the need for intubation, arterial blood gases and clinical improvement, the development of complications and ICU and hospital stay.

[Visual episodes in non-ketonic hyperglycemia: contribution of 1 case with alteration in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging].

Introduction: Non-ketonic hyperglycemia (NKH) is recognized both as a direct cause of a precipitating factor of many types of epileptic seizures-partial motor, including partial motor status, complex partial, as well as reflex motor seizures and hemichorea-hemibalism syndrome. Less known is its association with isolated visual alterations. We present a clinical case with visual episodes and diffusion restriction.
