: Acute stent thrombosis (ST) is a rare yet severe complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Herein, we investigated the possible association between routinely available coagulation and fibrinolysis markers with early ST. : Within a single-center registry, we investigated the association between the preprocedural platelet count, plasma levels of fibrinogen and D-Dimer, and the incidence of early ST in the first 30 days after PCI.

Association of ABO blood group with risk of coronary stent thrombosis.

Int J Cardiol

February 2025

Department of Internal Medicine II, Division of Cardiology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria; Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Cardiovascular Research, Vienna, Austria. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the link between ABO blood groups and the risk of early stent thrombosis in patients who underwent coronary interventions, focusing particularly on non-O blood groups and their association with cardiovascular issues.
  • Among 10,714 patients, only 0.73% experienced early stent thrombosis, and while non-O blood groups weren't significantly linked, those with B-antigens (B and AB blood types) showed a higher risk for early thrombosis compared to O type.
  • The findings suggest that B-antigen presence is a notable factor in early stent thrombosis risk, indicating a need for more research to understand the biological mechanisms behind this relationship.

Plast Reconstr Surg

October 2024

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hospital of St. John of God, Paracelsus Medical University, Kajetanerplatz 1, 5020 Salzburg, AUSTRIA.

Article Synopsis
  • The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is the standard method for breast reconstruction, but it can lead to complications like herniation and is time-consuming due to muscle dissection.
  • The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap has limited use in breast reconstructions compared to DIEP and SIEAflaps.
  • A new technique called the superficial circumflex iliac artery superficial branch perforator (SCISP) flap offers a safer alternative by avoiding incision of the rectus fascia and successfully reconstructing breasts in patients with small to medium sizes.

Emesis as a Risk Factor for Postoperative Hematoma in Abdominoplasty: A Retrospective Study in 189 Cases.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

July 2024

From the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hospital of St. John of God, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.

Article Synopsis
  • Abdominoplasty, a popular aesthetic procedure, has a higher risk of complications, particularly postoperative nausea and vomiting, which can lead to significant issues such as reopening of ligated vessels and increased intraabdominal pressure.
  • A study analyzed data from 189 patients who underwent abdominoplasty from 2017 to 2019, comparing those who experienced vomiting after surgery to those who did not, focusing on the development of postoperative hematoma.
  • Results showed that 62.5% of patients with vomiting developed a hematoma, compared to only 9.25% of those without vomiting, highlighting that postoperative vomiting significantly increases the hematoma risk in abdominoplasty patients.

Background: Children with congenital heart defects (CHD) are at risk for a range of developmental disabilities that challenge cognition, executive functioning, self-regulation, communication, social-emotional functioning, and motor skills. Ongoing developmental surveillance is therefore key to maximizing neurodevelopmental outcome opportunities. It is crucial that the measures used cover the spectrum of neurodevelopmental domains relevant to capturing possible predictors and malleable factors of child development.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage who were on factor Xa inhibitors were studied to evaluate the effectiveness of andexanet alfa in reversing hematoma expansion compared to usual care.
  • In a clinical trial, 263 patients received andexanet while 267 received standard treatment, focusing on hemostatic efficacy and safety outcomes.
  • Results showed that andexanet significantly improved hemostatic efficacy (67% vs. 53%) and substantially reduced anti-factor Xa activity, but also led to more thrombotic events (10.3% vs. 5.6% in usual care).

Article Synopsis
  • Stent thrombosis is a rare but serious complication that can occur after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially when patients show signs of acute inflammation.
  • In a study of 6880 patients undergoing PCI, those with elevated inflammatory markers had a nearly threefold increased risk of experiencing early stent thrombosis within 30 days.
  • The findings suggest that if there are indicators of acute inflammation, elective PCI should be postponed, and further research is necessary for those with acute coronary syndrome.

Unlabelled: This systematic review investigates the current state of the literature on the association between social communication (SC) skills and mental health outcomes in children and young adults. We ran searches using terms describing SC and mental health in the following databases: PubMed, the Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, APA PsychInfo, the Education Resource Information Center (ERIC) and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). We included studies that both measured SC before age 21 years and assessed a mental health component, such as behavior/conduct problems, anxiety, depression, or emotional problems, before age 30.
