Evidence-based Management of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
Eur Cardiol
December 2023
Department of Cardiology, Parc Taulí Hospital Universitari Sabadell, Spain.
Left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to the large myocardial mass at risk. Although medical treatment may be an option in selected low-risk patients, revascularisation is recommended to improve survival in the majority of patients presenting with a significant left main stenosis. In the past decade, multiple randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses have compared coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), finding controversial results.

Scope: The aim of the guidelines is to provide recommendations on perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) in adult inpatients who are carriers of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) before surgery.
Methods: These evidence-based guidelines were developed after a systematic review of published studies on PAP targeting the following MDR-GNB: extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), aminoglycoside-resistant Enterobacterales, fluoroquinolone-resistant Enterobacterales, cotrimoxazole-resistant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), extremely drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, colistin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, and pan-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The critical outcomes were the occurrence of surgical site infections (SSIs) caused by any bacteria and/or by the colonizing MDR-GNB, and SSI-attributable mortality.

Article Synopsis
- Sudden cardiac death (SCD) significantly affects healthcare due to its cardiological and neurological complications, especially among the elderly, leading to more admissions in intensive care.
- A study analyzing SCD patients from five hospitals found that patients aged 80 and older received less aggressive treatments, like new antiplatelet agents and coronary angiography, compared to younger patients.
- While older age was linked to worse survival rates, it did not correlate with poorer neurological outcomes; instead, factors like rhythm type and time to CPR were more predictive of outcomes regardless of age.
Background: Pelvic ultrasonography (PUS) of the uterus and ovaries allows the diagnosis of changes in sexual development. However, the reference values used in Spain originate from old studies conducted in other countries.
Objective: To determine reference uterine and ovarian measurements by PUS and according to pubertal status and bone age in a Spanish population of healthy girls aged between 6 and 12 years.

September 2017
Liver Unit, Hospital Clínic, University of Barcelona, IDIBAPS, CIBERehd, Barcelona, Spain.
Objectives: Interferon-free therapies have an improved safety and efficacy profile. However, data in elderly patients, who have frequently advanced liver disease, associated comorbidities, and use concomitant medications are scarce. The im of this study was to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of all-oral regimens in elderly patients in real-life clinical practice.
