Efficacy and safety of quick penetrating solution heparin, quick penetrating solution diclofenac, and heparin gel in the prevention of infusion-associated superficial thrombophlebitis: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of quick penetrating solution (QPS) heparin, QPS diclofenac, and heparin gel in the prevention of superficial thrombophlebitis (ST).

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee and registration to Clinical Trial Registry of India. Patients of 18-60 years age, I/II, and who needed venous cannulation for at least 72 h were included in the study.

Postbiopsy Mondor disease as an early indicator of elevated thrombophlebitis risk: A case report.

Mondor disease (MD) is a rare, benign condition marked by thrombophlebitis of superficial veins of the breast or anterior chest wall. While it is idiopathic in most cases, it can sometimes occur secondary to an underlying cause. This case report describes a 51-year-old female, who developed MD approximately 7 weeks after undergoing a breast biopsy.

Midline vs Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter for Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy.

Importance: Little is known about the safety of midline catheters vs peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT).

Objective: To compare outcomes from midline catheters vs PICCs for OPAT.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients who received antimicrobial therapy through a midline catheter or PICC between January 2017 and November 2023 across 69 Michigan hospitals.

Factor V Leiden Heterozygous: Complicated by Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism and Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism.

Factor V Leiden (FVL) is a hypercoagulable disorder that puts patients at increased risk of initial venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, those with heterozygote status are not usually susceptible to recurrent VTE. This is a case of a 35-year-old Caucasian male who presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath and chest pain.

Penile Mondor's disease after open hernia repair surgery: A case report.

Background: Penile Mondor's disease (PMD) is a rare syndrome characterized by sclerosis after superficial thrombophlebitis of the superficial penile veins. The most usual appearance of PMD is a tender, palpable, painful, and sometimes visible cord on the dorsal surface of the penis. Its pathogenesis is still unclear, and a standardized treatment has not been established.

Combination Foam and Liquid Sclerotherapy for Lower Extremity Reticular and Telangiectatic Veins: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Background: Lower extremity reticular and telangiectatic veins are of common cosmetic concern.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate results of lower extremity sclerotherapy using a combination of foam and liquid sclerosing agents.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of sclerotherapy patients at a dermatology practice (January 2014 to April 2023) was performed.

Superficial thrombophlebitis in the forearm leading to entrapment of the radial nerve branch: a first case report and literature review.

This article reports a case of a female patient admitted with swelling and subcutaneous mass in the right forearm, initially suspected to be multiple nerve fibroma. However, through preoperative imaging and surgery, the final diagnosis confirmed superficial thrombophlebitis. This condition resulted in entrapment of the radial nerve branch, leading to noticeable nerve entrapment and radiating pain.

Vascular complications in craniopharyngioma-resected paediatric patients: a single-center experience.

Background: Craniopharyngioma (CP), although slow growing and histologically benign, has high morbidity, mostly related to hypothalamus-pituitary dysfunction and electrolyte imbalance. Increased risk of vascular complications has been described. However, data are still poor, especially in the paediatric population.
