Prevalence and outcomes of select rare vascular conditions in females: A descriptive review.
Semin Vasc Surg
December 2023
Division of Vascular Surgery, University of Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, OR.
Article Synopsis
- Rare vascular conditions often create challenges for healthcare providers, particularly in female patients, due to their low frequency and limited research.
- A literature review focused on three such conditions—median arcuate ligament syndrome, fibromuscular dysplasia, and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome—revealed significant sex-based differences in prevalence and outcomes.
- The review also highlights important considerations for pregnant women dealing with these rare vascular conditions, emphasizing the need for more focused research in this area.
Challenging Traditional Paradigms in Posttraumatic Pulmonary Thromboembolism.
JAMA Surg
February 2022
Department of Surgery, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Pulmonary clots are seen frequently on chest computed tomography performed after trauma, but recent studies suggest that pulmonary thrombosis (PT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after trauma are independent clinical events.
Objective: To assess whether posttraumatic PT represents a distinct clinical entity associated with the nature of the injury, different from the traditional venous thromboembolic paradigm of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and PE.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, observational, multicenter cohort study was conducted by the Consortium of Leaders in the Study of Traumatic Thromboembolism (CLOTT) study group.

Perioperative nutrition: what is the current landscape?
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr
September 2013
Department of Surgery, University of Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon, USA.
Poor nutrition status has long been linked to increases in postoperative complications and adverse outcomes for the patient undergoing elective surgery. While optimal planning for nutrition therapy should be comprehensive spanning throughout the perioperative period, recent advances have focused on the concept of "prehabilitation" to best prepare the patient prior to the insult of surgery. Adding immune/metabolic modulating formulas the week of surgery with carbohydrate drinks to optimize glycogen deposition immediately prior to surgery, enhances patient recovery and return to baseline function.
