Background: The development of newer and more potent antithrombotic agents and strategies has markedly reduced cardiovascular mortality and ischemic complications in patients with acute coronary syndromes and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). With every approach to reduce coronary thrombosis, however, there is an accompanying risk of increasing bleeding complications elsewhere. Conversely, reducing bleeding complications may increase coronary thrombotic (ischemic) events. This is the Yin-Yang principle of antithrombotic therapy and strategies in PCI. Balancing both ends of the spectrum is essential, and an individualized approach to therapy is advocated. This article reviews the efficacy and bleeding risk profile of the different antithrombotic agents and strategies in PCI, including aspirin, thienopyridines, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa-inhibitors, heparin-based antithrombins, synthetic antithrombins and oral anticoagulants. Recommendations for reducing thrombotic and bleeding complications are also discussed.

Efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy mediatied by 5-aminolevulinic acid for the treatment of vaginal high-grade intraepithelial lesions.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital.

Background: Vaginal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia [VAIN] grade 2-3) is a clinical precancerous lesion condition with an estimated progression rate of 10%-20%. Therefore, treatment is recommended. Because traditional treatments have limited effects or high expenses or complications, here we evaluated the efficacy and safety of topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Topical hemostatic application on staple line in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a single-surgeon experience.

Authors:
Antonio Vitiello Adam Abu-Abeid Giovanna Berardi Sabrina DI Matteo Cristina Manetti Mario Musella

Minerva Surg 2022 May 16. Epub 2022 May 16.

Advanced Biomedical Sciences Department, AOU Federico II, Naples Federico II University, Naples, Italy.

Background: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is a common bariatric procedure with low complication rates. Several hemostatic agents have been used to reduce staple line bleeding, but its impact is unclear. The primary endpoint of this study was to compare the early (30-day) complications comparing oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and fibrin sealant (FS) application on the staple line. Read More

Oral propranolol is recommended as the first-line agent for infantile hemangioma requiring systemic treatment. Life-threatening complications such as obstructive infantile hemangioma of the airway or infantile hepatic hemangioma associated with high-output congestive heart failure are major indications for the consideration of early treatment. We present the case of an infant with life-threatening diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis, including airway obstruction due to subglottic hemangioma, heart failure due to multiple hepatic hemangiomas with portohepatic venous shunts, and severe anemia due to continuous gastrointestinal bleeding, in which treatment with intravenous propranolol proved successful.

Background Intramyocardial edema and hemorrhage are key pathological mechanisms in the development of reperfusion-related microvascular damage in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. These processes may be facilitated by abrupt restoration of intracoronary pressure and flow triggered by primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We investigated whether pressure-controlled reperfusion via gradual reopening of the infarct-related artery may limit microvascular injury in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
