JACIE (Joint Accreditation Committee ISTC EBMT) regulations and standards impose a quality and safety requirement for graft reinjection by nurses. However, the standards do not provide a step-by-step graft reinjection procedure. Because of high medical team turnover, the opening of new transplant centers, and continual questions from colleagues trying to decipher the JACIE standards, the need for a specific procedure goes without saying.

Background: In the Dupuytren Rotterdam randomized controlled trial, percutaneous aponeurotomy with lipofilling (PALF) was as effective as limited fasciectomy in correcting primary Dupuytren's contracture after 1 year. The authors report the 5-year results of this trial, with a special focus on recurrence of contractures.
Methods: The authors invited all patients who had undergone PALF or limited fasciectomy to participate in a posttrial follow-up assessment. Read More

Background: Numerous Dupuytren's fasciectomy techniques have been described, each associated with unique surgical challenges, complications and recurrence rates. We describe a common ground surgical approach to Dupuytren's disease; 3-dimensional fasciectomy (3DF). 3DF aims to address the potential contributors to the high recurrence rate of Dupuytren's disease and unite current limited fasciectomy practice that varies considerably between surgeons.

Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. The Kidney in Sepsis and Septic Shock (Kid-SSS) study evaluated the value of proenkephalin A 119-159 (penkid)-a sensitive biomarker of glomerular function, drawn within 24 hours upon intensive care unit (ICU) admission and analyzed using a chemiluminescence immunoassay-for kidney events in sepsis and septic shock.
Methods: The Kid-SSS study was a substudy of Adrenomedullin and Outcome in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock (AdrenOSS) (NCT02393781), a prospective, observational, multinational study including 583 patients admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis or septic shock and a validation cohort of 525 patients from the French and euRopean Outcome reGistry in Intensive Care Units (FROG-ICU) study.

These practice guidelines on the management of arterial hypertension are a concise summary of the more extensive ones prepared by the Task Force jointly appointed by the European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology. These guidelines have been prepared on the basis of the best available evidence on all issues deserving recommendations; their role must be educational and not prescriptive or coercive for the management of individual subjects who may differ widely in their personal, medical and cultural characteristics. The members of the Task Force have participated independently in the preparation of these guidelines, drawing on their academic and clinical experience and by objective examination and interpretation of all available literature.

Cardiac patients are at high risk of weaning failure due to the abrupt burden to the cardiovascular system resulting from the transition from positive-pressure ventilation to spontaneous breathing. Similarly, numerous patients with borderline cardiac function, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, especially with associated fluid overload or cumulative positive fluid balance, are at high risk of weaning failure of cardiac origin. The diagnosis of weaning-induced pulmonary oedema (WiPO) relies on the measurement of elevated left ventricular filling pressure, or on the presence of a surrogate reflecting pulmonary or cardiac congestion.

We describe our injection method for Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum using a medical silicone tube after determining the optimal depth by ultrasonography. This procedure adjusts the exposed needle length to the planned injection depth by placing a sterilized silicone tube over the needle. The restricted depth provides not only precise injection into the middle of the cords but also avoids needle tip migration through the cord and into the vital structures, which prevents possible complications.
