Point‐Of‐Care Ultrasound in Emergency Departments in Australia/New Zealand: An Emergency Physician's Perspective

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 3-7, March 2025.
This brief overview of the current state of clinician performed focused ultrasound (Emergency PoCUS) by emergency practitioners in Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) has touched on its history, scope of practice both mandated and context‐dependent, complex embedding in clinical diagnostic reasoning and range of governance issues.

Comparison of 3‐Dimensional Ultrasound and Computed Tomography for Imaging of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Three‐dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is emerging as a novel imaging method for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) as it creates a low‐cost 3D AAA overview without harmful radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents, as opposed to conventional imaging. 3D US can be used with a non‐nephrotoxic contrast agent (3D‐CEUS) for lumen delineation.

The Unfinished Journey After Major Surgery: Interhospital Transfer and Care Fragmentation

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Interhospital transfer (IHTR) is commonly used to access specialized surgical care, yet post‐discharge readmission destination among transferred surgical patients remains poorly characterized. Therefore, the association of IHTR and hospital transfer burden with care fragmentation after major surgery was evaluated. IHTR was strongly associated with care

Evidence of a Protective Effect of Metformin on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Risk: Insights From an Observational Study and Mendelian Randomisation Analysis Using Putative Metformin Targets

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims There is no proven treatment to prevent the growth or rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As an aneurysm enlarges over time, the risk of fatal aortic rupture increases. Metformin, a drug usually prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, has previously been associated with reduced AAA risk in observational studies. Our aim was to assess

Platelet function in patients undergoing major non‐cardiac vascular surgery (PLUGS): a prospective cohort study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Patients who require major vascular surgery often receive antiplatelet therapy for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Clopidogrel resistance and variability in platelet recovery after drug discontinuation pose clinical challenges, particularly for regional anaesthesia and blood management.

A Systematic Scoping Review of Participant Descriptor, Diversity and Inclusivity Data Reported in Randomised Studies of Post‐Operative Ileus

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Poor reporting of baseline descriptor, diversity and inclusion data is a barrier in surgical research for drawing generalisable conclusions across diverse populations. Post‐operative ileus was used as an exemplar surgical condition to quantify the variation in baseline descriptor, inclusivity and diversity data in randomised ...

The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading global cause of death, driven by complex mechanisms, in which chronic inflammation plays a central role. Inflammatory pathways contribute to all stages of CVD, from endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation to erosion, rupture and myocardial injury.

Targeting PCSK9 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: An Effective Strategy to Suppress Ferroptosis and Attenuate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
PCSK9 aggravates AAA by promoting ferroptosis in VSMCs. In the pathological AAA environment, PCSK9 upregulation triggers ferritinophagy‐dependent degradation of FTH1, leading to Fe2+ release, triggering lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, exacerbating AAA.
