Non‐Anticoagulant Heparin: An In Vitro Investigation of a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Oral Cancer
ABSTRACT Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a significant global oral health concern. Non‐anticoagulant heparin (NH) emerges as a promising solution considering the enhanced survival observed with anticoagulants in cancer treatment. Methods We used the MTS assay (0/24/48/72 h), scratch assay (MuviCyte, 0–18 h), invasion Matrigel (

Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Anti‐Coagulants in Painful Venous Malformations in Children
ABSTRACT Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), including dabigatran, apixaban, and rivaroxaban, are increasingly used in adults for painful venous malformations (VMs) instead of subcutaneous drugs such as low molecular weight heparins or fondaparinux. However, these medications are poorly studied in children. In seven children with painful VMs and chronic

ABSTRACT Background Ablation of the cavo‐tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is the standard treatment for typical atrial flutter. High‐power strategies have been described to improve lesion efficacy and durability. Objective To compare the acute success, safety, and long‐term outcomes of two strategies of high‐power CTI ablation using 8‐mm gold‐tip nonirrigated ...
