A catastrophic confluence: Concurrent subarachnoid haemorrhage and acute mesenteric ischaemia

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are life‐threatening emergencies with diametrically opposed treatment requirements regarding anticoagulation. This report describes a rare, complex case where both conditions occurred simultaneously, creating a significant therapeutic dilemma. Case presentation A 64‐

Predictors of Brain Infarction in Pediatric Patients During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In 179 pediatric ECMO patients, brain infarction (BI) occurred in 28% and was linked to markedly higher 30‐day mortality. VA ECMO mode (vs. VV) and higher pre‐ECMO arterial lactate independently predicted BI, supporting standardized neuro‐monitoring and liberal early brain CT, especially for children on VA ECMO.

Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.

Secondary stroke prevention: patent foramen ovale, aortic plaque, and carotid stenosis [PDF]

, 2017
Stroke is the most debilitating cardiovascular event. It has a variety of causes that may be present simultaneously. In young or otherwise healthy people, the search for a patent foramen ovale (PFO) has become standard.

Platelet Transfusion Is Associated With Increased Thrombosis and In‐Hospital Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized With Platelet Consumptive Disorders

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Platelet transfusion is commonly used to reduce bleeding risk in platelet consumptive disorders. However, platelets may also promote thromboinflammatory pathways, and contemporary data evaluating the association between platelet transfusion, thrombosis, and mortality in this population are limited.

Air embolism secondary to suspected lymphatic tissue disruption with severe exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Air embolism is rare in horses and typically associated with complications following intravenous catheterisation or other medical procedures. Exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) is common in racehorses but not usually associated with air embolism. This report describes a case of air embolism in a 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred with EIPH. The

Performing Large‐Scale Genetic Analysis in the Bleeding Disorders Community

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inherited bleeding disorders encompass a diverse group of conditions caused by genetic defects affecting coagulation factors, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, or platelet function. Despite major advances in quantitative and functional laboratory assays, a substantial diagnostic gap remains, particularly in patients with mild or atypical ...
