Evaluating the efficacy of obturator cryoneurolysis for hip adductor spasticity: An observational, prospective study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hip adductor spasticity is a common affliction among patients with disorders of the central nervous system. Cryoneurolysis is a novel intervention for spasticity involving the application of extreme cold to a nerve. This induces axonal breakdown, relieving spasticity.

Stuck tunneled central venous catheters in children: Four cases removed by angiography assistance [PDF]

, 2018
Adherent tunneled catheters can usually be removed by a surgical cut down, but in some cases the line can become stuck to the wall of the central veins. In such cases, forceful traction can cause vascular injury, or fracture of the catheter.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Mediastinal Approach to the Placement of the Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters in Patients with Central Vein Occlusion in an Outpatient Access Center

, 2010
Objectives: Endovascular therapy for hemodialysis (HD) access is now performed in outpatient centers in a growing number of cities in the US. As patients live longer, we are facing a growing number of patients with central venous occlusion. We report our

Agreement between cardiac cycle time intervals and myocardial velocities measured by automated analysis of color tissue Doppler cine loops and by manual tracing of spectral pulsed‐wave tissue Doppler waveforms of sheep fetal heart under normal and pathological conditions: An experimental study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Automated cTDI in sheep fetuses provided reproducible measurements of myocardial velocities and heart rate that align well with manual pulsed‐wave TDI. For cardiac cycle duration metrics, the two modalities are not interchangeable. These findings support that automated cTDI is well suited for longitudinal assessment under both physiological and ...

Venous Thromboembolism in Hematologic Malignancies: Incidence, Risk Factors, and the Role of Direct Oral Anticoagulants

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thrombotic events, particularly venous thromboembolism (VTE), are a significant source of morbidity and mortality among patients with hematologic malignancies. These patients face unique challenges due to treatment‐related complications such as thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and heightened bleeding risk.

Insertion of Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters without Fluoroscopy

, 2010
Background The tunneled cuffed catheter (TCC) is used as a bridge access for hemodialysis. Few prospective studies have been designed to evaluate conversion from non-tunneled to TCC without the use of fluoroscopy when performed by nephrologists.
