Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Endoscopic Treatment for Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure: An Observational Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.

Thrombocytosis and tumour distribution predict outcome in dogs with hepatocellular carcinoma: A multi‐institutional retrospective analysis

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common canine hepatobiliary tumour. This study aimed to determine which criteria influenced outcome of HCC in a modern population of dogs across eight institutions. Methods The medical records of 106 dogs with HCC were retrospectively reviewed.

The impact of splenectomy on outcomes after distal and total pancreatectomy

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2007
Background Several authors advocate spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy, because of the increased complication rate after splenectomy. Methods Postoperative complications and survival after distal and total pancreatectomy, were recorded and ...

Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...

Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index as a Prognostic Inflammation–Nutrition Marker in Appendiceal High‐Grade Pseudomyxoma Peritonei: A 10‐Year Single‐Center Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Among 223 patients with appendiceal high‐grade pseudomyxoma peritonei, a high advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) was independently associated with improved overall survival. A nomogram integrating ALI with clinicopathological and surgical factors showed good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility for predicting 1‐, 2‐, and 3‐year ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by activated platelets as a cause of neutrophil–platelet aggregation in β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Abnormal neutrophils and platelets in splenectomised β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E (HbE) disease contribute to neutrophil–platelet aggregation, leading to a high risk of thrombus formation. Activated platelets induce neutrophils to generate neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) via the P‐selectin–P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 (PSGL1) pathway, which ...
