During pregnancy and lactation, breast vascularity increases and edema occurs in the breast . As a consequence, rate of complications of breast biopsy and surgery like bleeding, infection, delayed healing and wound dehiscence is expected to be higher. Milk fistula is a rare event that may complicate surgery or needle biopsy of the breast in a…[Read more]

3% to 8.8% (P<0.001) in UC but decreased from 4.5% to 2.8% (P<0.001) in CD. In multivariable analysis, compared with 2006, there was a nonsignificant decrease in mortality in 2014 in both CD and UC (AOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.61-1.07), but a significant increase in colectomy in 2014 only in UC (AOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.46-3.06).

Most relapses of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) occur in patients with a medium risk (MR) for relapse on the Associazione Italiana di Ematologia e Oncologia Pediatrica and Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (AIEOP-BFM) ALL protocol, based on persistence of minimal residual disease (MRD). New insights into biological features that are associated with…[Read more]

AS. Discriminative ability, test-retest reliability and construct validity of the EQ-5D-5L were good, whereas the responsiveness was rather weak. Nevertheless, the EQ-5D-5L can be used to measure HrQoL in adolescents and young adults with PTSD. German Clinical Trials Register identifier DRKS00004787; date of registration 18th March 2013;…[Read more]

Cholesterol embolism is associated with not only organ ischemia due to microembolism, but also immunological mechanisms. Thus, cholesterol embolism due to aorta-derived cholesterin may have led to the delayed pulmonary hemorrhage. Differentiation from re-rupture due to endoleaks is important.A 65-year-old man, with a history of hypertension,…[Read more]

Evidence is lacking for viable treatment options for patients with difficult-to-treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It has been suggested that D-cycloserine (DCS) could potentiate the effect of exposure and response prevention (ERP) treatment, but the hypothesis has not been tested among patients with difficult-to-treat OCD.

A 7-day old term neonate with D-malposition of great arteries, large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (almost single ventricle), without pulmonary stenosis was admitted with cyanosis and congestive heart failure. ECG revealed supraventricular tachycardia with alternating QRS axis with every beat. We discuss our approach to this scenario,…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to explore and describe the lived experiences of persons providing home care for community-dwelling relative with heart failure (HF) in Jordan.

It was a phenomenological study.

Data were collected through interviews with 29 participants and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach.

Four core themes have…[Read more]
