Electrocardiographic Artifact Caused by Deep Brain Stimulation Mimicking Atrial Flutter in Patient With Contralateral Pacemaker - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41848453/
Recognition of DBS-induced ECG artifact is important to ensure appropriate diagnosis and avoid unnecessary interventions. DBS and CIEDs systems can safely coexist without electrical interference when appropriate safety precautions are...
Deep brain stimulation can cause ECG artifacts mimicking atrial flutter; device interrogation confirms true rhythm, preventing misdiagnosis. DBS and pacemakers can safely coexist without interference with proper evaluation.
Hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis and diastolic blood pressure variability: volume-dependent cardiovascular risks in maintenance dialysis patients - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41820019/
This retrospective study analyzed hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) impacts on diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV) in Stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD-G5D) patients, explored volume-related indicator associations with...
Retrospective study shows hemodialysis patients have higher diastolic blood pressure variability than peritoneal dialysis patients; variability strongly correlates with interdialytic weight gain and predicts cardiovascular events, highlighting importance of volume management.
Differential Diagnosis between Sintilimab-related Autoimmune Myocarditis and Acute Myocardial Infarction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41776397/
The manifestations of sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis are not specific. The medication history and concomitant symptoms are of warning value. Coronary angiography or coronary computed coronary tomography angiography can be helpful...
Review of 23 cases shows sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis often presents with nonspecific symptoms and elevated cardiac biomarkers; medication history, coronary imaging, cardiac MRI, and biopsy help differentiate it from acute myocardial infarction.
The Efficacy and Safety of Indobufen-Based DAPT in ACS Patients with a History of Gastrointestinal Damage Undergoing PCI: A Single-Center, Observational Study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41729598/
PurposeIndobufen, an alternative to aspirin in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with gastrointestinal damage undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), has limited data on its efficacy and safety in long-term use....
In 255 ACS patients with prior gastrointestinal damage undergoing PCI, indobufen-based DAPT reduced major and clinically significant gastrointestinal events versus aspirin-based DAPT, without increasing cardiovascular events, improving symptoms and quality of life.
Reduced haemorrhage during external medial orbital wall decompression with nasal packing containing vasoconstrictive agent - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41708136/
This study demonstrated a highly significant reduction in perioperative bleeding during retrocaruncular medial decompression when nasal packing with a vasoconstrictive agent was used (p<0.001). The main limitation of this study...
Randomized prospective study showed nasal packing with cocaine-adrenaline significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding during external medial orbital wall decompression versus control (9.4g vs 30.1g; p<0.001), without added complications, facilitating surgical visualization.
