Bilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis and COVID‐19 in a patient with absence of inferior vena cava: A case report and review of literature

Bilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities of young patients should raise suspicion over pro‐thrombotic conditions and venous anatomical abnormalities, even in the presence of other precipitating factors, such as viral infection. The authors present a 33‐year‐old man with bilateral DVT and absence of inferior vena cava (AIVC), who also had concurrent COVID‐19, and discuss the management of this patient.     

Modeling Time to Cure of Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Cox Proportional Model in Southwest of Ethiopia

BackgroundGlobally, there are about 10 million cases of deep vein thrombosis every year, and it is the third leading cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke. The objective of the study is to assess risk factors of time to cure patients of deep vein thrombosis in southwest Ethiopia.MethodsA retrospective cohort study design was used. The study population was deep vein thrombosis patients at purposively selected hospitals in Southwest Ethiopia from January 2017 to December 2020. Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors associated with deep vein thrombosis.ResultsOut of the total 1068 registered as deep vein thrombosis patients, 263(24.6%) were cured during the study period, and 805(75.4%) were censored. Results of the Cox proportional hazard model show that; age, gender, family history of deep vein thrombosis, smoking status, immobilize and alcohol consumption were factors associated with deep vein thrombosis (p-value<0.05).ConclusionThe patients with a family history of deep vein thrombosis, prolonged immobilization, greater the 50 years, smoking cigarettes, female (non-pregnant) and alcohol users had a longer curing time of deep vein thrombosis compared to others.     

原发性肝癌全肝切除标本的病理解剖学特征及其启示

目的 探讨原发性肝癌的病理解剖学特征及其意义.方法 2000年8月至2007年12月共有89例肝硬化合并原发性肝癌患者接受肝移植手术,收集手术切除标本及受侵犯的邻近组织和肿大的淋巴结.将标本沿冠状切面每隔1.0 cm切开,观察肝癌的大小、数目、分布、包膜、门静脉瘤栓、卫星灶,并记录卫星灶与主瘤问的距离、受肝癌侵犯的组织、淋巴结等,然后送病理学检查,最终诊断以病理报告为准.结果 89例患者中,肝细胞肝癌86例,胆管细胞性肝癌3例;多发肿瘤53例,单发肿瘤36例;13例主瘤在右叶,但左叶存在小癌灶;14例有较完整的包膜,75例无包膜,无包膜病例中11例边界不清;术中所见侵犯邻近组织的25例患者中,8例经病理证实,16例的肿大淋巴结中7例有癌浸润;有门静脉主干或分支瘤栓者42例(47.2%),有卫星灶者39例(43.8%),瘤栓与卫星灶随肿瘤体积、数目增加而增加;卫星灶距主瘤距离多为0.5～3.0 cm,少数达5.0 cm.结论 全肝切除标本能全面地反映肝癌牛长和浸润特征.应警惕门静脉瘤栓及卫星灶的存在,特别是距主瘤较远的卫星灶及门静脉小支内的瘤栓,以及分布在另一肝叶的小癌灶.这些因素在影像学检查时容易漏诊,但会影响肝切除术或肝移植术的疗效.     

COVID-19 vaccine-induced lymphadenopathies: incidence,course and imaging features from an ultrasound prospective study

Aimslymphadenopathy can occur after COVID-19 vaccination and when encountered at ultrasound examinations performed for other reasons might pose a diagnostic challenge. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the incidence, course and ultrasound imaging features of vaccine-induced lymphadenopathy.Methods89 healthy volunteers (median age 30, 76 females) were prospectively enrolled. Vaccine-related clinical side effects (e.g., fever, fatigue, palpable or painful lymphadenopathy) were recorded. Participants underwent bilateral axillary, supraclavicular and cervical lymph node stations ultrasound 1–4 weeks after the second dose and then again after 4–12 weeks in those who showed lymphadenopathy at the first ultrasound. B-mode, color-Doppler assessment, and shear-wave elastography (SWE) evaluation were performed. The correlation between lymphadenopathy and vaccine-related side effects was assessed using the Fisher’s exact test.ResultsPost-vaccine lymphadenopathy were found in 69/89 (78%) participants (37 single and 32 multiple lymphadenopathy). Among them, 60 presented vaccine-related side effects, but no statistically significant difference was observed between post-vaccine side effect and lymphadenopathy. Ultrasound features of vaccine-related lymphadenopathy consisted of absence of fatty hilum, round shape and diffuse or asymmetric cortical thickness (median cortical thickness of 5 mm). Vascular signal was mainly found to be increased, localized in both central and peripheral regions. SWE showed a soft cortical consistence in all cases (median value 11 Kpa). At follow-up, lymph-node morphology was completely restored in most cases (54/69, 78%) and in no case lymphadenopathy had worsened.ConclusionA high incidence of vaccine-induced lymphadenopathy was found in a population of healthy subjects, with nearly complete regression within 4–12 weeks.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40477-022-00674-3.

散血明目片对非缺血型视网膜静脉阻塞患者血液流变学的影响

目的探讨散血明目片对非缺血型视网膜静脉阻塞患者血液流变学及血清相关生化指标的影响及作用机制。方法将34例非缺血型视网膜静脉阻塞患者随机分为治疗组（17例17眼）与对照组（17例18眼）,治疗组口服散血明目片,对照组口服血栓通片,两组均同时配合其他中西医常规治疗方法。治疗2个月后比较两组临床疗效、血液流变学及血清相关生化指标的差异。结果治疗组总显效率与对照组比较,差异有显著统计学意义（P〈0.01）;治疗组治疗前后低切和高切全血比黏度、红细胞电泳、血浆黏度、红细胞聚集指数、AT-Ⅲ、lp（a）、NO、A-CL IgG阳性率、ACL IgM阳性率、LA阳性率差异有显著统计学意义（P〈0.01）;ET-1、ACL IgA阳性率差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论散血明目片是治疗非缺血型视网膜静脉阻塞的有效药物,其作用机制可能与升高AT-Ⅲ、降低lp（a）、APL在血浆中的含量、稳定ET-1/NO比值有关,在外可反映于血液流变学指标的变化。     

同样的抗凝，为何不同的开通？——门静脉血栓程度的临床意义

《肝脏病学》（Hepatology）杂志2010年1月刊登了一项有关急性门静脉血栓形成的抗凝治疗的前瞻性队列研究。这项研究较此前所有关于抗凝治疗门静脉血栓的研究更为重要。研究显示,在应用抗凝治疗后,门静脉比肠系膜上静脉和脾静脉的开通率更高。这一看似矛盾的现象引起了我们的关注．并对此作了进一步的分析。     

Accuracy of atrial fibrillation detection by an insertable cardiac monitor in patients undergoing catheter ablation: Results of the BioVAD study

BackgroundInsertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are increasingly used to evaluate the atrial fibrillation (AF) burden after catheter ablation of AF. BioMonitor III (BM3) is an ICM with a long sensing vector, which enhances sensing capabilities. The AF detection algorithm of the BM3 is based on R–R interval variability.ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of the AF detection algorithm of BM3 in patients before and after catheter ablation of AF using simultaneous Holter recordings.MethodsIn this prospective study, we enrolled patients scheduled for catheter ablation of paroxysmal or persistent AF. After BM3 implantation, patients had a 4 days Holter registration before and 3 months after ablation. All true AF episodes ≥2 min on the Holter were annotated and matched with BM3 detected AF detections.ResultsThirty‐one patients were enrolled (mean age 60 ± 8, 74% male, 68% paroxysmal AF). Fifty‐six Holter registrations were performed in 30 patients. Twelve patients demonstrated at least one true AF episode with a total AF duration of 570 h. The AF burden accuracy of BM3 before catheter ablation was 99.6%, with a duration sensitivity of 98.6% and a duration specificity of 99.9%. The AF burden accuracy of BM3 after catheter ablation was 99.8%, with a duration sensitivity of 90.2% and a duration specificity of 99.9%. Overall, the AF burden detected on the Holter and BM3 demonstrated a high Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.996.ConclusionBM3 accurately detects AF burden in patients before and after catheter ablation of AF.
