Control of blood pressure remains a key goal of peri-operative care, because hypotension is associated with adverse outcomes after surgery.<br /><br /> We explored whether increased vigilance afforded by intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring may be associated with less morbidity after surgery.<br /><br /> A prospective observational cohort study.<br /><br /> Four UK secondary care hospitals.<br /><br /> A total of 4342 patients ≥45 years who underwent noncardiac surgery.<br /><br /> We compared outcome of patients who received peri-operative intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring with those whose blood pressure was measured noninvasively.<br /><br /> The primary outcome was peri-operative myocardial injury (high-sensitivity troponin-T ≥ 15 ng l-1 within 72 h after surgery), compared between patients who received intra-arterial versus noninvasive blood pressure monitoring. Secondary outcomes were morbidity within 72 h of surgery (postoperative morbidity survey), and vasopressor and fluid therapy.

These data provide useful insights into the design of a definitive monitoring trial.<br /><br /> It is not clear whether moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine used to restore the macrocirculation impair the microcirculation and affect microcirculation/macrocirculation coherence.<br /><br /> We sought to investigate the effect of moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine therapy administered to treat intraoperative hypotension on the sublingual microcirculation.<br /><br /> Prospective observational study.<br /><br /> University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany, from November 2018 to March 2019.<br /><br /> Thirty patients scheduled for open radical prostatectomy and 29 healthy volunteer blood donors.<br /><br /> Simultaneous assessment of the macrocirculation using a noninvasive finger-cuff method and the sublingual microcirculation using vital microscopy.<br /><br /> The main outcome measures were changes in the sublingual microcirculation caused by moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine therapy.<br /><br /> General anaesthesia decreased median [IQR] mean arterial pressure from 100 [90 to 104] to 79 [69 to 87]icrocirculation in patients having open radical prostatectomy.<br /><br />Moderate intraoperative blood loss and norepinephrine therapy administered to treat intraoperative hypotension have no detrimental effect on the sublingual microcirculation and the coherence between the macrocirculation and microcirculation in patients having open radical prostatectomy.<br /><br /> Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) is a Janus kinase 1 and 2 small molecule inhibitor that the Food and Drug Administration approved for myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera. It has been expanded to off-label treatment for a variety of dermatologic conditions, with several clinical trials ongoing. A review of available studies and cases of off-label uses was performed to guide clinicians seeking evidence on the efficacy of this Janus kinase inhibitor for dermatologic disorders.<br /><br /> PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched with the term "ruxolitinib," and results were manually reviewed to identify published data on off-label uses of ruxolitinib. Studies included are structured by quality of evidence available.<br /><br /> Ruxolitinib may have utility in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and vitiligo, with data from open-label and randomized trials supporting efficacy of topical formulations. Evidence of utility for alopecia areata is mixed and differs depending on topical versus oral form. Evidence for numerous other conditions is available through case reports and case series.<br /><br /> There is growing evidence supporting potential off-label use of oral and topical ruxolitinib for a wide range of skin conditions. There are several ongoing investigations of ruxolitinib use in dermatology that will undoubtedly better define its efficacy and appropriate use in dermatology.<br /><br />There is growing evidence supporting potential off-label use of oral and topical ruxolitinib for a wide range of skin conditions.

Carmine-positive patients were significantly more likely to be female (77.7% vs 68.3%; P = 0.0237) and have a final primary diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis (74.8% vs 47.2%; P &lt; 0.0001). As compared with carmine-negative patients, carmine-positive patients were significantly more likely to have involvement of all facial sites combined (48.1% vs 29.9%; P &lt; 0.0001) and the lips (7.6% vs 3.6%; P = 0.0166). At final reading, most carmine reactions were weak (+; 64.9%). Approximately half (53.4%) were currently clinically relevant; identified sources were primarily personal care products (77.1%), especially makeup (31.4%) and lip products (8.6%).<br /><br /> Weak patch test reactions to carmine should be interpreted with caution. Allergic contact dermatitis to carmine should be suspected in women with facial and/or lip dermatitis, especially those using carmine-containing cosmetics.<br /><br />Weak patch test reactions to carmine should be interpreted with caution.

PE carries substantial mortality. In the past decade, we have seen a remarkable improvement in new diagnostic tools as well as advances in therapeutic options to manage patients with PE. Still, even with recently updated society guidelines, the management of intermediate and high-risk PE requires clinician expertise and judgment. To aid healthcare providers caring for patients with acute PE, we have developed a novel, comprehensive yet straightforward, pathway for the management of patients with PE. We believe this pathway can be used in many healthcare systems around the globe. Our pathway for the diagnosis and management of PE is divided into 3 steps the diagnosis of PE, the acute management of patients with PE, and recommendations for chronic management. The pathway requires classification of the PE by the risk of mortality and thus leads to the appropriate intensity of initial care, intervention, and monitoring.
