Congenital venous anomalies are uncommon, incidental findings encountered during adult interventional electrophysiology procedures. Femoral venous access is conventionally used during cardiac electrophysiology studies to gain access to the heart. The chance finding of an inferior vena cava anomaly may preclude the performance of these procedures from the femoral approach. We describe two cases in which we were able to successfully perform different radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures in the presence of an unusual venous anomaly, the left-sided IVC.<br /><br /> To study the correlations of CT scan with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and D-dimer in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019).<br /><br /> From January to March 2020, COVID-19 patients were divided into two groups according to the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (trial version 7), with mild and ordinary cases as Group-1 and critical and severe cases as Group-2. The chest CT scan results, hs-CRP, D-dimmer levels of the two groups from admission to discharge were compared by the χ<br /><br /> test or Fisher's exact test. The quantitative data were represented as mean ± standard deviation ( x ± s). Intergroup comparisons were performed by the independent samples t test, and the ineligible data were subjected to the nonparametric rank sum test. Binary logistic regression model was used for multivariate correlation analysis, using independent variables that were significant in univariate analysis. The correlations between the above indices were analyzed.<br /><br /> In Group-1, theive roles in clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation.<br /><br />The chest CT scan results of COVID-19 patients are characteristic, being correlated with CRP and D-dimer levels. D-dimer and CRP levels significantly increase in most severe and critical patients, which are closely related to their prognosis. The indices may play predictive roles in clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation.<br /><br /> To compare the clinical effects of marrow core decompression with bone grafting and marrow core decompression with porous tantalum rod implantation in treating avascular necrosis of non-traumatic femoral head.<br /><br /> This prospective study selected 60 patients (74 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head admitted to Daping Hospital from January 2018 to March 2019. According to treatment methods, the 60 patients were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. 30 patients in one group were treated by marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and the other 30 patients in the other group were treated with marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation.<br /><br /> All implantation treatments were successful. No significant difference was found in surgical duration, hemorrhage volume and duration of hospitalization stay between the two groups during follow-up. All Harris scores were significantly improved (P&lt;0.05) following treatment compared to those before treatment. The Harris score of patients treated with porous tantalum rod implantation was higher than that of patients treated with bone grafting (P&lt;0.05) after 12 months following treatment and such a difference was significant.<br /><br /> The combination of marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation can better improve the functions of hip joints with early femoral head necrosis than marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and can also prevent articular cartilage from collapsing gradually.<br /><br />The combination of marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation can better improve the functions of hip joints with early femoral head necrosis than marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and can also prevent articular cartilage from collapsing gradually.<br /><br /> To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical procedures on post burn contracture of hand.<br /><br /> A quasi-experimental study design was conducted at the Department of Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery, Dow University of Health Science, DR. Ruth KM Pfau, Civil Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan from 1<br /><br /> June 2019 to 30<br /><br /> November 2019. Ninety-three participants of burned hand contracture of either gender, aged between 6- 60 years were included in the study. Resurfacing surgery with skin graft and loco-regional flaps were done according to type of contracture with individualization for each patient. All patients were kept under follow up for ninety days to assess efficacy of contracture release for each surgical procedure was noted. SPSS version 23 was used to analyse data.<br /><br /> Full thickness skin graft (FTSG) was performed in 60.2% cases, 17.2% with split thickness skin graft (STSG) and 12.9% with cross finger flaps. About 25% of recurrence was observed in cross finger flaps, whereas no recurrence was seen in Z-plasties and posterior interosseous flap. The significant association was between recurrence and surgical procedures (p&lt;0.05).<br /><br /> Z-plasty followed by FTSG was effective in the management of post burn contractures of hand.<br /><br />Z-plasty followed by FTSG was effective in the management of post burn contractures of hand.<br /><br /> To discuss the correlation between hormone levels and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in menopausal patients with Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).<br /><br /> This clinical research study was conducted at Department of Endocrinology, Baoding No. 1 Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017. In this study a total of 386 menopausal female patients with T2 DM were selected and classified into two groups according to the CAN function test the CAN group (80 cases) and the DM group (306 cases). The Kupperman score (KI integral) was calculated for all participants in the study, and the following indexes were measured body mass index (BMI), blood estrogen (E<br /><br /> ), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT<br /><br /> ), free triiodothyronine (FT<br /><br /> ), fasting blood-glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum lipids, uric acid (SUA), hypersensitive c-reactive protein (CRP), etc.<br /><br /> The FBG, HbA1c, TGs, Hs-CRP, SUA, KI score, TSH, FSH and LH of the CAN group were obviously higher than the same parameters in the DM group (P&lt;0.01, P&lt;0.05), while HDL-C, E<br /><br /> , FT<br /><br /> and FT<br /><br /> were significantly lower (Pπ.01, Pπ.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that CAN presents a positive correlation with HbA1c, TGs, hs-CRP and SUA and a negative correlation with HDL-C and E<br /><br /> , and the difference was statistically significant (P&lt;0.05). [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mk-4827.html Niraparib] The multifactor logistic regression analysis results showed that HbA1c (OR=3.980, 95%CI=1.268~10.319) and E2 (OR=3.075, 95%CI=1.167~7.366) are independent risk factors for CAN.<br /><br /> The CAN morbidity of menopausal female patients with T2DM is high, and HbA<br /><br /> c and E<br /><br /> should be mainly monitored to identify and treat CAN early.<br /><br />The CAN morbidity of menopausal female patients with T2DM is high, and HbA1c and E2 should be mainly monitored to identify and treat CAN early.
