Pharmacokinetics of new oral anticoagulants: implications for use in routine care
2018
Introduction: Since 2008, new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been approved for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients receiving hip or knee replacement surgery, prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Premarketing randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of NOACs demonstrated their non-inferiority in terms of efficacy vs. warfarin (traditional oral anticoagulant–TOA), with lower risk of serious adverse drug reactions, especially cerebral hemorrhages. In clinical practice, pharmacokinetic aspects of NOACs have to be carefully taken into account to …
Child-Pugh Class and Not Thrombocytopenia Impacts the Risk of Complications of Endoscopic Band Ligation in Patients with Cirrhosis and High Risk Vari…
2023
Background and Aims: Endoscopic band legation (EBL) is an effective method for the prophylaxis of acute variceal bleeding (AVB). This procedure may be associated with several complications, particularly bleeding. Our analysis aimed to evaluate the risk of complications due to EBL in a cohort of patients who underwent EBL for the prophylaxis of variceal bleeding and the eventual presence of risk predictors. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from consecutive patients who underwent EBL in a primary prophylaxis regimen. For all patients, simultaneously with EBL, we recorded the Child–Pugh and MELD score, platelet count and US features of portal hypertension. Results: We col…
La influencia de la técnica quirúrgica en la hemorragia postamigdalectomía
2022
La complicación más frecuente de la amigdalectomía extracapsular (AE) es la hemorragia postamigdalectomía (HPA). Los factores relacionados con esta son diversos, entre los que se encuentra la técnica quirúrgica con la que se lleva a cabo. Se distinguen las técnicas frías y calientes. Entre sus indicaciones se encuentran las infecciones amigdalares de repetición, las complicaciones derivadas de estas amigdalitis y pacientes pediátricos con trastornos respiratorios del sueño (TRS). En este último grupo, una alternativa terapéutica es la amigdalectomía intracapsular (AI). Se distinguen dos tipos de HPA: primaria, que ocurre durante las primeras 24 horas, y secundaria (HPAt), que ocurre tras la…
