Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare disease entity. The diagnosis is usually delayed because clinical presentation is non-specific. We report three cases of symptomatic SRAD complicated by renal infarction which occurred in previously healthy middle-aged male patients. They visited the hospital due to acute abdominal or flank pain. They had no specific underlying disease or trauma history. The laboratory tests and physical examination were normal. They were not suspected of havi

This study showed that the use of preoperative antihypertensive medication was associated with lower 90-day mortality among hypertensive patients who underwent noncardiac surgery. Therefore, preoperative screening and treatment with appropriate antihypertensive medication are important for hypertensive patients.

Abstract Background Waiting time for emergency abdominal surgery have been known to be linked to mortality. However, there is no clear consensus on the appropriated timing of surgery for gastrointestinal perforation. We investigated association between wait time and surgical outcomes in emergency abdominal surgery. Methods This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated adult patients who underwent emergency surgery for gastrointestinal perforations between January 2003 and September 202

Preadmission exposure to air pollution was not associated with 90-day mortality in critically ill patients. However, a higher concentration of CO and O3 was associated with an increase in pulmonary disease-related 90-day mortality in patients with preadmission COPD.

Rapid EN advancement reduced in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay in critically ill patients, especially with early EN initiation. These findings could inform clinical practices that enhance timely and adequate nutrition therapy in ICUs. Further randomized controlled trials can help establish clinical guidelines.

Preoperative antiplatelets and/or anticoagulants administration did not significantly increase the risk of postoperative major bleeding after laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.

The peak lactate level during ICU admission is independently associated with unplanned ICU readmission within both, 48 and 120 h among surgical ICU patients. However, the lactate level has relatively poor predictive capability for unplanned ICU readmissions, and a new model is needed to predict unplanned ICU readmissions among surgical patients.

Background: There are growing interests regarding the potential impact of physical environment on reproductive health. This study was to explore the association between neighborhood environment and women’s fertility.Method: This study is a retrospective cohort study using the data of 7,630 women who have undertaken anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) test which is a universal indicator for ovarian reserve at a single fertility center in 2016-2018. For indicators of age-adjusted ovarian reserve, we used

Venous phase extravasation was associated with higher transfusion requirements, cardiac arrest incidence, and mortality compared to arterial extravasation.
