- Abstract
Introduction: The use of antiplatelet (AP) and anticoagulation (AC) therapy after autogenous vein repair of traumatic arterial injury is controversial. The hypothesis in this study was that there is no difference in early postoperative outcomes regardless of whether AC, AP, both, or neither are used. Methods: The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) PROspective Observational Vascular Injury Treatment (PROOVIT) registry was queried from November, 2013, to January, 2019, for arterial injuries repaired with a vein graft. Demographics and injury characteristics were compared. Need for in-hospital reoperation was the primary outcome in this four-arm study, assessed with two ordinal logistic regression models (1. no therapy vs. AC only vs. AC and AP; 2. no therapy vs. AP only vs. AC and AP). Results: 373 patients (52 no therapy, 88 AP only, 77 AC only, 156 both) from 19 centers with recorded Injury Severity Scores (ISS) were identified. Patients who received no therapy were younger than those who received AP (27.0 vs. 34.2, p = 0.02), had higher transfusion requirement (p < 0.01 between all groups) and a different distribution of anatomic injury (p < 0.01). After controlling for age, sex, ISS, platelet count, hemoglobin, pH, lactate, INR, transfusion requirement and anatomic location, there was no association with postoperative medical therapy and in-hospital operative reintervention, or any secondary outcome, including thrombosis (p = 0.67, p = 0.22). Conclusions: Neither AC nor AP alone, nor in combination, impact complication rate after arterial repair with autologous vein. These patients can be safely treated with or without antithrombotics, recognizing that this study did not demonstrate a beneficial effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction: Injuries to the inferior vena cava (IVC), while uncommon, have a high mortality despite modern advances. The goal of this study is to describe the diagnosis and management in the largest available prospective data set of vascular injuries across anatomic levels of IVC injury. Methods: The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma PROspective Observational Vascular Injury Treatment (PROOVIT) registry was queried from November 2013 to January 2019. Demographics, diagnostic modalities, injury patterns, and management strategies were recorded and analyzed. Comparisons between anatomic levels were made using non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum statistics. Results: 140 patients from 19 institutions were identified; median age was 30 years old (IQR 23-41), 75% were male, and 62% had penetrating mechanism. The suprarenal IVC group was associated with blunt mechanism (53% vs 32%, P =.02), had lower admission systolic blood pressure, pH, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and higher ISS and thorax and abdomen AIS than the infrarenal injury group. Injuries were managed with open repair (70%) and ligation (30% overall; infrarenal 37% vs suprarenal 13%, P =.01). Endovascular therapy was used in 2% of cases. Overall mortality was 42% (infrarenal 33% vs suprarenal 66%, P<.001). Among survivors, there was no difference in first 24-hour PRBC transfusion requirement, or hospital or ICU length of stay. Conclusions: Current PROOVIT registry data demonstrate continued use of ligation extending to the suprarenal IVC, limited adoption of endovascular management, and no dramatic increase in overall survival compared to previously published studies. Survival is likely related to IVC injury location and total injury burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medullary thyroid carcinoma is uncommon but accounts for approximately 4 to 5 per cent of all thyroid cancers. Although most cases are sporadic, close to one-fourth of cases result from germline mutations in the RET proto-oncogene. These mutations are clinically important because they predict the earliest age of medullary thyroid cancer diagnosis and clinical aggressiveness, which guide individualized management. This review covers the presentation, diagnosis, workup, current management, and future directions of the management of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Today's chance for cure depends on early and appropriate surgical resection. Further investigation of the cellular signaling pathways shown to be essential for the growth and spread of medullary thyroid carcinoma remains an active field with hope for providing targeted systemic therapy for patients with progressive disease.

- Abstract
Background: Delayed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) after head injury in older patients taking anticoagulants has been reported to be as high as 7.2%. Other studies suggest much lower rates. Its incidence and clinical management are controversial, with some recommending observation and repeat head imaging at 24 h., Objective: Our study aims to assess the incidence of delayed ICH in geriatric Emergency Department (ED) head trauma patients prescribed preinjury anticoagulants., Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study conducted at two hospital EDs from August 2019 to July 2020. All patients aged 65 years or older with acute head injury were eligible for enrollment. We conducted telephone follow-up at 14 and 60 days, and a chart review at 90 days. The primary study outcome was incidence of delayed ICH, which was defined as an initial negative head computed tomography scan followed by subsequent ICH believed to be caused by the initial traumatic event. We compared the rates of delayed ICH between patient cohorts based on anticoagulant use., Results: There were 3425 patients enrolled: 2300 (67.2%) were not on an anticoagulant, 249 (7%) were on preinjury warfarin, 780 (22.7%) were on a direct-acting oral anticoagulant, and 96 (2.8%) were on enoxaparin or heparin. The median age was 82 years (interquartile range 65-107), the majority were female (55.2%), and almost all were Caucasian (84.3%). An acute ICH was identified in 229 of 3425 (6.7%, 95% confidence interval 6-8%) and delayed ICH in 13 (0.4%, 95% confidence interval 0.2-0.6%). There were no differences in rates of delayed ICH between those who had been prescribed anticoagulants vs. those who had not (p = 0.45)., Conclusions: The incidence of delayed ICH is very low in older ED head trauma patients on prescribed pre-injury anticoagulants. Our data have important clinical implications for the management of blunt head trauma among older ED patients on anticoagulants., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
