Objectives: Emergency treatment of patients with severe subphrenic vascular trauma often adopts resuscitative thoracotomy or endovascular balloon. This case report proposes a non-invasive method to treat patients with vascular trauma, mainly through ultrasound-guided positioning of the proximal aorta and applying pressure to occlude the aorta and limit the distal blood flow, using bedside ultrasound to achieve accurate compression, continuous monitoring of its efficacy, and early detection of the recovery of autonomic circulation in patients with cardiac arrest. Methods: We introduced a case of left iliac artery injury caused by a knife wound and subsequent cardiac arrest. Results We tried to externally compress the proximal aorta under bedside US guidance to achieve and maintain the recovery of the autonomic circulation. This allowed the patient to be transferred from the emergency department to the operating room. Conclusion: This case demonstrated that ultrasound-guided proximal external aortic compression can be used as a bridge for further treatment of patients with vascular trauma, such as resuscitative thoracotomy or endoaortic balloon or covered stent occlusion.

Objective: To summarize the current research progress of machine learning and venous thromboembolism. Methods: The literature on risk factors, diagnosis, prevention and prognosis of machine learning and venous thromboembolism in recent years was reviewed. Results: Machine learning is the future of biomedical research, personalized medicine, and computer-aided diagnosis, and will significantly promote the development of biomedical research and healthcare. However, many medical professionals are not familiar with it. In this review, we will introduce several commonly used machine learning algorithms in medicine, discuss the application of machine learning in venous thromboembolism, and reveal the challenges and opportunities of machine learning in medicine. Conclusion: The incidence of venous thromboembolism is high, the diagnostic measures are diverse, and it is necessary to classify and treat machine learning, and machine learning as a research tool, it is more necessary to strengthen the special research of venous thromboembolism and machine learning.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) causes severe symptoms and complications in the general population, but the prevalence, related risk factors, and treatment of CVI are unknown among nurses. The demographics and occupational factors of nurses from a university hospital were collected by questionnaires, and the presentation of CVI was confirmed by the specialist vascular surgeons. A total of 1606 participants were enrolled, and the prevalence of CVI was 7.5%. After multivariate adjustment, CVI was positively related to deep venous thrombosis history (OR 6.44, 95% CI 2.73-15.22), increased standing time (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.20-4.10), and increased time in night shift rotation (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.29-3.14). CVI was negatively related to oral contraceptives (OR.43, 95% CI.21-.87). Of the participants, 72.5% with CVI received compression therapy. For them, wearing compression stockings with a pressure of >20 mmHg or for >4 h/day significantly increased the rate of symptom relief, while the length of compression stockings made no difference. Thus, it was beneficial for nurses to spend less time standing and shorten their time in night shift rotation. Wearing compression stockings with sufficient pressure and for enough time was recommended for CVI symptom relief. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Professional vascular societies and forums have disseminated patient information on education materials about chronic venous disease (CVD) via their official websites. While online patient education material is readily available with an Internet connection, its practical utility may be limited for patients with low health literacy. Methods: Six readability measures were used to evaluate the patient education materials regarding CVD published by 12 professional medical societies. Results: Patient education materials on CVD vary considerably in length among medical societies, and their comprehensibility points toward a difficult level. The mean readability score was 11.20, prominently above the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and American Medical Association (AMA) recommendations. Conclusion: Our analysis of patient education materials produced by 12 professional vascular societies and forums found that all materials exceeded the recommended readability levels. The innovative section "Information for patients'' in the ESVS CVD guidelines also exceeded these levels. Improving the readability of patient education materials is essential to meet patient health literacy standards and might improve patient outcomes in managing CVD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma (IVLCH) of the neck is a kind of rare benign tumor of vein. Purpose: In this paper, we report two female patients who were hospitalized because of neck masses. Results: The tumors in the neck veins of our patients were white oval masses with pedicle, clearly defined and of different sizes. Their immunohistochemical staining results showed CD31 (+), CD34 (+), SMA (+), ERG (+). The pathological diagnosis was intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma. Conclusions: Due to the location, morphology and immunohistochemistry, This lesion needs to be distinguished from other intravascular lesions such as thrombus, hemangiosarcoma and papillary endothelial hyperplasia.

To explore the preventive effect of different modes of ankle pump exercise on femoral vein PICC catheter-related thrombosis.Convenient sampling method was used to select 172 patients with lung cancer with PICC catheterization through femoral vein admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University as the observation group and control group. Comfort angle ankle pump exercise mode and maximum angle ankle pump exercise mode were adopted. We have compared the differences in the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis, unplanned catheter removal, fatigue score, and catheter retention time between two groups of patients.The incidence of catheter-related thrombosis, unplanned catheter removal, fatigue score, and catheter retention time were statistically significant (p < .05) in both groups of patients.The maximum angle ankle pump exercise mode can reduce the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and unplanned catheter removal in patients with lung cancer with PICC catheterization through femoral vein, increase catheter retention time, but it can easily cause patient fatigue. In clinical practice, patient tolerance should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
