PURPOSE: Elderly patients admitted to geriatrics departments often require peripheral venous catheters (PVC), which should be inserted and maintained following a series of preventive recommendations. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of a training bundle comprising measures aimed at reducing complications associated with the use of PVC in elderly patients admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital. METHODS: We performed a prospective study of patients who received a PVC within 24 h of admission to a geriatrics department...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA) have been commonly used for treating lower extremity varicose veins (LEVV). Their therapeutic effects have been widely recognized compared with conventional surgery. However, there have been some controversies regarding the choice between RFA and LA. The objective of our study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the early and long-term outcomes of RFA and LA. METHODS: A comprehensive search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify relevant literature on endovenous thermal ablation (ETA) for primary LEVV up until June 2023...

Antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare entity that must be systematically evoked in front of recurrent miscarriages associated with venous or arterial thrombosis, its diagnosis is based on a set of clinico-biological arguments. In rare cases, it can be associated with postpartum cardiomyopathy, which is defined by a dysfunction of the left ventricle with an LVEF<45%, which may or may not be associated with a dilation of the left ventricle. This association is rare and poorly described in the literature, which makes management difficult and uncodified...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cold application on amiodarone-related vein phlebitis. A quasi-experimental design was used. The study sample consisted of 79 patients who received an amiodarone infusion. The control group of the study consisted of patients receiving amiodarone treatment, while the intervention group consisted of patients receiving cold application during the amiodarone infusion. In the intervention group, after the start of amiodarone treatment, cold gel packs were applied a total of 12 times for 15 min at 2-h intervals...

Vascular access continues to be a key factor for the reliable and safe delivery of intravenous (IV) therapy to patients in any healthcare setting. Clinical guidelines advocate for the right vascular access device selection, in order to reduce avoidable complications, eg multiple stabs, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, insertion site infection, and blood stream infection, while improving efficiency and reducing costs. Peripheral intravenous catheters or cannulas (PIVCs) remain widely used for gaining vascular access in all clinical settings, with both adults and children, because they provide a relatively cheap and simple way to provide blood sampling and the prompt administration of IV medications...

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the mechanism underlying the induction of phlebitis by aescinate and create an early-warning model of phlebitis based on metabolomics. METHODS: Patients with cerebral infarction enrolled had been treated with aescinate. Plasma samples were collected either before administration of aescinate, upon the occurrence of phlebitis, or at the end of treatment. Non-targeted metabolomics and targeted amino acid metabolomics were carried out to analyze metabolic profiles and quantify the metabolites...

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel fibroinflammatory disorder characterized by enlargement of the involved organs, elevated IgG4 levels, and abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. Indeed, primary colon cancers arising from IgG4-RD are rare. This case report describes a rare occurrence of simultaneous colorectal cancer and IgG4-RD in the same lesion in a 62-year-old male patient. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy under the suspicion of primary colon cancer. The mass was grossly well-defined and yellowish tan, and the background colon was fibrotic...

BACKGROUND: Central venous catheters are widely used in clinical practice, and the incidence of central venous catheter occlusion is between 25 % and 38 %. The turbulence caused by the pulsatile flushing technique is harmful to the vascular endothelium and may lead to phlebitis. The low-speed continuous infusion catheter technique is a new type of continuous infusion that ensures that the catheter is always in a keep-vein-open state by continuous low-speed flushing; hence, avoiding the problem of catheter occlusion...

A woman in her 60s with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted with fever and abdominal pain. Laparoscopic examination with the differential diagnosis of peritoneal neoplasm and infection revealed granulomatous phlebitis in the resected greater omentum. Amorphous eosinophilic deposits observed in the resected tissue exhibited focal, weak positivity for Congo red but were strongly positive for thioflavin S, confirming their focal amyloid properties. Marked degeneration of elastic fibers was also evident. Electron microscopy revealed deposits around the affected elastic fibers...

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is classified into type 1 (IgG4-related) and type 2 (IgG4-unrelated) and the interpretation of pancreatic biopsy findings plays a crucial role in their diagnosis. Needle biopsy of type 1 AIP in the acute or subacute phase shows a diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, storiform fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis, and the infiltration of many IgG4-positive plasma cells. In a later phase, changes become less inflammatory and more fibrotic, making interpretations more challenging. Confirmation of the lack of 'negative' findings that are unlikely to occur in type 1 AIP (e...

A 39-year-old female patient with a history of Rhupus presented with sudden vision loss in her left eye. The patient was treated earlier, for her polyarthritis, with oral corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, and oral methotrexate, which were discontinued after 1 year of treatment. At presentation, fundus examination of the left eye revealed mild vitritis, perivenous sheathing, and hemorrhagic periphlebitis...

BACKGROUND: Short peripheral catheters (SPCs) are used to provide intravenous therapies in hospitalized patients. Recently, the category of SPC has become more complex, with the introduction in clinical practice of "integrated" SPCs (ISPCs), renewed regarding the material (polyurethane rather than polytetrafluoroethylene) and design (large wing; pre-assembled extension; preassembled needle-free connector (NFC)). METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized studies in hospitalized patients, analyzing the risk of overall catheter failure as well as the risk of each type of complication (occlusion, infiltration, thrombophlebitis, and dislodgement) for ISPCs compared to non-integrated SPCs...

BACKGROUND: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an inflammation-mediated autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of IgG4 plasma cells in target organs, storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis, accompanied by or without elevated serum IgG4 concentrations. Multiple sites can be involved, including large vessels. Coronary and pulmonary arteries are less involved, while simultaneous involvement of coronary and pulmonary arteries is less reported. This case is unique in terms of simultaneous involvement of coronary and pulmonary arteries in a female patient with possible IgG4-RD and the first review of relevant domestic literature...

Patients receiving an intravenous (IV) drug infusion are at risk of developing thrombophlebitis, which is characterized by redness and swelling of the blood vein. The connection between IV infusion and thrombophlebitis is not entirely clear. It is crucial to characterize the evolving hemodynamic environment around the infusion site when developing new intravenous formulations, since too rapid dilution may cause precipitation in the vein, while too little dilution might cause phlebitis. In this study, a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence modeling inside a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) framework has been utilized to simulate the flow and mixing characteristics of an infusion entering the bloodstream...
