Coronary catheterization (CC) procedure inevitably exposes patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) to radiation, while cumulative radiation exposure may lead to higher risk of cancer....
This multi-center, retrospective study was based on the CC procedure in Cardiorenal ImprovemeNt II cohort (CIN-II, NCT05050877) among five regional central tertiary teaching hospitals in China between...
Of 136,495 hospitalized survivors without cancer at baseline (mean age: 62.3 ± 11.1 years, 30.9% female), 116,992 patients (85.7%) underwent CC procedure once, 15,184 patients (11.1%) on twice, and 4,...
Our data suggest that substantial proportion of CVD patients are exposed to multiple high levels of low-dose ionizing radiation from CC procedure, which is associated with an increased risk of cancer ...

We conducted a cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire to investigate the current status of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the use of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in Chine...
Laparoscopic techniques are being widely applied for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter (PDC) placement. The suture passer is a novel fixation tool that aims to reduce catheter migration. We compared t...
A retrospective study was conducted including 169 patients who underwent PDC placement surgery from January 2021 to May 2023. Based on the method employed, patients were divided into two groups: the s...
The SLG showed a statistically significant decrease in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and 6-month postoperative drift rate compared to the SG (...
Suture passer combined with two-hole laparoscopic PDC placement, characterized by simplicity and facilitating secure catheter fixation, was deemed safe and effective for patients undergoing PD. It red...
Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common primary ocular malignancy of childhood. Left untreated, it is 100% fatal and carries a substantial risk of impaired vision and removal of one or both eyes. Intra...
A retrospective chart review was conducted of 571 patients (697 eyes) and 2391 successful IAC sessions over 15 years. This cohort was separated into three 5-year periods (P1, P2, P3) to assess trends ...
From a total of 2402 attempted IAC sessions, there were 2391 successful IAC deliveries, consistent with a 99.5% success rate. The rate of successful super-selective catheterizations over the three per...
The overall rate of successful catheterization and IAC started high and has improved over 15 years, and catheterization-related complications are rare. There has been a significant trend towards tripl...
Non-selective beta-blockers (NSBB) are widely used in the treatment of patients with cirrhosis. Only about 50% respond with a sufficient reduction in their hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and ...
A prospective cross-over study of 39 patients with cirrhosis. Patients underwent hepatic vein catheterization and MRI with assessments of HVPG, cardiac function, systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics ...
Propranolol induced significant decreases in cardiac output (-12%) and blood flow of all vascular compartments, with the largest reductions seen in the azygos venous (-28%), portal venous (-21%), sple...
The changes in cardiac, systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics did not differ between NSBB responders and non-responders. The effects of acute NSBB blockade on renal flow seem to depend on the severity...
Genotype based personalized antiplatelet therapy in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been studied in clinical trials. Despite the demonstrated risk associated with CYP2C19 l...
The post-Norwood interstage period for infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a high-risk time with 10-20% of infants having a complication of recurrent coarctation of the aorta (RCoA). Many ...
To retrospectively analyze the clinical practicability and value of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound Phellodendron Phellodendri liquid in the treatment of br...
139 patients with lactational breast abscess discharged from our hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected. We divided them into groups according to treatment methods, analyzed whether...
We found that numerical rating scale(NRS) score and incidence of breast fistula in group A were significantly lower than other, the continuous decrease of postoperative drainage in group A was higher ...
Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive catheterization combined with compound cortex phellodendri fluid in the treatment of breast abscess during lactation can not only reduce the pain caused by dressin...
The effects of standardized risk-adjusted periprocedural management of cardiac catheterization procedures in Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remain unknown. We implemented a st...
All 430 invasively managed NSTEMI patients (mean age 72y; 70.9% male) in 2018 were analyzed for staff SOP adherence and in-hospital clinical outcomes. 207 patients (48.1%; RM+) received both RA and RM...
In an all-comer patient cohort with NSTEMI, staff adherence to risk-adjusted periprocedural management was independently associated with fewer major bleeding events. Staff adherence to SOP-specified r...
Heat application before peripheral intravenous catheterization is recommended for venous dilation. Hot pack application enlarges the venous diameter in healthy adults; however, hot towels (moist and d...
Eighty-eight healthy females aged 18-29 years were recruited for this quasi-experimental study. They underwent three types of heat applications (hot pack, moist hot towel, and dry hot towel [moist hot...
There were no significant differences in venous diameter and assessment scores after intervention between the dry hot towel and the hot pack groups, and the effect size was negligible (Cohen's d < 0.2...
This study was registered with University Hospital Medical Information Network in Japan (Registration No.: UMIN000048308. Registered on July 7, 2022)....
