Objective In the COVERT-MI randomised placebo-controlled trial, oral administration of high-dose colchicine at the time of reperfusion and for 5 days in acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction did not reduce infarct size but was associated with a significant increase in left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in comparison to placebo. We aimed to assess the 1-year clinical outcomes of the study population.

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have long been used as dialysis access in patients with end-stage renal disease; however, their maturation and long-term patency still fall short of clinical needs. Rodent models are irreplaceable to facilitate the study of mechanisms and provide reliable insights into clinical problems. The ideal rodent AVF model recapitulates the major features and pathology of human disease as closely as possible, and pre-induction of the uremic milieu is an important addition to

The healthcare industry is plagued by high turnover rates, which significantly affect both patient care and the operations of healthcare facilities. The emotionally taxing and demanding nature of healthcare jobs often drives professionals to seek other opportunities. High turnover also affects the morale of remaining staff, increases workload, and can lead to a decline in patient care quality.

Background The severity of sepsis is associated with systemic clotting activation. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed arrhythmia in patients with sepsis and can lead to a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to elucidate the association between oral anticoagulants and survival from septic patients complicated with AF. Methods The data of 8,828 septic patients, including 2,955 AF and 5,873 without AF, were all originated from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care

Abstract Aims The recent rise in the number of nonagenarians (age ≥ 90 years) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has revealed gaps in research, in particular on patients’ experiences. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore and describe nonagenarians’ internal resources and their experiences of the in-hospital pathway. Methods and results Nineteen nonagenarian patients (women n = 9), mean age 91 years, 9 acutely, and 10 electively treated, were consecutively enrolled from
