Shear Wave Elastography for Distinguishing Cervical Lymph Node Malignancy: A Prospective, Observational Study.

: Differentiating between benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes (LNs) is a critical challenge in the clinical setting. We assessed the ability of shear wave elastography (SWE) to distinguish between lymphomas and solid tumor metastases presenting as cervical adenopathy. : We performed a single-center, prospective, observational study in adults with clinically suspicious cervical lymph nodes.

Bleeding and thromboembolic risk in patients under anticoagulant therapy receiving oral surgery: a systematic review.

Background And Aims: There is an increasing number of patients with cardiovascular diseases who require anticoagulant treatment to address the underlying disease. Types of anticoagulants include vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin and coumarin derivatives, and also newer oral anticoagulants, including rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran. The use of these anticoagulants may impact the condition of patients undergoing oral surgery.
