Prescription of pregabalin for prevention of acute post-mastectomy pain syndrome (APMPS): a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Mastectomy is generally considered the most effective treatment option for breast cancer. However, it is linked to a variety of complications that contribute to an elevated morbidity. Acute Post Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (APMPS) is 2 months or more of neuropathic pain after mastectomy.

Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A propensity-matched national analysis on surgical outcomes and healthcare disparities.

Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma of distal pancreas is hard to treat due to late presentation. While open distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy has had favourable outcomes, it has also had many complications which were low among Minimally invasive procedures. This retrospective cohort analysis compares minimally invasive and open distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) outcomes using a national inpatient database.

Study the relationship between left atrial (LA) volume and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and LV hypertrophy: Correlate LA volume with cardiovascular risk factors.

Heart failure (HF) with normal ejection fraction - the isolated diastolic heart failure, depicts increasing prevalence and health care burden in recent times. Having less mortality rate compared to systolic heart failure but high morbidity, it is evolving as a major cardiac concern. With increasing clinical use of Left atrial volume (LAV) quantitation in clinical settings, LAV has emerged as an important independent predictor of cardiovascular outcome in HF with normal ejection fraction.

Standardization of Pre-operative Evaluation to Improve the Outcome of Arteriovenous Fistula for Vascular Access of Hemodialysis: A Review of 700 Cases.

Background With the advent of COVID-19, mortality rates of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) rose by 37% which makes its treatment an important part of healthcare. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is linked to higher patient survival rates. Cimino-Brescia fistula is the most effective vascular access technique, but it has a high rate of primary failure (PF) and a several-week maturation period before it can be used.

The association of Pulmonary Hypertension and right ventricular systolic function - updates in diagnosis and treatment.

Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is an essential but neglected component in cardiac evaluation, and its importance to the contribution to overall cardiac function is undermined. It is not only sensitive to the effect of left heart valve disease but is also more sensitive to changes in pressure overload than the left ventricle. Pulmonary Hypertension is the common and well-recognized complication of RV systolic dysfunction.
