Article Abstract
Epistaxis is one of the most common complications of nasotracheal intubation and can be life-threatening. However, there is little discussion in the current literature on the acute management of massive epistaxis after nasotracheal extubation. This is a report of 2 patients who experienced severe unanticipated nasal bleeding immediately after extubation, 1 after a surgical procedure for oral cancer and another after restorative dental treatment. In both cases the significant epistaxis was managed successfully with a Foley balloon catheter used to pack the posterior nasal cavity. The Foley catheter technique may be useful for managing and arresting sudden postextubation epistaxis.

Objectives: The Charlson comorbidity index reflects overall comorbidity burden and has been applied in cardiovascular medicine. However, its role in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Charlson comorbidity index in this setting and to construct a nomogram model for early risk identification and individualized management to improve outcomes.

Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) is characterized by the fusion gene which produces a constitutively active tyrosine kinase which drives disease pathogenesis and is associated with resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the historical treatment paradigm for Ph+ ALL, was associated with poor outcomes. The introduction of inhibitors of ABL1 revolutionized the treatment of Ph+ ALL.

Background/aims: While the clinical effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is well established in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), its specific impact on cause-specific mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of GDMT on both cardiac and non-cardiac mortality in AMI patients.
Methods: Data of the KAMIR-NIH, a multicenter prospective registry of AMI in Korea between 2011 and 2015, were included.
