Article Abstract
Objective: To study possible associations between endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis over 14 consecutive years, based on medical records and insurance coding in a tertiary care endometriosis reference center.
Setting: Tertiary care reference center for endometriosis.
Patients: Retrospective analysis on all women submitted to laparoscopy in our Unit MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Intra-operative data about complications and fertility-impairing procedures, intra-, peri- and post-operative complications.
Interventions: Retrospective disease codes-triggered chart analysis.
Results: The study population was divided into two groups: Group 1 included women with PID and no endometriosis (n = 115); Group 2 included women with PID and endometriosis (n = 96). Endometriosis had a prevalence of 63 % in patients submitted to surgery for PID, significantly higher than the one reported in general population and than the one reported in a Tertiary Care Endometriosis Unit. A significantly higher number of salpingectiomes was needed in group 2 patients (208 versus 80, p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: This study seems to confirm an higher prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease in endometriosis patients. Intra-operative findings of PID with associated endometriosis show more aggressive patterns.

Impact of remote follow-up under an intelligent medical collaboration model on health promotion and clinical outcomes in patients with urinary calculi.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management was largely centered around renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) optimization, until recent emergence of novel therapeutics. However, slow adoption of guideline-directed therapy leaves patients vulnerable to disease progression. In 2022, a data-driven informatics approach was introduced to track real-time adherence to best practices.

Introduction: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi, remains a sig-nificant public health concern, particularly in developing countries. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance, including resistance to first-line drugs, fluoroquinolones, and the development of re-sistance to ceftriaxone, poses a significant threat to effective treatment.
Methods: This study investigated extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella Typhi isolates from blood samples of patients with suspected typhoid fever at a tertiary care hospital in Western Rajasthan, India, between April 2022 and May 2024.

Biological sex has a profound impact on disease severity, outcomes and diagnosis yet, its role in clinical disease is insufficiently explored. Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is associated with high mortality and multiple organ dysfunctions, where acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly worsens prognosis. Here we investigated the impact of sex on the diagnostic parameters used for severity grading in ACLF.

Objectives: To determine the incidence and subsequent complications of internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis after cannulation performed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to ensure adequate venous drainage during minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
Design: Single-center observational trial SETTINGS: Intensive care postoperative monitoring of cardiac surgery patients and diagnosis of IJV thrombi at a university tertiary hospital during the 13-month study period from December 1, 2022, to January 11, 2024.
Participants: 44 patients undergoing catheterization of the IJV for total CPB.
