Background: There is limited contemporary data available on the subject of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, outcomes and predictors of patients with LVT recurrence after resolution.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving 346 patients with resolved LVT at baseline, derived from an echocardiography database at a tertiary medical centre, from March 2011 to January 2021.

Purpose: To assess the utility of inflammatory marker levels in defining orbital cellulitis (OC) severity.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at 2 tertiary care centers using a medical record search of billing codes from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2023. Patients were categorized into 2 cohorts-uncomplicated OC and OC with complication [subperiosteal abscess (SPA), orbital abscess (OA), or cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST)].

Purpose: To determine the real-world incidence and predictive factors for venous and arterial thromboembolic events (VTE/AT) in ovarian cancer patients treated with poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (iPARP).

Methods/patients: A multicenter retrospective study involving 329 ovarian cancer patients who initiated iPARP treatment between January 2015 and December 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of VTE/AT.

Background: Interatrial block (IAB) is an electrocardiographic manifestation of atrial conduction delay and structural remodeling. While it has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolic events, its potential role in predicting left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus formation remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between IAB and the presence of LAA thrombus in patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF) or atrial flutter referred for rhythm control procedures.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in differentiating ischemic and non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: This prospective observational study included 72 eyes with CRVO (36 ischemic, 36 non-ischemic), all presenting with macular edema. Participants underwent clinical evaluation, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and OCTA imaging.
