Background: Since 2013, we have performed conversion surgery after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for initially unresectable locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (LA-HCC).
Methods: Between 2013 and 2021, we assessed the surgical and oncological outcomes and pathological findings of patients with LA-HCC without extrahepatic spread (EHS) whose tumors converted from unresectable to resectable status with the New-FP regimen HAIC.
Results: We censored 153 patients with LA-HCC (Child-Pugh A, without EHS) indicated for HAIC.
Patent ductus venosus is a congenital portosystemic shunt that may cause progressive portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver. Embolization of the Arantius' duct is the first choice of treatment in infants and children.

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), mainly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), persists as a critical contributor to hospital-acquired mortality. Despite its largely preventable nature, early 2024 data from Bon Secours Hospital in Cork revealed alarmingly low compliance with VTE prophylaxis protocol.
Aim: This study evaluated the implementation efficacy of VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis in adult hospitalised patients at Bon Secours Hospital, Cork, according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.
