"atheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a consequential complication in patients receiving long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN), compromising central venous access, nutrition support and, in some cases, survival. Yet whether routine prophylactic anticoagulation should be used to prevent CRT remains a clinical dilemma" Tabone et al (2025).
"Reliable venous access is critical for breast cancer chemotherapy, yet the optimal choice between peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and implantable port catheters (IPC) remains unclear. This meta-analysis compares complication risks associated with these devices in patients with breast cancer" Chen et al (2025).
"This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulator-based repetitive training on the aseptic non-touch IV placement technique using an ultrasound-guided peripheral vascular access (USPVA) simulator among physicians working in the emergency department (ED), anesthesiology, and medical intensive care units (ICUs) at a tertiary training hospital" Özen et al (2025).
"ChatGPT has the potential to offer more integrated health information than traditional search engines, thereby influencing how patients access knowledge. However, the presence of conflicting and decontextualized information introduces significant risks, such as patient confusion and anxiety, which can negatively impact trust, shared decision-making, and adherence to medical advice" Yang et al (2025).
"The Media-Fill Test is a crucial procedure in the pharmaceutical industry, especially for the production of sterile drugs that do not undergo terminal sterilization (meaning they are prepared directly under aseptic conditions)" Bruno et al (2025).
"Community pharmacies in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland compounded a range of medications as bolus-dose prefilled syringes for patients receiving palliative care. These results will inform future planned studies on the stability and sterility of these syringes" Griffiths et al (2025).
"While EoS treatment was consistent across units, there remained wide variation in antibiotic regimens used for LoS and meningitis, and for neonates with indwelling central venous catheters" Kantyka et al (2025).
"This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of continuous saline infusion versus standard of care, including intermittent flushing and catheter lock, in preventing catheter occlusion" Kondo et al (2025).
"This case demonstrates an atypical presentation-compartment syndrome post-phlebotomy-with refractory bleeding due to factor VIII inhibitors" Lam et al (2025).
"Device-assisted catheterization may improve first-attempt success and reduce procedure time in neonates. Evidence on safety is limited. Due to variability in study methodologies and outcome reporting, high-quality RCTs with standardized outcome measures are needed" Shcherbatiuk et al (2025).
"Following doxorubicin administration, the patient exhibited localized heat, swelling, pain, and lameness in the right forelimb, indicative of phlebitis. Ultrasonography confirmed chemotherapy-induced phlebitis with thickening of the right cephalic vein wall, intraluminal thrombi, and significant perivascular edema" Hwang et al (2025).
"This may be the first reported case of contrast medium extravasation injury in the hand managed with TcPO₂-guided fasciotomy. TcPO₂ and forward-looking infrared thermography may serve as alternative noninvasive tools to support early decision-making for fasciotomy in cases where traditional clinical signs are absent"
