INTRODUCTION:
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is one of the most common pathologies in the general population of adults in both industrialized and developing countries.1 the most severe form of CVD is venous ulceration with an overall prevalence of about 1 % in the adult population, which increases
Background Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are known to be at risk for thrombo-embolic events. Virchow's triad describes the major risk factors in three categories: venous stasis, vessel injury and activation of blood coagulation. A prolonged mechanical ventilation together with
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disorder caused by wear and tear on the joint over time; as a result, the protective cartilage of the bone in the joint gradually wears down. The lifetime risk of developing OA in the knee, with symptoms such as pain, aching, and stiffness, is 40% in men and 47% in
Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using

Provoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is traditionally considered a transient acute disorder requiring a limited duration of anticoagulant therapy. Patients who suffer deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following major surgery, major trauma, or periods of immobility are generally
Lumbar spinal fusions are becoming increasingly popular and prevalent in the treatment of a variety of spinal pathologies, but predominantly for degenerative disease which is most prevalent in the obese and or older population. These operations can result in relatively high post operative surgical
Acute and chronic venous disorders of the lower extremities affect millions of people and cause substantial disability. Surgeons and pathologists identified the presence of 'spur-like' abnormalities of the left common iliac vein, these abnormalities were hypothesized to result from compression
Nowadays, morbid obesity is a major health problem that the investigatorsface in every age groups. In the treatment of morbid obesity, sleeve gastrectomy is applied more and more frequently. However, sleeve gastrectomy is a stapler dependent operation and sleeve gastrectomy without the use of
Heart disease and failure are the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, despite significant advances in medical technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Cardiovascular disease may arise for various reasons including the steadily increasing incidence of obesity, type 2
OVERALL STUDY OBJECTIVES
1. To develop and internally validate a risk assessment model for predicting the risk of in-hospital VTE in critically ill patients (phase 1)
2. To externally validate this new model (phase 2)
3. To compare the performance of this model to other VTE prediction models
BACKGROUND
Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a dreaded major complication after colorectal surgery. The overall incidence of anastomotic dehiscence and subsequent leaks is 2 to 7 percent when performed by experienced surgeons. The lowest leak rates are found with ileocolic anastomoses (1 to 3 percent) and
Introduction Obesity, poor physical fitness and low muscular strength are associated with all-cause mortality. Loss of bodyweight is commonly achieved by diet with or without exercise intervention. However, both diet and diet+exercise programs are often followed by weight regain and it is generally
Human blood samples will be collected prospectively from 50 obese patients, who are enrolled and planning to undertake bariatric surgery in the Outpatient Bariatric Surgery Clinic at Tulane University, HSC (Christopher G. Ducoin, MD, MPH; Chair of Bariatric Surgery Clinic and Surgeon, and Shauna
