Modified screening and management strategies for chronic rhinosinusitis in hematologic patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Sinonasal evaluation should be targeted to the high-risk group. ESS is effective in managing CRS, while control of CRS is not determinant of overall survival in patients receiving HSCT.PMID:38531697 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.03.013 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

End-stage renal disease should not Be considered a contraindication for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
CONCLUSIONS: ESRD was not an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality after VA-ECMO. The survival of ESRD patients was not inferior to those without ESRD when receiving ECPR. Therefore, ESRD should not be considered a contraindication to VA-ECMO in adults.PMID:38527921 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.03.012 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Sequential multimodal treatments with chemotherapy and surgery for advanced soft tissue sarcoma may be associated with better survival than chemotherapy
CONCLUSION: Surgery may be more beneficial for the patients who receive chemotherapy. Our results support evaluation of sequential multimodal treatments strategy including surgery and chemotherapy in patients with advanced STS.PMID:38521760 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.03.007 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Hemorrhage risk prediction after computed tomography-guided lung biopsy: Clinical parameters and quantitative pulmonary vascular analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Higher-grade pulmonary hemorrhage may occur after CT-guided lung biopsy. Lesion depth, vessel density, and BV5 are independent risk factors for higher-grade pulmonary hemorrhage. Nomograms integrating clinical parameters and radiographic pulmonary vasculature measures offer enhanced capability for assessing hemorrhage risk following CT-guided lung biopsy, thereby facilitating improved patient clinical care.PMID:38514373 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.03.011 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)
