Recurrent Haemoptysis

Thirty-seven patients presenting with massive or recurrent haemoptysis secondary to tuberculous aetiology were subjected to bronchial artery angiography. Of these, failure to catheterize the bleeding vessel occurred in two patients while embolization was withheld in two patients due to the presence of anterior spinal artery arising from a common intercosto-bronchial trunk. Immediate arrest of bleeding was performed in the remaining 33 patients by selective embolization of the abnormal bronchial arteries with a resorbable material (Gelfoam). Regular follow up for a duration of 6 months after the procedure revealed relapse of haemoptysis in four patients; three were treated by re-embolization of the abnormal bleeding vessels while one patient died due to aspiration immediately on admission. No recurrence of bleeding was seen in the remaining 29 patients. It is concluded that bronchial artery embolization is an effective treatment for immediate control of life-threatening haemoptysis.

Bleeding History

Objectives: Describe bleeding characteristics and evaluate the correlation between surgical-related bleeding and bleeding risk according by ISTH – BATs. Methods: Research was conducted on 340 surgical patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Results: The percentage of patients with bleeding during and after surgery is 13.5%. The proportion of patients at risk of bleeding according to BATs is 1.8%. There was a correlation between bleeding risk according to ISTH - BAT with bleeding status during and after surgery with p = 0.004. The positive predictive value of ISTH - BATs is 66.7%, negative predictive value is 87.4%, the sensitivity is 8.7%, the specificity is 99.3%. Conclusions: Surgery has a high risk of abnormal bleeding. Bleeding history has important implications in assessing bleeding risk during and after surgery. The ISTH - BATs is a bleeding history assessment tool that can be used to assess the risk of bleeding before surgery.

Von Willebrand Disease, the most common bleeding disorder, is inherited equally by men and women, though bleeding symptoms are usually more evident in females due to their menstrual cycles and childbirth. The goal of developing a youth outreach project was to empower young female high school students with knowledge and resources about abnormal bleeding. The 75-minute presentation was given to five Grade 9 Girls’ Health classes across the Limestone District School Board, and led by a Hemophilia Nurse, supported by a Clinical Research Assistant and a 2nd year undergraduate student, who interacted with students and documented the presentation with photographs. Queen’s REB approved the project, and parental and student permission was obtained for photographs. Using Kahoot, an interactive online quiz program, students participated in short pre- and post-presentation quizzes to evaluate their knowledge and learning. Questions including "True/False: Iron deficiency is normal and expected among young females," were posed within the set of 9 questions on topics of anemia, menstruation, and abnormal bleeding. 84 students participated, aged 14 and 15, and 58 had evaluable quiz results. The results showed an average pre-presentation score of 77%, ranging from 72-83%, with a post-presentation quiz average of 92%, ranging from 83-95%. It was determined that students’ post-presentation scores were significantly higher (p<0.001) than those before the presentation, providing evidence for an increase in student understanding. Testing efficacy of these presentations can help determine their level of utility as a resource for health teachers to implement in their classrooms.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and toxicity of the herbal supplement PC-Spes in prostate cancer patients. METHODS: Literature search through MEDLINE (1966–October 2001), PubMed, and abstracts from the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (1995–2001). RESULTS: PC-Spes was associated with biochemical and clinical response in some prostate cancer patients. The mechanisms of action of PC-Spes appeared to be related to its estrogenic activity. CONCLUSIONS: PC-Spes is associated with some efficacy in prostate cancer patients. Due to the limited data available, it should not be used to replace standard androgen suppression therapy in androgen-dependent patients. PC-Spes may have a role for patients who have failed standard treatments for androgen-independent disease and have no history of thromboembolism or abnormal bleeding. PC-Spes has a toxicity profile similar to those of androgen suppression and estrogen therapy.

Abstract Objectives To clarify characteristic angiographic features and clinical efficacy of selective transarterial embolization (TAE) of retained placenta with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Methods The study cohort comprised 22 patients (mean age, 33.5 years; range, 22–24 years) who underwent selective TAE for retained placenta with abnormal bleeding between January 2018 and December 2020 at our institution. Angiographic images were reviewed by two certified radiologists with consensus. Medical records were reviewed to evaluate the efficacy of TAE. Angiographic features of retained placenta, technical success (disappearance of abnormal findings on angiography), complications, clinical outcomes (hemostatic effects and recurrent bleeding) were evaluated. Results Pelvic angiography showed a dilated vascular channel mimicking arteriovenous fistulas or an aneurysm contiguous with dilated uterine arteries in the mid-arterial–capillary phase in 20 patients; it showed contrast brush in the remaining two patients. TAE technical success was achieved in all patients. No major complications were observed in any patients. Fifteen patients were followed up with expectant management after TAE; all but one patient showed no re-bleeding during the follow-up period (mean follow-up interval, 3.4 months; range, 1–17 months). One patient showed minor rebleeding, which resolved spontaneously. Seven patients underwent scheduled hysteroscopic resection within 1 week after TAE, and no excessive bleeding was observed during or after the surgical procedure in all seven patients. Conclusions The characteristic angiographic feature of retained placenta is “dilated vascular channel that mimic low flow AVM.” TAE is a safe and effective treatment to manage retained placenta with abnormal bleeding.
