Abstract

Background: The literature on the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in non-surgical hospitalized patients reveals a multifaceted approach to addressing this significant health concern. VTE, which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality within this population. The urgency for effective preventive measures is underscored by the fact that a substantial percentage of hospitalized patients are at risk due to factors such as immobility, obesity, and advanced age (Forgerini et al., 2019). Literature Review: The literature also reveals significant gaps in adherence to prophylaxis protocols. Studies indicate that while evidence-based measures are critical for reducing VTE incidence, adherence remains inconsistent. The need for systematic risk assessment models (RAMs) is emphasized, as these tools can help identify high-risk patients and tailor prophylactic strategies accordingly. Moreover, the literature discusses the importance of integrating clinical decision support systems to enhance the implementation of VTE prophylaxis protocols. Conclusion: In conclusion, the literature underscores the complexity of VTE prevention in non-surgical hospitalized patients, emphasizing the need for improved adherence to prophylactic measures, effective risk assessment strategies, and the integration of clinical decision support systems. The current gaps in practice highlight the necessity for ongoing education and training for healthcare providers, as well as the implementation of comprehensive strategies to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the incidence of VTE.

Abstract

Background: The literature on the use of probiotics for children with recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) has revealed a complex interplay of potential benefits and significant gaps in research. Initial studies, such as that by (Gordon et al., 2017), identified a limited number of trials and called for clearer outcome measures, highlighting the necessity for well-defined metrics such as pain severity and psychosocial impacts. This foundational work set the stage for a deeper exploration of probiotics' role in managing functional abdominal pain disorders among children aged 4 to 18. Literature Review: Subsequent reviews, including that by (Abbott et al., 2018), emphasized the multifactorial nature of RAP, suggesting that various psychological and physical triggers may contribute to this condition. In examining specific probiotic strains, (Hojsak et al., 2018) acknowledged the potential benefits of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, yet highlighted the absence of comprehensive guidelines for their clinical application. Further exploration by (Capozza et al., 2022) reiterated the necessity for caution, indicating that while certain probiotics may offer therapeutic benefits, the current evidence does not support their routine use for prevention. Conclusion: In conclusion, while there is accumulating evidence supporting the efficacy of certain probiotic strains in managing recurrent abdominal pain in children, the literature also reveals substantial gaps that must be addressed. Future research should focus on conducting larger, well-designed trials that explore optimal strains, dosages, and long-term effects. Establishing clear guidelines and treatment protocols will be essential for integrating probiotics into clinical practice effectively.

Abstract

Background: The management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with comorbidities is a complex and evolving field, as evidenced by the growing body of literature. The association between PsA, psoriasis, and cardiovascular risk factors has been highlighted in several studies, revealing the intricate interplay between systemic inflammation and comorbid conditions. Literature Review: The literature reveals a significant correlation between PsA, psoriasis, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic syndrome (MS). Chronic inflammation associated with PsA and psoriasis is a critical factor that exacerbates the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and other comorbidities, including obesity, hypertension, and diabetes (Peluso et al., 2019), (Peralta et al., 2019), (Kumthekar & Ogdie, 2020). Conclusion: In conclusion, the literature underscores the necessity of a holistic approach to managing PsA in patients with comorbidities. Effective treatment must encompass both the management of psoriatic disease and the associated health risks, with careful consideration of the interactions between therapies and comorbid conditions. Future research should focus on refining treatment strategies that address these complexities to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of comorbidities in this population.
