Abstract Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is associated with artery or venous thrombosis. However, non-thrombus venous stenosis is rarely reported.Case presentation: This study described two young women with APS-related internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS) and reviewed current literatures on this issue, including clinical features, diagnosis and treatment.Conclusions: IJVS is a rather rare complication of APS. This is first report of non-thrombus venous stenosis resulted from aPL mediated vessel wall damage. High titer of aPL could induce stenosis without thrombosis formation due to long-term standardized anticoagulation. Follow-up of autoantibodies are necessary to be done dynamically. Treatment for patients with IJVS of autoimmune etiology should be concomitant use of anticoagulants and steroids.

Port Catheters

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine long-term complications developing in venous port catheters inserted in oncological patients. Patients and methods: A total of 205 oncology patients (124 males, 81 females; mean age: 50.1±22.3 years; range, 6 months to 90 years) in whom vascular port catheters were inserted between March 2015 and April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The first preference for port catheter application was the right internal jugular vein. If failed, the contralateral internal jugular vein was used. The procedure was carried out in the operating room with ultrasound (US) guidance under general anesthesia. All patients were evaluated in terms of pneumothorax, catheter orientation, and kinking and malposition after the procedure. Results: A total 219 vascular ports were inserted in 205 patients. The indication for port catheter insertion was the receipt of long-term chemotherapy. Catheters were changed in four patients due to infection and in five patients due to catheter migration. The sites of catheter migration were the right atrium in two, the right ventricle in one, the main pulmonary artery in one, and the right pulmonary artery in one patient. Conclusion: Port catheter insertion under US guidance is a well-designed procedure which can be performed with low complication rates by an experienced surgeon in an aseptic environment. Even if complications develop, they can be usually successfully treated in most cases.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
