“…The use of oral contraceptives, as well as hormone replacement therapies, pregnancy, the immediate postpartum state, and obstetrical complications are all risk factors for these complications[ 119 ]. There are many such factors, however, including ethnicity[ 120 ]. Despite the many contributing factors, pregnant women on APs have been shown to be at significantly higher risk for venous thromboembolism than pregnant women in the general population[ 121 , 122 ].…”

Many brain diseases, including schizophrenia, affect men and women unequally - either more or less frequently, or at different times in the life cycle, or to varied degrees of severity. With updates from recent findings, this paper reviews the work of my research group over the last 40 years and underscores issues that remain critical to the optimal care of women with schizophrenia, issues that overlap with, but are not identical to, the cares and concerns of men with the same diagnosis. Clinicians need to be alert not only to the overarching needs of diagnostic groups, but also to the often unique needs of women and men.

“…Venous thromboembolism (VTE) presents as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) and affects approximately 1 to 2 per 1000 people per year 1,2 . While untreated PE can be fatal, the risk of death decreases with treatment, and mortality rates have declined over the past 2 decades 3,4 .…”

Background Patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (PE) are reported to experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and existential anxiety following their diagnosis. They may also experience negative changes in perspective and hypervigilance of PE symptoms. Objective The aim of this study was to document the mental and emotional experience associated with PE diagnosis through the lens of PTSD, to better understand the factors involved in psychological distress following receipt of a PE diagnosis. Patients/Methods This was a mixed‐methods study in two parts: (i) measurement of self‐reported PTSD symptoms among patients attending thrombosis clinic and (ii) semistructured interviews with patients about their experience of receiving a diagnosis of PE and its psychological aftermath. Results Of 72 patients who participated in the survey, two met the criteria for a tentative diagnosis of PTSD. The semistructured interviews with 37 patients suggested that around half of respondents experienced some degree of ongoing psychological distress. Those with psychological distress often recalled painful symptoms, recalled diagnosis delivery as stressful, worried about PE recurrence, and had anxieties about stopping their anticoagulant medication. Few patients reported inclination to seek support from professional mental health services. Conclusions We found ongoing and untreated psychological distress among people who were previously diagnosed with PE.

“…Moreover, the ndings are not readily generalizable to ACLR with other graft types, such as quadriceps tendon, bone-patellar-bone graft, or allograft. The ndings may be ethnicity-speci c. However, previous studies have not found signi cant difference in tendency to VTE between middle eastern and white ethnicities [25]. Also, the lack of access to some data such as the length of surgery might have hidden some potential sources of bias.…”

Objective Little evidence exists on the optimal agent for thromboprophylaxis following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of aspirin and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) to prevent symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) following arthroscopic ACLR and their safety of use. Methods In this retrospective study, we investigated patients who underwent ACLR surgery between March 2016 and March 2021 based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The rate of venous thromboembolism events and wound complications were statistically compared between the patients that received an LMWH and those who took aspirin for thromboprophylaxis. We also used logistic regression modeling to assess the effect of the prophylactic agent on the likelihood of developing VTE. Result 761 patients (761 knees) were included. 458 and 303 patients had received aspirin and LMWH, respectively. There was no significant difference in the demographic factors of the two groups. Five patients in the aspirin group (1.09%) and five patients in the LMWHs group (1.65%) developed a symptomatic VTE event (P value = 0.530). The two groups were not significantly different in terms of other complications, such as hemarthrosis or surgical site infection (P > 0.05). Conclusion Aspirin is as effective as LMWH in preventing VTE events after ACL reconstruction. Prospective studies including a no-prophylaxis group are warranted to assess this issue further. Level of Evidence: III
