Electrocautery and implantable cardiac devices
This is a literature review of the risks associated with bipolar and monopolar electrocautery in patients with a permanent pacemaker (PPM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The authors found 12 publications which met their inclusion criteria, but within these there...Proptosis reduction with teprotumumab versus surgical decompression
This study aims to explore whether fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR) can be used to determine the efficacy of teprotumumab when compared to surgical decompression. Simply put, a high FMR equates to more fat expansion and low FMR equates to more muscle...Shifting the paradigm of managing patients in medical retina: how real-world data can help us to improve clinical practice
