| | Majority of complications from angioplasty occur within 18 hours |
| | Gilchrist adds future research needs to be focused on high- and low-risk subsets of patients to target early complications and focus the intensity and length of therapy based on the needs of the individual patient. | | | Complications occurred in 178 patients in the trial and included heart attack, the need for additional surgery, or death. | | | Researchers at Penn State College of Medicine in collaboration with several other universities have found that more than 80 percent of complications from angioplasty procedures occur within 18 hours of treatment. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Minimizing ascites |
| | SBP of ascites is an important complication of cirrhosis that is present in up to 20% of patients with an acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage at the time of admission to a medical facility (15). | | | Although its efficacy is comparable to that of LVP (10), the peritoneovenous shunt is not first-line therapy because of the high incidence of morbidity and frequent thrombosis formation at the venous tip of the shunt. | | | The development of ascites heralds a progressive deterioration in a patient's clinical condition, and only 50% of affected patients survive 2 years after onset (2). |

| | Iatrogenic pneumothorax during breast surgery |
| | During the process of dissecting the breast parenchyma and elevating the necessary skin and nipple-areola flaps for the various reduction mammaplasty surgical techniques, a surgeon is almost always faced with the temporary surgical exposure of the ribs and their intercostal muscular and fascial tissue. | | | Remain calm and maintain a soft-spoken professional demeanor at all times – this is true surgical leadership that is respected. | | | The following is compiled from Dr Montero’s past experiences in treating complications and should not supercede the advice of a Board-Certified Thoracic Surgeon and consulting the thoracic surgical literature. |

| | Michael Seckl and colleagues from Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK, assessed 77 such twin pregnancies to establish the risks to the mother and baby of continuing the pregnancy compared with termination. | | | Edward Newlands (one of the investigators) comments: "Our findings, therefore, suggest that women with twin pregnancies complicated by a hydatidiform mole who wish to continue their pregnancy, have a 40% chance of a successful outcome. | | | Moreover, this choice is associated with a relatively small chance of serious obstetric complications and does not seem to increase the risk of developing malignant disease." |
