The logarithm of HR of PCI vs CABG for MACCE increased as follow-up duration increased (β = 0.057, P = .025). PCI vs CABG consistently increased 5-year MACCE across various subgroups defined by 7 factors of interest (Psubgroup ranged from .156 to .830).
 
  The long-term benefit of CABG vs PCI on MACCE in patients with left main coronary disease is consistent across patients with different clinical characteristics. The relative benefit of CABG on MACCE is driven by that of CABG on unplanned revascularization, and becomes greater as time goes on.

  Sacral fracture is the most frequent posterior injury among unstable pelvic ring fractures and is prone to massive hemorrhage and hemodynamic instability. Contrast extravasation (CE) on computed tomography (CT) is widely used as an indicator of significant arterial bleeding. However, while CE is effective to detect significant arterial bleeding but negative result cannot completely rule out massive bleeding. Therefore, additional factors help to compensate CE for the prediction of early hemodynamically unstable condition.We evaluated the risk factors that predict CE on enhanced computed CT in patients with sacral fractures. Patients were classified into 2 groups CE positive on enhanced CT of the pelvis [CE(+)] and CE negative [CE(-)]. We compared age, sex, injury severity score (ISS), systolic blood pressure (sBP), type of sacral fracture based on Denis classification, platelet (PLT), base excess, lactate, prothrombin time-international normalized ratio, hemoglobin (Hb), activated partial thromboplastin timthe curve value for fibrinogen was 0.88, and the optimal cut-off value for prediction was 199 mg/dL.The fibrinogen levels on admission can predict contrast extravasation on enhanced CT in patients with sacral fractures. The optimal cut-off value of fibrinogen for CE(+) prediction in sacral fracture was 199 mg/dL. The use of fibrinogen to predict CE(+) could lead to prompt and effective treatment of active arterial hemorrhage in sacral fracture.
  Waterproofing spray-associated pneumonitis (WAP) proceeds to acute respiratory failure and is characterized by diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities on computed tomography; however, the detailed characteristics of WAP are unknown. Therefore, this study identified the characteristics of WAP from comparisons with those of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), which show similar features to WAP.Adult patients with WAP, AEP, and HP treated in Fukujuji Hospital from 1990 to 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. Furthermore, data from patients with WAP were collected from publications in PubMed and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society and combined with data from our patients.Thirty-three patients with WAP, eleven patients with AEP, and thirty patients with HP were reviewed. Regarding age, sex, smoking habit, and laboratory findings (white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 level), WAP and AEP were not significantly different, while WAP AP were rapid disease progression and macrophage dominance in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and these characteristics can be used to distinguish among WAP, AEP, and HP.
  The nurse-led program is associated with a short-term improvement of mental health status (MHS) and quality of life (QOL) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Nonetheless, the long-term effect of this program is undetermined. The aims of the current study were to evaluate the 1-year effects of the nurse-led program on MHS, QOL, and heart failure (HF) rehospitalization among patients with CHF.CHF patients in the control group received standard care, and patients in the treatment group received standard care plus telehealth intervention including inquiring patients' medical condition, providing feedbacks, counseling and providing positive and emotional talk with the patients. At the third, sixth, and twelfth month's follow-up, patients were called by registered nurses to assess the Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Erlotinib-Hydrochloride.html  HF rehospitalization was also assessed.A total of 300 patients were included and 46% (n = 138) of the patients were in the treato significant between-group differences in the MHI-5 and KCCQ scores at baseline. In the control group, the MHI-5 score was gradually decreased with follow-up and the score was significantly lower than that in the treatment group since the third month's follow-up (63.5 ± 10.6 vs 73.6 ± 10.3). Compared with the treatment group, KCCQ score was lower in the control group from the third month's follow-up (64.3 ± 10.6 vs 73.5 ± 12.3) until the end of the twelfth months' follow-up (45.3 ± 11.2 vs 60.8 ± 11.1). During 12 months' follow-up, the proportion of patients who experienced HF rehospitalization was lower in the treatment group (19.6% vs 24.1%). After adjusting for covariates, the utilization of the nurse-led program, and increase of MHI-5 and KCCQ scores were associated with reduced risk of HF rehospitalization.The nurse-led program is beneficial for the improvement of MHS and QOL for CHF patients, which might contribute to the reduction of HF rehospitalization.
  Nevus sebaceous (NS) is a lesion caused by congenital hyperplastic disorder of the sebaceous glands. It commonly noted in the scalp and face and rarely in the trunk, neck, or oral mucosa. We present a rare case of a lesion arising in the genital region.
 
  A 47-year-old woman complained of a gradual increase in the size of her bilateral labia minora over 2 years, which affected her sexual life and caused walking difficulty. She was admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. On physical examination, no ulcer, discharge, and vulval or vaginal bleeding were found. The bilateral inguinal lymph nodes were not palpable, bilateral labia minora were asymmetric, and the right side was evidently bigger than the left. The labia minora had serrated edges and numerous papillae with a maximum diameter of 0.5 cm. The vagina, cervix, and uterus with its attachments were normal. Blood samples tested negative for human immunodeficiency virus, human papilloma virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus.
 
  A diagnosis of NS of the bilateral labia minora was made following histopathological examination of the resected specimen.
