    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between pulmonary hypertension (PH) and post-embolization pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) recurrence.
    Materials and methods: With IRB approval the records of 377 patients with PAVMs evaluated at single HHT center of excellence between January 1, 2013, and September 10, 2023, were retrospectively reviewed. PAVMs embolized during this time-period were evaluated for recurrence. Patients and PAVMs not treated during this time-period were excluded. Growth of previously untreated PAVMs was not considered recurrence. Patients without chest CT follow-up were excluded. General demographics, HHT status as defined by genetic testing or Curacao criteria, presence of PH, history of smoking, anemia, and liver AVMs was documented. Odds ratio and stratified analysis was calculated to assay the correlation between PAVM recurrence, PH and possible confounders.
    Results: A total of 151 patients with PAVMs were treated during the study period, including 438 PAVMs, for which follow-up was available. This included 106 patients with definite, 31 doubtful, and 14 possible HHT. The presence of pulmonary hypertension was significantly associated with both PAVM recurrence by patient (OR: 8.13, 95% CI 3.50 - 19.67) and by lesion (OR: 4.07, 95% CI 2.14 - 7.91). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that this correlation was independent of several variables including HHT status, smoking history, presence of liver AVMs, and anemia.
    Conclusion: There is a high correlation between pulmonary hypertension and PAVM recurrence, likely due to high pulmonary artery pressures causing recanalization. Pulmonary hypertension may suggest the need for shorter surveillance intervals.

    Abstract In a recent paper, Charles Foster argued that the epistemic uncertainties surrounding prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC) make it impossible to prove that the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment can be in a patient's best interests and, therefore, the presumption in favour of the maintenance of life cannot be rebutted. In the present response, I argue that, from a legal perspective, Foster has reached the wrong conclusion because he is asking the wrong question. According to the reasoning in two leading cases

    Abstract Background: Primary pericardial mesothelioma (PPM) is an exceedingly rare malignant cancer and has a poor prognosis, which has been partly attributed to its frequently delayed diagnosis due to its nonspecific syndromes, its similar presentation to benign pericardial diseases, and its non-definitive etiology. In many PPM cases, the time from presentation to definite diagnosis may last for several months or even over one year. Unlike pleural mesothelioma, the relationship between PPM and asbestos exposure remains unsettled. To date, there is no consensus on the treatment of PPM.
    Case report: The patient is a 57-year-old male who had nonspecific syndromes and inconclusive image findings. The occupational long-term asbestos exposure history of this patient raised our concerns regarding potential malignancy when confronted with unexplained pericardial effusion accompanied by cardiac tamponade. The heightened suspicion prompted us to perform pericardiocentesis and biopsy on the third day after admission to our department. An early diagnosis of PPM was established by the pathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of the biopsy specimen two weeks after admission. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed that the lesion was localized at the anterior part of the mediastinum without distant metastasis. This patient refused to receive cardiac surgery. He subsequently underwent six cycles of chemotherapy (cisplatin plus pemetrexed) in combination with bevacizumab (a humanized anti-VEGF antibody) as the first-line treatment, resulting in complete relief of symptoms and satisfactory outcomes with no complications. Four months after the first course, the patient initiated a second course of chemotherapy with a similar regimen, but he opted to discontinue the medical treatment after the initiation of the second course. The patient was transferred to the hospice care unit and unfortunately expired one year after the initial presentation.
    Conclusion: We present a case of an early multidisciplinary clinical approach to diagnose and manage PPM with consideration of occupational asbestos exposure history and clinical symptoms. Bevacizumab-based chemotherapy remains an option for the treatment of PPM.

    Abstract Case: We present a case of traumatic anterior obturator hip dislocation in a pediatric patient with a focus on acute management of this injury. The orthopaedic team successfully performed closed reduction of this injury on an emergent basis, and the patient had minimal issues with ambulation and pain at subsequent follow-up.
    Conclusion: Pediatric traumatic hip dislocations are rare injuries with potentially devastating sequelae, particularly if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Proper technique during closed reduction is essential. Be prepared for potential emergent open reduction. Two years of postinjury follow-up is recommended to monitor for signs of femoral head osteonecrosis.

    Abstract Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious surgical condition with significant ocular morbidity if not managed properly. Once untreatable, approaches to the repair of RRD have greatly evolved over the years, leading to outstanding primary surgical success rates. The management of RRD is often a topic of great debate. Scleral buckling, vitrectomy and pneumatic retinopexy have been used successfully for the treatment of RRD. Several factors may affect surgical success and dictate a surgeon's preference for the technique employed. In this review, we provide an overview and supporting literature on the options for RRD repair and their respective preoperative and postoperative considerations in order to guide surgical management.

    Abstract Objectives: Rising costs of innovative drugs and therapeutics (D&Ts) have led to resource allocation challenges for healthcare institutions. There is limited evidence to guide priority-setting for institutional funding of high-cost D&Ts. This study sought to identify and elaborate on the substantive principles and procedures that should inform institutional funding decisions for high-cost off-formulary D&Ts through a case study of a quaternary care paediatric hospital.
    Methods: Semi-structured, qualitative interviews, both virtual and in-person, were conducted with institutional stakeholders (i.e. staff clinicians, senior leadership, and pharmacists) (n = 23) and two focus groups at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Participants involved in, and impacted by, high-cost off-formulary drug funding decisions were recruited through stratified, purposive sampling. Participants were approached for study involvement between July 27, 2020 and June 7, 2022. Data was analysed through reflexive thematic analysis.
    Results: Institutional resource allocation for high-cost D&Ts was identified as ethically challenging but critical to sustainable access to novel therapies. Important substantive principles included: 1) clinical evidence of safety and efficacy, 2) economic considerations (direct costs, opportunity costs, value for money), 3) ethical principles (social justice, professional/organizational responsibility), and 4) disease-specific considerations. Multidisciplinary deliberation was identified as an essential procedural component of decision-making. Participants identified tension between innovation and the need for evidence-based decision-making; clinician and institutional responsibilities; and value for money and social justice. Participants emphasized the role of health system-level funding allocation in alleviating the financial and moral burden of decision-making by institutions.
    Conclusions: This study identifies values and processes to aid in the development and implementation of institutional resource allocation frameworks for high-cost innovative D&Ts.
