Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab, combined with the FLOT regimen, in the perioperative treatment of resectable HER-2-positive advanced gastric cancer.
Methods: Overall, 45 patients were divided into two groups; 29 patients in the experimental group were treated with trastuzumab combined with FLOT and 16 patients in the control group were treated with FLOT alone. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), tumor regression grade (TRG), surgical margin, side effects, and overall survival.
Results: In the experimental and control groups, ORR was 72.4% and 43.8% (=0.226), DCR was 89.7% and 87.5%, R0 resection rate was 96.5% and 93.7%, total/subtotal tumor regression grade was 17.2% and 6.3%, partial tumor regression grade was 27.6% and 18.7% (=0.468), and 2-year survival rate was 78.1% and 73.9% (=0.932), respectively. The common side effects were agranulocytosis and vomiting. There was no significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: Trastuzumab combined with FLOT has a good curative effect and safety profile in the perioperative treatment of patients with resectable HER-2-positive advanced gastric cancer. In addition, trastuzumab + FLOT had the same result as FLOT alone, as there was no significant benefit with the addition of T in the group studied.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are common complications following surgery, especially in elderly patients, and are characterized by memory loss, attention deficits, and impaired executive function. The pathogenesis of PNDs involves a complex interplay of neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter imbalance, epigenetic modifications, and gut-brain axis disruption. This review summarizes the latest findings on the mechanisms underlying PNDs, with a focus on microglial activation, interleukin imbalance, and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis.

Aim: Flow disruptions (FDs) are deviations in the progression of care that compromise safety and efficiency of a specific process. Neonatal intubation is a life-saving high-risk procedure required for delivery room (DR) management of neonates with moderate to severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study evaluated FDs during DR intubation of neonates with CDH and their association with process and outcome measures.

Introduction: The management of cerebral aneurysms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) faces significant barriers, including limited access to specialized neurosurgical care and equipment and dissipating human resources. Ghana's inaugural experience with cerebral aneurysm clipping, facilitated by the Global Brainsurgery Initiative (GBI), represent an attempt to address these challenges through international collaboration.
Methods: This case series details the outcomes of six patients who underwent cerebral aneurysm clipping procedures at two neurosurgical centers.
