Background: Preoperative physical frailty is a significant predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of frailty and contributes to postoperative complications. This study investigated the effects of preoperative beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), arginine, and glutamine supplementation on inflammatory markers, nutritional status, and renal function in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Hematometra is an uncommon and delayed complication following the surgical management of miscarriage. When it occurs in the early postoperative period, it is sometimes referred to as "Redo syndrome".

Background: With an annual incidence of up to 30%, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) may be one of the most underestimated yet common complications, hence reno-protective interventions are critical. We evaluated the impact of hemoadsorption (HA) on clinical outcomes in KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) G2/A2 patients (GFR 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m and 30-300 mg/g albuminuria) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Background: Gastric cancer often is diagnosed at an advanced stage and is associated with severe malnutrition. Existing data suggest systemic inflammation and malnutrition impact prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between malnutrition and inflammation as well as whether preoperative assessments of laboratory tests or inflammation-based biomarkers can serve as prognostic factors for cancer staging.

Background: The advent of navigation, followed by robotics in knee prosthetic surgery aims, among other things, to enhance the alignment of components and to improve the control of stress forces (i.e., weight, gravity, and static and dynamic stabilizers) on the bearing surface throughout the range of motion; however, the benefits of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are debated.
