Article Abstract
Purpose: To explore the relationship between image-defined risk factors and surgical complications of localized neuroblastoma.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 84 patients who met the inclusion criteria at our hospitals between June 2014 and June 2019. Patients' clinic data were collected and the common terminology criteria for adverse events were used to categorize complications as major (grade 3-4) or minor (grade 1-2).
Results: Four (11.8%) out of 34 stage L1 patients and 15 (30.0%) out of 50 stage L2 patients had surgical complications (P < 0.05). Seventy patents underwent primary surgery, including all stage L1 patients and 36 stage L2 patients. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding surgical complications or major surgical complications. Among stage L2 patients, 2 (5.6%) out of 36 who underwent primary surgery and 2 (14.3%) out of 14 who underwent secondary surgery had major surgical complications (P < 0.05). Complete tumor resection was achieved in 18 (50%) and 7 (50%) patients in each group (P > 0.05). The mean numbers of IDRFs were 2.06 and 4.29, respectively (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Localized neuroblastoma patients with IDRFs have a greater surgical risk. And the number of IDRFs is not ignorable, especially in predicting major surgical complications.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Cardiovascular disorders remain a leading cause of death worldwide, and the use of contemporary stents is paving the way for a profound shift in the field of cardiology. In the surgical process postimplantation, the graft or stent and host-immune interaction play a significant role in the healing process, thus it is a major challenge in healthcare. To address these challenges, recent advancements have introduced bioactive coatings with specialized modifications in stents to enhance their interaction with surrounding environment.

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can lead to significant enlargement of the right atrium (RA) and poses unique clinical challenges. We report this case of a 17-year-old boy previously misdiagnosed with Ebstein anomaly who presented with dyspnea and palpitations. Initial examination revealed irregular heart rhythm, distended neck veins, and a significant murmur.

Tattoos and permanent make-up (PMU) gain increasing popularity among the general population. There are indications that pigments or their fragments may translocate within the body, however knowledge about possible systemic adverse effects related to tattoos is very limited. We investigated the prevalence of systemic chronic health effects including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and liver toxicity and their relationship with the presence and characteristics of tattoos and PMU as part of the LIFE-Adult-study, a population-based cohort study.
