Background/aim: Postoperative adverse events are associated with poor clinical outcomes and survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with curative operation. However, comprehensive evaluation of the clinical characteristics associated with postoperative adverse events and survival outcomes is lacking.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study that evaluated patients with NSCLC who underwent curative surgery between 2008 and 2019 was conducted in a medical center. The baseline characteristics, five-item modified frailty index, sarcopenia, inflammatory biomarkers, surgical approach, postoperative adverse events, and survival were statistically analyzed.
Results: Patients with a history of smoking and preoperative sarcopenia were at a higher risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications. Smoking, frailty, and traditional open thoracotomy (OT) were associated with infections, and sarcopenia was identified as a risk factor for major complications. Advanced tumor stage, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, OT, major complications, and infections were identified as risk factors for overall and disease-free survival.
Conclusion: Pre-treatment sarcopenia was found to be a predictor of major complications. Infections and major complications were associated with survival outcomes in patients with NSCLC.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of Paediatric Risk of Mortality-III, Paediatric Index of Mortality-II, and Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scoring systems for major adverse events following congenital heart surgery.
Methods: This prospective observational study included patients under 18 years of age who were admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours postoperatively following congenital heart surgery. Major adverse events were defined as a composite of 30-day mortality, ICU readmission, reintubation, acute neurologic events, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation, need for a permanent pacemaker, acute kidney injury, or unplanned reoperation.

Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) remains poorly understood in terms of predictors and underlying mechanisms. This review summarized emerging evidence on the association between brain microstructural alterations and POD.
Method: This is a narrative review, describing the microstructural changes in aging brain, microstructural MRI findings, relationship among microstructural alterations, cognitive reserve and POD, and potential interventions targeting microstructure.

Introduction: Liver transplantation is associated with various metabolic disorders. Peri-transplant hyperglycemia is among the most frequent metabolic disorders among liver transplant recipients. Hyperglycemia following liver transplantation can increase the risk of post-transplant complications, potentially impacting both graft and recipient outcomes.

Introduction: High intrarenal pressures (IRP) during mini-PCNL have been postulated to result in increased postoperative pain but no studies have evaluated this to our knowledge. We sought to determine if there is a correlation between IRP and immediate postoperative pain when using different tract sizes.
Methods: Patients were enrolled and assigned for standard (s-PCNL, 24fr), suctioning-mini (sm-PCNL, 16fr) and non-suctioning-mini (nsm-PCNL, 17.
