Background: Craniocerebral injuries carry high disability and mortality rates. In clinical practice, timely determination of the condition and immediate rescue interventions are crucial for patients with emergency craniocerebral injuries. Nurses play a pivotal role in providing proactive nursing services to save patients' lives.
Objective: This study aims to examine the practical implications of implementing operating room nursing pathways in the care of patients undergoing emergency craniocerebral injury surgery.
Design: A randomized controlled study was conducted.
Setting: The study was conducted at the Department of Operating Room at Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated with Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
Participants: A total of 80 patients undergoing emergency craniocerebral injury surgery in our hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were included. They were randomly divided into control and observation groups through a lottery, with 40 cases in each.
Interventions: The control group received conventional nursing, while the observation group received operating room nursing pathways.
Primary Outcome Measures: (1) Surgical preparation time, surgical time, and hospitalization time; (2) Pupil scores; (3) Brain injury grading; and (4) Nursing satisfaction score.
Results: The observation group exhibited a significant decrease in surgical preparation time and hospitalization time compared to the control group (P < .05). After the intervention, severe craniocerebral injury pupil scores in the observation group showed improvement compared to the control group (P < .05). The total satisfaction rate in the observation group (92.5%) was higher than that in the control group (80.0%) (P = .012).
Conclusions: The application of operating room nursing pathways in patients undergoing emergency craniocerebral injury surgery can lead to a shortened length of stay, substantial improvement in patients' consciousness status, and high satisfaction rates from both patients and their family members. This intervention holds significant clinical value and merits further promotion.

Background: Spring-mediated cranioplasty (SMC) is a safe and effective treatment for craniosynostosis. The authors describe the largest cohort of endoscopic SMC for coronal craniosynostosis to date, highlighting the evolution of their technique.
Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent endoscopic coronal suturectomy and SMC between 2017 and 2023.

The PROtective VEntilation (PROVE) Network is a globally-recognized collaborative research group dedicated to advancing research, education, and collaboration in the field of mechanical ventilation. Established to address critical questions in intraoperative and intensive care ventilation, the network focuses on improving outcomes for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in diverse settings, including operating rooms, intensive care units, burn units, and resource-limited environments in low- and middle-income countries. The PROVE Network is committed to generating high-quality evidence through a comprehensive portfolio of investigations, including randomized clinical trials, observational research, and meta-analyses.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. The 5-methylcytosine (mC) modification refers to the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon atom of cytosine in RNA molecules. This study aimed to investigate the role of NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN)6 in GC and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Background: Extended delays in non-elective surgeries have been associated with suboptimal outcomes. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic forced healthcare systems to adapt their setups for unscheduled procedures, leading, in our institution, to a reorganization from a setup with two dedicated operating rooms (ORs) at a central facility without dedicated teams to a temporary one with both dedicated teams and ORs during lockdown phase. This study evaluates the impact of this transitions on the time to surgery considering unscheduled procedures.
