Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) still constitutes a significant healthcare burden. Although its overall incidence is reducing, the incidence of early-onset CRC is increasing. There is uncertainty about the association between CRC and mutations and also, even though most cancers metastasize to the liver, acute liver failure (ALF) from metastatic cancer and specifically CRC is uncommon. This is a case of a young patient with mutation who presented with a large obstructing CRC with extensive metastatic burden to the liver, causing a fatal ALF. This case shows the growing number of ALFs associated with metastatic disease and suggests a possible association between mutation and CRC. This association needs more research to establish.

Bariatric Surgery and Incident Development of Obesity-Related Comorbidities.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
The complex and hazardous course for heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Calif.
Objective: Patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease often require multiple operations, which may have a cumulative effect on their outcomes. This study aimed to define the cardiac surgical course in a large cohort and identify longitudinal risk factors for death/transplant.
Methods: All patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at one institution from 2005 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.
Alar Battens Grafts Versus Lateral Crural Strut Grafts: A Systematic Review of Postoperative Outcomes.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
September 2025
Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Objective: To systematically compare functional outcomes and postoperative cosmetic satisfaction following alar batten graft (ABG) versus lateral crural strut graft (LCSG) placement for patients with nasal valve incompetence.
Data Sources: Pubmed and Embase searches (1995-2025) with terms for nasal obstruction, LCSG, ABG, and functional/cosmetic outcomes.
Review Methods: Relevant studies with documented preoperative nasal valve incompetence, confirmed surgical intervention with either ABG or LCSG, and their associated postoperative outcomes were identified.
"Reconstruction of Large Full-Thickness Medial Lower Eyelid Defects Using a Medially-Based Tarsoconjunctival Pedicle Flap".
Plast Reconstr Surg
September 2025
Division of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology, UC San Diego Shiley Eye Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Reconstruction of large full-thickness medial lower eyelid margin defects often requires centrally-based tarsoconjunctival pedicle flaps from the ipsilateral upper eyelid in combination with anterior lamellar grafting. However, centrally-based flaps may result in temporary obstruction of the visual axis in the affected eye. We present a novel modified surgical technique utilizing a medially-based tarsoconjunctival pedicle flap from the upper eyelid for the reconstruction of large full-thickness medial lower eyelid defects.

Airway obstruction is a distressing and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with advanced head and neck cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pharynx. This case highlights the clinical, ethical, and interdisciplinary complexities involved in managing airway compromise in the context of progressive disease and limited treatment options. A 75-year-old man with recurrent SCC of the soft palate, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx, recently initiated on pembrolizumab and radiation therapy, presented with dysphagia, stridor, and intermittent tumor bleeding.
