Article Abstract

There is no standard treatment for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) is an emerging therapeutic strategy in LAGC. The prognosis of patients undergoing NICT plus radical surgery varies. Hypercoagulation is frequently identified in cancer patients. A retrospective study by Li confirmed that in LAGC patients undergoing radical resection post-NICT, elevated D-dimer and fibrinogen levels were associated with poor prognosis, and their combined assessment improved predictive accuracy. This retrospective study has some limitations, and further prospective research is required to validate hypercoagulation as a prognostic indicator and develop a more precise predictive model. Establishing such a model can facilitate personalized treatment strategies for patients with LAGC.

Background: In response to the opioid epidemic, many surgical specialties have adopted nonopioid pain management strategies. Ultrasound (US)-guided peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are effective in reducing pain and opioid consumption postsurgery. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB), shown effective in shoulder surgery, was approved in November 2023 for use in US-guided lower extremity blocks.

Purpose: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and Hamstring (HT) autografts are commonly used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Concerns exist regarding postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP) and kneeling discomfort with BPTB grafts. However, many studies solely report the presence/absence of anterior knee pain, without assessing its clinical significance in terms of functional limitation or impact on quality of life.

is a major cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Chinese patients, but clinical outcomes for those with biallelic mutations remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the clinical manifestations of CH due to defect. One hundred eighty-one patients with primary CH were recruited initially and were subjected to genetic screening.

Robotic-assisted proctectomy (RAP) has been reportedly associated with lower rates of conversion to laparotomy than laparoscopy in several cohort studies. This st0udy aimed to assess the temporal trends in conversion from RAP to laparotomy stratified by patient and treatment-related factors. This retrospective observational study was undertaken to analyse the temporal trends in unplanned conversion from RAP to laparotomy.

Background: Albumin and BMI have been used as nutritional markers of morbidity and mortality. Recently, prealbumin has grown in interest in other surgical disciplines, but less so in cardiac surgery. Thus, this study examined the association between prealbumin and bleeding, mortality, and readmission in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients.
