Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a common bariatric procedure in China, and the long-term risk of postoperative anemia remains to be estimated. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of anemia at different times after LSG in Chinese population.
Objectives: To investigate the incidence of postoperative anemia and its risk factors in a cohort of Chinese patients with obesity undergoing LSG.
Setting: Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 619 patients who underwent LSG at a tertiary hospital between 2012 and 2022. The incidence of anemia at different postoperative stages was reported, and risk factors were explored using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: Among the 619 patients, 567, 436, and 189 participated in 0∼3, 3+∼12, and 12+∼60 months follow-up visits, respectively. The cumulative incidence of anemia for each period were 9.3%, 6.6%, and 9.1% for males, lower than those of 13.5%, 20.6%, and 39.2% for females. During the first 3 months of follow-up, preoperative iron deficiency was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative anemia (odds ratio [OR]: 3.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-12.16), and iron supplementation was associated with a lower risk of anemia among all patients (.46, .27-.77) and female patients (.49, .27-.87). In the period of 3+ - 12 months, females with advanced FIB-4 level (≥1.45, an index for liver fibrosis) had a higher incidence of anemia (5.72, 1.24-26.49). Among males, higher preoperative body mass index (BMI) was associated with a lower risk (.79, .64-.98), while weight loss was positively associated with anemia (1.26, 1.06-1.48).
Conclusion: Postoperative anemia was frequent in Chinese patients undergoing LSG and was associated with female gender, lower BMI, advanced preoperative FIB-4 level, and a lack of iron supplementation after surgery.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. While it is generally considered a low-risk procedure, one of the rare potentially life-threatening complications includes aortic dissection. We report the case of a 75-year-old immunocompromised female who presented 2 weeks post-TAVR with persistent and worsening dyspnea, intermittent chest pain, and hypoxia.

Background/aim: Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft-tissue tumor that typically occurs in young individuals and often mimics hematomas or sarcomas. Its diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific histological features, and identification of gene fusions such as EWSR1-CREB1 is crucial. We report a case definitively diagnosed using GenMineTOP, a dual DNA/RNA genomic profiling panel.

Importance: Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a well-known blood conservation technique, yet its adoption in the US remains low (<20%), and cardiac surgery remains the largest consumer of blood components. Increasing vulnerabilities in the US blood supply underscore the need to reassess ANH effectiveness in blood conservation.
Objective: To evaluate ANH use in perioperative transfusion and blood component use in patients undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Background: Preoperative anemia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and poor survival in colorectal cancer; however, its effects on long-term outcomes in sphincter-preserving rectal surgery remain unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the correlation among preoperative anemia, postoperative complications and surgical outcomes in sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgeries.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for stage I–III rectal cancer between 2011 and 2015 were reviewed.

Objective: Postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) are a significant concern after cardiac surgery, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and risk factors for PRCs in a tertiary center in Bosnia and Herzegovina and compare findings with data from developed countries.
Material And Methods: This prospective cohort study included 300 adult patients who underwent open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at the Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery, University Clinical Center Tuzla, between January 2020 and October 2023.
