Impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol Compliance on Outcome After Pancreatic Surgery: Results From a Certified ERAS Center.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the sustainability of the pancreatic Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and the effect of ERAS items on patient morbidity and hospital stay.

Background: The current ERAS guideline recommendations encompass 27 items to improve recovery after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

Methods: Patients who underwent pancreatic resection at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf between February 2016 and June 2023 were included.

Potential determinants and predictors of hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy in pediatric patients.

Objective: Few studies have reported risk factors for post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism (HPT) in children. We aimed to identify predicting factors for transient and permanent HPT after total thyroidectomy in pediatric patients.

Study Design: Retrospective review of medical charts.

People who use drugs and the right to health.

Support for a human rights framework for drug policy has been growing for some years. This year, the UNODC published a chapter in the World Drug Report focussed on the right to health. In this paper, we draw attention to the conceptualisation of the right to health for people who use drugs.

Cell non-autonomous signaling through the conserved C. elegans glycoprotein hormone receptor FSHR-1 regulates cholinergic neurotransmission.

Modulation of neurotransmission is key for organismal responses to varying physiological contexts such as during infection, injury, or other stresses, as well as in learning and memory and for sensory adaptation. Roles for cell autonomous neuromodulatory mechanisms in these processes have been well described. The importance of cell non-autonomous pathways for inter-tissue signaling, such as gut-to-brain or glia-to-neuron, has emerged more recently, but the cellular mechanisms mediating such regulation remain comparatively unexplored.
