Objective: The aim of this study is to provide solid evidence to update the management of stage I colon cancer (CC) after surgery.
Background: Given the low risk of recurrence of stage I CC, some international guidelines do not recommend intensive follow-up after surgery. However, data on the actual incidence, risk factors, and site of recurrences are scarce.
Article Synopsis
- Airway closure during mechanical ventilation can cause inaccuracies in respiratory pressure assessments, particularly in patients with severe ARDS, and can be identified using low-flow inflation techniques.
- The study observed a patient with ARDS on VV ECMO, noting that prone positioning improved airway closure, as indicated by a decrease in airway opening pressure from 23 cmHO in the supine position to 13 cmHO when prone.
- Post-prone positioning, airway closure remained lower at 17 cmHO compared to the supine baseline, suggesting that this therapeutic maneuver may be beneficial in managing respiratory mechanics in ARDS patients.
Objective: To present characteristics, surgical variables, complications, and postoperative care in pediatric patients with craniofacial synostosis undergoing Le Fort III osteotomy.
Background: Craniofacial synostoses are a group of genetic syndromes that result in premature fusion of cranial and facial sutures, leading to craniofacial deformities and associated complications. Midface advancement through Le Fort III osteotomy is the most frequent surgical option for these conditions.
Background: With a rise in mass casualty incidents, training in hemorrhage control using tourniquets has been championed as a basic-and lifesaving-procedure for bystanders and medical professionals alike. The current standard for training is in-person (IP) courses, which can be limited based on instructor availability. Virtual reality (VR) has demonstrated the potential to improve the accuracy of certain medical tasks but has not yet been developed for hemorrhage control.

Thus, anti-angiogenic drugs represent a milestone for metastatic CRC (mCRC) treatment and lead to significant improvement of clinical outcomes.
