Textbook outcome after esophagectomy: A retrospective study from a high-volume center.

Background: Textbook outcome is a composite quality measurement in esophageal cancer surgery. This study aimed to estimate the rate of textbook outcome esophagectomies at a high-volume center and investigate associations between textbook outcome and overall and recurrence-free survival.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark, analyzing esophagectomies performed from November 1, 2016, to December 31, 2021.

Introduction The woven Christmas heart is a cherished tradition and an iconic symbol of Danish Christmas. The common approach is to weave Christmas hearts by hand, however, as surgery is moving towards a minimally invasive approach, we wished to assess whether Christmas hearts could be weaved in a minimally invasive approach. Methods A single-blinded randomized crossover trial.

Major open abdominal surgery is associated with increased levels of endothelial damage and interleukin-6.

Objective: To examine changes in biomarkers of endothelial glycocalyx shedding, endothelial damage, and surgical stress following major open abdominal surgery and the correlation to postoperative morbidity.

Introduction: Major abdominal surgery is associated with high levels of postoperative morbidity. Two possible reasons are the surgical stress response and the impairment of the glycocalyx and endothelial cells.

Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging-based diagnosis of severe mesenteric traction syndrome: Hemodynamics and prostacyclin - A prospective cohort study.

Brief Abstract: Today, the diagnosis and grading of mesenteric traction syndrome relies on a subjective assessment of facial flushing. However, this method has several limitations. In this study, Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging and a predefined cut-off value are assessed and validated for the objective identification of severe mesenteric traction syndrome.

Mesenteric traction syndrome - Incidence, impact, and treatment: A systematic scoping review of the literature.

Background: Mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) is commonly seen during major abdominal surgery and is characterised by facial flushing, hypotension, and tachycardia 15 min into surgery. MTS also impacts the postoperative course, as severe MTS has been associated with increased postoperative morbidity. However, despite MTS being common and severe MTS causing increased postoperative morbidity, the gaps in the literature are not clearly defined.

A semaphorin-plexin-Rasal1 signaling pathway inhibits gastrin expression and protects against peptic ulcers.

Peptic ulcer disease is a frequent clinical problem with potentially serious complications such as bleeding or perforation. A decisive factor in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcers is gastric acid, the secretion of which is controlled by the hormone gastrin released from gastric G cells. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating gastrin plasma concentrations are poorly understood.

Evaluation of the systemic inflammatory response, endothelial cell dysfunction, and postoperative morbidity in patients, receiving perioperative corticosteroid, developing severe mesenteric traction syndrome - an exploratory study.

Objective: To determine whether a severe mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) leads to increased surgical stress, endothelial dysfunction, and postoperative morbidity in a cohort in which all patients received a single dose of methylprednisolone.

Introduction: Preoperatively administered corticosteroids lower the incidence of severe MTS and may also attenuate surgical stress and endothelial damage associated with the development of severe MTS, ultimately lowering the postoperative morbidity.

Methods: This exploratory study analyzed prospectively collected data from 45 patients all receiving 125 mg methylprednisolone.

Endoscopic treatment of primary aorto-enteric fistulas: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Primary aorto-enteric fistula (PAEF) is a rare condition, traditionally treated in the acute, bleeding phase with open surgery or endovascular repair. However, these approaches have high morbidity and mortality, indicating a need for new methods. With advances in endoscopic techniques and equipment, haemoclipping of fistulas has now become feasible.

Severe mesenteric traction syndrome is associated with increased systemic inflammatory response, endothelial dysfunction, and major postoperative morbidity.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to determine if mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) triggers increased systemic inflammation and endothelial cell dysfunction. Patients developing severe MTS had pronounced early IL6 elevations followed by endothelial cell damage. Furthermore, these processes were associated with increased postoperative morbidity.

Development of a severe mesenteric traction syndrome during major abdominal surgery is associated with increased postoperative morbidity: Secondary data analysis on prospective cohorts.

Purpose: MTS is elicited during open abdominal surgery and is characterized by facial flushing, hypotension, and tachycardia in response to the release of prostacyclin (PGI) to plasma. MTS seems to affect postoperative morbidity, but data from larger cohorts are lacking. We aimed to determine the impact of severe mesenteric traction syndrome (MTS) on postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing open upper gastrointestinal surgery.

[Severe intra-abdominal injuries following the LUCAS chest compression system being applied for cardiopulmonary resuscitation].

In this case report two patients, having severe intra-abdominal injuries after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the LUCAS system, are presented. They both underwent surgical intervention. Severe intra-abdominal injuries following manual CPR are rare, but little is known about the incidence of these injuries associated with mechanical CPR.
