Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (s-AML) is associated with inferior outcomes with conventional chemotherapy, and fludarabine combinations (FLAG-Ida) have been tested to improve results. More recently, CPX-351 resulted superior to conventional 3 + 7 in s-AML patients. In the UK NCRI AML19 trial, AML patients were randomized to receive either FLAG-Ida or CPX-351.

Purpose: Anastomotic leak (AL) remains the most important complication after left-sided colic anastomoses and technical complications during anastomotic construction are responsible of higher leakage incidence. Powered circular stapler (PCS) in colorectal surgery has been introduced in order to reduce technical errors and post-operative complications due to the manual circular stapler (MCS).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed.

Article Synopsis
  • Several studies suggest that lycopene and tomato products may enhance metabolic health, particularly in environments that promote obesity.
  • The research involved 80 male mice fed different diets supplemented with tomato powders from various genotypes, exploring their effects on obesity-related health issues.
  • Results showed that certain tomato genotypes improved fasting blood sugar and reduced liver fat, with one genotype (IL6-2) notably decreasing body weight and improving glucose levels, while irrigation levels had little effect on these health benefits.
