The continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO) and respiratory rates (RRs) are major clinical issues in many cardio-respiratory diseases and have been of tremendous importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The early detection of hypoxemia was crucial since it precedes significant complications, and SpO follow-up allowed early hospital discharge in patients needing oxygen therapy. Nevertheless, fingertip devices showed some practical limitations.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of FN resection in patients with parotid cancer abutting the FN, without pretreatment facial palsy, using a propensity score matching.
Materials And Methods: Data from all patients treated between 2009 and 2020 for a primary parotid cancer abutting or invading the FN but without pretreatment facial palsy were extracted from the national multicentric REFCOR database.
Background: Evidence suggests that ctDNA may be a reliable biomarker to monitor metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) evolution. Nevertheless, evidence on the potential of liquid biopsy in this setting is still low quality, mostly consisting of retrospective studies.
Methods: COPERNIC is an international, multicenter clinical trial.
Article Synopsis
- Duodenal neuroendocrine tumours (D-NETs) are rare but increasingly diagnosed, with treatment options including endoscopic or surgical resection based on tumor characteristics.
- A multicenter study in France analyzed the management and outcomes of 153 patients with non-metastatic D-NETs from 2000 to 2019, finding no significant differences in recurrence-free survival between those treated with endoscopic resection (ER) and surgical resection (SR).
- The study concluded that both treatment types led to similar patient outcomes, with surgery providing higher rates of complete resection but also more surgical complications.
Objectives: To assess the ability of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and hand-grip dynamometer to measure damage in inflammatory myopathies (IM).
Methods: Forty adult IM patients with a disease duration ≥12 months, low or no disease activity for ≥6 months, were prospectively enrolled. Thirty healthy age and sex-matched volunteers were enrolled as controls.
