This article highlights some advances in visceral surgery in 2024. In the hepato-pancreato-biliary field, liquid biopsies, immunotherapy, and robotics have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment, while artificial intelligence could enhance planning and operational safety. In endocrine surgery, a more conservative approach is recommended for well-differentiated thyroid cancers.

Minimally invasive pancreatic enucleation (MIPE) is increasingly performed. This study aims to assess the impact of tumor location and center experience on textbook outcomes (TBO) in patients undergoing MIPE.

This study assessed whether diabetes mellitus (DM) was a morbidity predictor after pancreatectomy within an ERAS program.
Methods: A cross-sectional study including all patients who underwent pancreatectomy (2012-2022) and followed an ERAS pathway was performed.
Introduction: The impact of overweight and obesity on pathological outcomes, complications, and oncologic outcomes following surgery for gastric adenocarcinoma has been poorly reported in Western populations. This study aimed to better understand the impact of overweight and obesity on both surgical and oncological outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer.
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from a multi-institutional European database.
The effect of acceptor and donor doping on the electronic properties of the half-Heusler TiNiSn.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the electronic transport properties of thermoelectric compounds like TiNiSn by doping with either donor or acceptor atoms to enhance electron or hole conduction.
- It aims to increase both carrier mobility and concentration, which are crucial for optimizing the compound's electronic characteristics.
- Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and analytical expressions, the research evaluates various dopants' effects on the electronic properties, assessing temperature dependencies for potential n-type or p-type applications in future experiments.
