Robotic versus laparoscopic colorectal surgery for patients with obesity: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Obesity poses significant challenges in colorectal surgery, affecting operative difficulty and postoperative recovery. The choice of minimally invasive approach for this patient population remains a challenge during preoperative planning. This review aims to provide an updated synthesis of studies comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches for adult patients with obesity undergoing colorectal surgery.

Facile Labeling of Gram-Negative Bacteria with NIR-II Fluorescent Nanoprobes for Intestinal Bacteria Imaging.

The gut bacteria not only play a crucial role in maintaining human health but also exhibit close associations with the occurrence of numerous diseases. Understanding the physiological and pathological functions of gut bacteria and enabling early diagnosis of gut diseases heavily relies on accurate knowledge about their in vivo distribution. Consequently, there is a significant demand for noninvasive imaging techniques capable of providing real-time localization information regarding gut bacteria.

Differential response to immunotherapy in different lesions of MSI-H double primary colorectal cancer: a case report and literature review.

Background: Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare type of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with poor prognosis, particularly when it includes signet ring cell components. Furthermore, its rate of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is significantly higher compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma. Immunotherapy has emerged as the standard treatment for MSI-H metastatic CRC (mCRC).

Role of Carrot ( L.) Storage Roots in Drought Stress Adaptation: Hormonal Regulation and Metabolite Accumulation.

Drought stress has become one of the biggest concerns in threating the growth and yield of carrots ( L.). Recent studies have shed light on the physiological and molecular metabolisms in response to drought in the carrot plant; however, tissue-specific responses and regulations are still not fully understood.

Association between empirical antibiotic regimens in emergency department and prognosis of septic patients: A single-Centre real-world study.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore the association between the choice of empirical antibiotic therapy and outcomes in ED patients with sepsis.

Methods: Patients admitted to ED with sepsis were identified from a single center in the United States, and the data is stored in the MIMIC-IV-ED database. Propensity score matched model was used to match patients receiving empirical mono or combination antibiotic therapy.
