Background & Aims: The relation between various types of plant-based diets and cancer risk is still unclear. We examined the association of the overall plant-based diet index (PDI) and healthy (hPDI) and unhealthy plant-based diet indices (uPDI) with the risk of selected digestive cancers.
Methods: We used data from a network of hospital-based case-control studies including 942 oral/pharyngeal, 304 esophageal, 230 stomach, 1953 colorectal, and 326 pancreatic cancer cases.
Background: With the shift towards personalized medicine, understanding the impact of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is essential for evaluating its effectiveness and patient satisfaction. The QUAROB (Quality-assessment-of-ROBotic-orthopedic-surgery) study aims at assessing the impact of robotic surgery on quality of care and joint functionality at 6 months post-surgery among patients undergoing robotic-assisted TKA.
Methods: This observational, prospective cohort study included patients from Ravenna Hospital, Italy, who underwent elective robotic TKA (2022-2023), and a historical cohort who underwent traditional TKA (2019).
Article Synopsis
- * A thorough literature review led to the selection of 287 studies, which informed the development of 39 key statements addressing surgical indications, timing, and techniques for SSRF.
- * The consensus document serves to clarify best practices in managing rib fractures, helping clinicians make informed decisions about the surgical treatment process.
Article Synopsis
- - IAIs (intra-abdominal infections) are a leading cause of serious illness and death, especially in sepsis cases, with high hospital mortality rates (23-38%); timely identification and treatment are essential for better outcomes.
- - Effective management involves source control, which includes various procedures such as surgery, drainage, and debridement to remove the infection source and restore function, alongside early clinical evaluation and the use of prognostic scores to assess severity.
- - Rising antibiotic resistance poses a major global health challenge, highlighting the importance of appropriate antibiotic use, infection control measures, and adherence to guidelines in surgical departments to improve patient outcomes.
Needs of breast cancer survivors: a systematic review of quantitative data.
Crit Rev Oncol Hematol
September 2024
This systematic review aimed to update the perceived needs of individuals with breast cancer (BC). Databases were searched for studies reporting quantitative data collected through validated assessment tools. Needs of adults with BC were reported by survivorship phase.
