Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a major surgery associated with a high morbidity rate. Perioperative fluid management according to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aims to maintain patients in an optimal euvolemic state while exposing them to acute kidney injury (AKI) in the event of hypovolemia. Postoperative AKI is associated with severe morbidity and mortality.

We investigate the dynamic phase transition in two-dimensional Ising models whose equilibrium characteristics are influenced by either anisotropic interactions or quenched defects. The presence of anisotropy reduces the dynamical critical temperature, leading to the expected result that the critical temperature approaches zero in the full-anisotropy limit. We show that a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic behavior of systems with quenched defects requires a generalized definition of the dynamic order parameter.

Background: Biliary sepsis is common in patients with digestive cancer. Recommendations call for antibiotic de-escalation (ADE) as a strategy for antibiotic treatment of sepsis or septic shock. The aim of this study was to identify factors influencing 90-day mortality and to evaluate the impact of ADE.

Background:Postpancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening complication after PD. The main objective of this study was to evaluate incidence and factors associated with late PPH as well as the management strategy and outcomes. Methods: Between May 2017 and March 2020, clinical data from 192 patients undergoing PD were collected prospectively in the CHIRPAN Database (NCT02871336) and retrospectively analyzed.
