Neurological Manifestations of Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Pediatric Patients: A 3-Year Study on Differences between Pandemic Waves.

This study analyzed the neurological manifestation profiles of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection across pandemic waves in pediatric patients. The study collected data on patients aged between 0 and 18 years, diagnosed with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, admitted to a pediatric tertiary hospital between 1 March 2020 and 28 February 2023. This study included 1677 patients.

The Immune Response of Cutaneous Basosquamous- and Squamous-Cell Carcinoma Associated with Sun Exposure.

In recent years, there has been an observed increase in the frequency of cutaneous carcinoma, which correlates with sun exposure. This study aims to explore the variances of tumor characteristics and immune response markers among patients diagnosed with cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) and basosquamous-cell carcinoma (BSC) with varying levels of sun exposure. The objective is to elucidate the potential influence of sun exposure on tumor progression and immune response in these types of carcinomas.

Correlations between Demographic, Clinical, and Paraclinical Variables and Outcomes in Patients with KRAS-Mutant or KRAS Wild-Type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer-A Retrospective Study from a Tertiary-Level Center in Romania.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global public health concern and its characteristics in Eastern Europe are underexplored. In this retrospective study, data of 225 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) from the Colțea Clinical Hospital's Oncology Department in Bucharest were analyzed between 2015 and 2023. They were divided into two groups based on the presence of KRAS mutation.

Robotic-Assisted Pelvic Surgery: Early Outcomes in a Single Institution.

This article reports the authors' experience with their first 50 consecutive robotic pelvic procedures, aiming to determine the feasibility and safety of adopting robotic pelvic surgery. Robotic surgery offers several benefits for minimally invasive surgery, but its applicability is hindered by cost and limited regional experience. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robotic pelvic surgery.
