Introduction And Importance: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) significantly increase perioperative morbidity and mortality. This case report discusses the challenges of managing a 75-year-old male patient with severe AS and advanced COPD undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.
Case Presentation: The patient presented with a 6.

Objective: To characterize trends and outcomes of aortic valve replacement in patients <65 with aortic stenosis between 2013 and 2021.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included 9,557 patients who underwent biological aortic valve replacement in California, New York, and New Jersey from 2013 through 2021. Patients were stratified by approach: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
Introduction: This consensus statement gives practical advice for the safe management of patients with harmful alcohol intake undergoing elective and emergency surgery. The wide spectrum of alcohol-related organ dysfunction observed in this cohort of patients may have a profound impact on care, and the additional effects of alcohol withdrawal may further exacerbate postoperative morbidity and mortality.
Methods: A working party was assembled based on clinical and/or academic expertise in the area.
Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical performance of 3D printed endocrowns (ECs) and prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZRCs) in restoring pulpotomized primary molars, over 3, 6, and 12 months.
Methods: Thirty pulpotomized mandibular primary molars in 16 children aged 4-8 years were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups: group (A), PZRCs, and group (B), 3D-printed ECs. All restorations were evaluated for esthetic, functional, and biological properties using FDI criteria at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals.
Article Synopsis
- National guidelines recommend segmental colectomy for appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms larger than 2.0 cm due to risks of lymph node involvement, with conditional overall survival becoming an important prognostic tool.
- A study of 3,541 patients revealed that 16% had positive lymph nodes, and factors like size, depth of invasion, and lymphovascular involvement were correlated with metastasis.
- The findings suggest that more clinicopathologic factors should influence decisions on surgical treatment and surveillance for better survival rates, especially for patients with more aggressive histologies.
