Lymph node harvest as a predictor of survival for colon cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: The number of lymph nodes found harboring metastasis can be impacted by the extent of harvest. Guidelines recommend 12 lymph nodes for adequate lymphadenectomy to predict long-term oncologic outcomes, yet different cut-offs remain unevaluated. The aim of this review was to determine cut-offs that may predict survival outcomes.

A novel approach of using transtibial transport (TTT) to manage thromboembolic events following surgical management of necrotizing soft tissue infection: a case report.

Necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are one of the most challenging and severe forms of infections. The prognosis requires accurate and aggressive diagnosis and management. In this case, we present an unexplained case of concurrence of TE events following BKA for the surgical management of NSTI.

Types and cost of wellness services provided by a neighborhood-based academic nursing center.
