Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and feasibility of robotic total pancreatectomy (RTP) compared to open total pancreatectomy (OTP) for pancreatic cancer, highlighting a shift towards more robotic surgeries over time.
- Analyzed data from 188 RTP and 3,447 OTP patients from 2010 to 2019 found no significant differences in outcomes such as mortality rates and oncological effectiveness, but RTP patients experienced a shorter hospital stay.
- Overall survival rates were similar for both methods, suggesting that RTP is a viable option for pancreatic cancer surgery without compromising patient outcomes.
Total pancreatectomy is a complex procedure used in the management of pancreatic cancer. While minimally invasive techniques have been increasingly adopted, limited data exist comparing robotic total pancreatectomy (RTP) and laparoscopic total pancreatectomy (LTP). This study evaluates the utilization, short- and long-term outcomes of RTP and LTP using the National Cancer Database.

Chest masculinization is the most common surgery performed in transgender men, and although incidence of occult cancer is lower than in cis-gender women receiving mastectomy or reduction mammoplasties, the incidence of high-risk lesions is comparable. In patients with concerns for occult malignancy, Magtrace is a nonradioactive tracer available to assist management for its delayed sentinel lymph node mapping capabilities. We present the first case report using Magtrace before masculinizing mastectomies in a transgender man.

Article Synopsis
- - The T2K experiment reports enhanced measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters through new proton-on-target (POT) neutrino data, significantly improving analysis methods with a major focus on the near detector's new selection procedures.
- - This analysis is the first to utilize data from the NA61/SHINE experiment, helping to refine the neutrino flux model and enhance the neutrino interaction model by incorporating new nuclear effects.
- - Both frequentist and Bayesian approaches indicate a preference for normal mass ordering and a nearly maximal CP-violating phase, with notable exclusions and constraints on certain parameters aligning with past T2K studies.
