Factors influencing the length of stay (LOS) undergoing robot-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery in the setting of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for pediatric patients: a retrospective study.

Background: A prolonged length of stay (LOS) after surgery may result in higher hospital costs and hospital-acquired complications. This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with a prolonged hospital stay after robot-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery for pediatric patients in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery.

Methods: The data for this retrospective study were collected from pediatric patients undergoing robot-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery.

Risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia in infants during general anesthesia: A retrospective study.

This study aimed to determine the incidence and evaluate the risk factors and outcomes of intraoperative hypothermia (IH) during general anesthesia in infants. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. A total of 754 infants younger than 1 year old who underwent surgery under general anesthesia were included.

Risk factors and outcomes of intraoperative hypothermia in neonatal and infant patients undergoing general anesthesia and surgery.

Objective: The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia remains high in pediatric patients during anesthesia and surgery even though core body temperature monitoring and warming systems have been greatly improved in recent years. We analyzed the risk factors and outcomes of intraoperative hypothermia in neonates and infants undergoing general anesthesia and surgery.

Methods: The data on the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, other clinical characteristics, and outcomes from electronic records of 1,091 patients (501 neonates and 590 infants between 28 days and 1 year old), who received general anesthesia and surgery, were harvested and analyzed.

Spatiotemporal variation of climate of different flanks and elevations of the Qinling-Daba mountains in China during 1969-2018.

Climate change exhibits great variation on different flanks and at different elevations in the same mountain range. To investigate the complexity of the geographic patterns of climate and phenology in the Qinling-Daba mountains (QDM), in the North-South transition zone of China, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of daily air temperature and precipitation data measured at 118 national weather stations (1969-2018). The principal findings were as follows.

PKCα/ZFP64/CSF1 axis resets the tumor microenvironment and fuels anti-PD1 resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background & Aims: Despite remarkable advances in treatment, most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) respond poorly to anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD1) therapy. A deeper insight into the tolerance mechanism of HCC against this therapy is urgently needed.

Methods: We performed next-generation sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, and dual-color immunohistochemistry and constructed an orthotopic HCC xenograft tumor model to identify the key gene associated with anti-PD1 tolerance.

Gender contexts, dowry and women's health in India: a national multilevel longitudinal analysis.

Gender-biased contexts may impact women's lives across a variety of domains. This study examined whether changes in district prevalence of a salient gendered practice - dowry - are associated with changes in poor health for women in India. Two waves of national multilevel panel data were used to assess the relationship between changes in district-level dowry prevalence and changes in self-rated health for 23,785 ever-married women aged 15-50 years.
