Clinical application of the modified neck-shoulder technique based on membrane autopsy to laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal prosthesis for indirect inguinal hernia.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical basis and clinical application value of the modified neck-shoulder technique based on membrane autopsy in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal prosthesis (TEP) for tension-free repairs of indirect inguinal hernia.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the clinical data of 136 patients with indirect inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP for tension-free repairs at the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery Unit 1, the First Hospital of Putian City, Fujian Province from June 2017 to June 2020. The patients were divided into the modified neck-shoulder technique group (68 cases) and the traditional surgery group (68 cases), according to the different surgical methods.

Age of Pediatric Patients Affects Delayed Chemotherapy-Induced Vomiting.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for delayed chemotherapy-induced vomiting (DCIV) in pediatric oncology patients. We collected data on pediatric patients from a tertiary care pediatric hospital in an Asian urban center. We analyzed the risk factors for DCIV in patients by univariate analysis and logistic regression.

Swallowing function after acute ischemic stroke: Development and validation of a novel clinical prognostic model.

Background: Predicting the duration of dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is important for clinical treatment decisions.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the swallowing function of AIS patients and to develop and validate a prognostic model for the need for nasogastric tube (NGT) in these patients.

Materials And Methods: We included 554 AIS patients during 2018-2019 as the development group and had 186 AIS patients as the external validation group.

Outcomes of One-Stage Surgical Repair for Berry Syndrome in Neonates.

Background: Berry syndrome is a challenging disease for surgeons to make early diagnosis and successful surgical correction in the neonatal period. Here, we summarized the clinical features of three neonates with berry syndrome in our center to optimize the therapeutic effect in the future.

Methods: From January 2014 to December 2019, three neonates with berry syndrome underwent one-stage surgical repair in our center.

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor mimicking type II neurofibromatosis: A case report.

Rationale: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) often present heterogeneous signals of various cells without remarkable features of the disease. We describe a unique case of atypical brain MRI images presenting as an type II neurofibromatosis and explore some diagnostic hints.

Patient Concerns: A 1-year-and-7-month-old boy admitted to our department with a 7-day history of drowsiness and 2-day history of emesis, and his presenting complaint was repeated vomit.
