Background And Purpose: It remains unclear whether the lymph-node ratio (LNR) is a relevant factor for the risk of recurrence following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF), which is a new standard of care for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of LNR as a risk factor for recurrence.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients who underwent nCT-DCF followed by curative surgery for resectable ESCC.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the clinical outcomes of using the right gastroepiploic artery in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
- A total of 428 patients were analyzed, with the right gastroepiploic artery used in 18.2% of cases, leading to a high rate of successful revascularization (93.6% total, 98.7% complete).
- Postoperative results revealed no in-hospital deaths, a low incidence of new atrial fibrillation (9%), and a manageable median ICU stay of 2 days, indicating favorable outcomes with this surgical approach.
Introduction: Short cementless stems offer advantages such as bone-stock preservation and minimally invasive insertion. Despite encouraging short- to midterm outcomes, the long-term clinical and radiological implications of short, titanium, and porous plasma-sprayed flat-tapered stems remain unclear.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 138 primary total hip arthroplasties, conducted between 2010 and 2015 in 130 patients, with a minimum 8-year follow-up was performed.
