The advancement of and prospects for stem cell research raise a number of specific ethical issues. While navigating the ethical landscape of stem cell research is often challenging for biology researchers and biotechnology innovators, it is also difficult for the public and other persons of concern (from ethicists to policy-makers) to grasp the technicalities of a burgeoning field that develops in many directions. Organoids are one of these new biotechnological constructs that are currently eliciting a rich debate in bioethics.

Data from adult critically ill patients admitted with CAP or COVID-19 and the need for ventilatory support were retrospectively analysed. HFNC failure was defined as the need for invasive ventilation or death before intubation.

We aim to i) assess the 1-year mortality rate following pancreatectomy for PDAC, and ii) identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with 1-year mortality.
Methods: Data was extracted retrospectively from the French national medico-administrative database.
Background: Acute right colic diverticulitis (ARD) is less frequent in Western countries than acute sigmoid diverticulitis (ASD). We aimed to compare the management of ARD and ASD operated on in emergency.
Methods: All consecutive patients who had emergency surgery for ASD and ARD (2010-2021) were included in a retrospective, multicenter, cohort study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how socioeconomic deprivation affects postoperative outcomes in patients who have undergone surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD).
- Conducted across 41 French hospitals from 2010 to 2021, researchers found that 20% of the 6,415 patients experienced severe complications within 90 days post-surgery.
- Results indicated that higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation are linked to an increased risk of severe complications, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and surgery type.
