Acute hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome associated with capivasertib, a new, oral targeted therapy for advanced breast cancer.

Capivasertib is a new targeted therapy for the treatment of select cases of hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. Hyperglycemia is a known adverse effect of capivasertib with a 16 % incidence rate, however life-threatening hyperglycemia occurs rarely (incidence 0.3 %).

Robotic-assisted Navigation Bronchoscopy: A Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Yield and Complications.

Background: Robotic-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB) is a novel method to biopsy lung nodules, with initial reports demonstrating excellent accuracy. We aimed to evaluate pooled estimates of diagnostic yields and complication rates with RANB by performing a meta-analysis of the available literature.

Methods: We searched 3 databases, including PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science.

Safety, efficiency and learning curves in robotic surgery: a human factors analysis.

Background: Expense, efficiency of use, learning curves, workflow integration and an increased prevalence of serious incidents can all be barriers to adoption. We explored an observational approach and initial diagnostics to enhance total system performance in robotic surgery.

Methods: Eighty-nine robotic surgical cases were observed in multiple operating rooms using two different surgical robots (the S and Si), across several specialties (Urology, Gynecology, and Cardiac Surgery).
