Background: Postoperative complications and extended length of stays (LOS) following lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain significant healthcare and economic burdens, especially in developing countries with limited resources. This study evaluated the effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in addressing these issues.
Methods: This observational study compared two groups of patients, utilizing a prospective arm for ERAS and a retrospective arm for routine care.
Article Synopsis
- - Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive method used to treat severe neuropathic pain, but it's important to be aware of possible biologic complications during implantation.
- - Although biologic complications like infection and nerve injury happen less often than device-related issues, they can have more serious effects on patients.
- - Understanding these potential complications is essential for doctors to ensure patient safety and improve outcomes when using SCS for pain management.
Article Synopsis
- Post-recanalization target vessel re-occlusion (TVR) is a known complication after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), linked to poor long-term outcomes, but its causes and incidence right after the procedure are not well understood.
- A multicenter study examined 167 patients undergoing EVT for large vessel occlusion, measuring changes in the TICI score immediately after the procedure and 10 minutes later, revealing that 16.2% experienced a score change, with 70% of those worsening.
- The study suggests that neurointerventionalists should conduct angiographic assessments 10 minutes post-EVT to better manage the risk of TVR, considering that only 31% of the entire cohort achieved functional independence at
