Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence of distal limb ischemia caused by femoral artery cannulation during Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), with findings showing varying rates of ischemia based on different criteria.
- The research was a prospective cohort study involving 280 patients, revealing that younger age is a significant predictor of ischemia, while long-term complications were minimal and unrelated to intraoperative ischemia.
- The authors suggest that intraoperative monitoring using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) offers limited value, prompting a recommendation for future research to focus on other outcomes like acute kidney injury.
Introduction: To predict the outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the currently used prognostic system (TNM) is not accurate enough. The prognostic significance of the SUV measured by PET remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value in overall survival and progression free survival of SUV, the total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and the mean metabolic active volume (MATV) in NSCLC.
