Impact of bulky loco-regional lymphadenopathy in esophageal adenocarcinoma on survival: a retrospective single center analysis.

The relationship between 'bulky' locoregional lymphadenopathy and survival has not been investigated in the setting of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). This study aimed to explore whether bulky regional lymphadenopathy at diagnosis affected survival outcomes in patients with EAC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and en bloc resection. A single-center retrospective review of a prospectively maintained upper GI cancer surgical database was performed between January 2012 and December 2019.

COVID-19 Induced New-onset Psychosis: A Case Report from Oman.

Neurobehavioral impairment associated with COVID-19 infection has been recently documented in the literature.

We report a case of a 46-year-old male with no significant medical, family, and psychiatric history admitted to the hospital with COVID-19-related psychosis.

The Effect of Preoperative Anemia and Perioperative Transfusion on Surgical Outcomes After Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer.

Background: The aim of this study is to examine the interaction between preoperative anemia and perioperative transfusions with postoperative morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer.

Materials And Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried from 2005 to 2016. Restricted cubic splines modeled the nonlinear relationship between preoperative hematocrit (Hct) and 30-day overall morbidity, sepsis, and mortality.

Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum with a foreign body mimicking acute appendicitis: A rare complication.

Meckel's diverticulum mimicking acute appendicitis is a very rare condition encountered in practice. MD is asymptomatic in most of cases and only about 4 to16% of cases develop complications. Perforation of MD by a foreign body is even rarer being only reported in few cases in the literature.
