Feasibility of ERAS in Patients With Gastric Cancer Complicated by Diabetes Mellitus.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is the integration of multiple perioperative evidence-based medical practices into a single pathway aimed at eliminating surgical liabilities and improving treatment accuracy to enhance patients' postoperative outcomes. The ERAS Society has been developing guidelines that are widely applicable in the surgical field. ERAS pathways in selective and noncomplicated cases are extensively practiced.

Recent SARS-CoV-2 Outlook and Implications in a COVID-19 Vaccination Era.

While repurposed drugs came in handy earlier in the wake of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, vaccination has been considered a more sustainable approach. The recent spikes have been linked to "double," "triple," and even multi-mutant variants, thus renewing calls for deeper structural and functional insights of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a lead to rationale design of therapeutics, vaccines, and point-of-care diagnostics. There is a repertoire of findings from the earliest SARS-CoV-2 molecular mimicry to evade host immunity cum host immune responses to the role of the viral glycocalyx in modulating the susceptibility and severity of infection through attraction and repulsive interactions.

Prognostic Value of Bleeding in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common clinical manifestation of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. It is of great significance to the prognosis of patients. But the results are controversial.

Effects of reconstruction techniques after proximal gastrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Additional studies comparing several reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy have been published; of note, it is necessary to update systematic reviews and meta-analysis from the current evidence-based literature.

Aim: To expand the current knowledge on feasibility and safety, and also to analyze postoperative outcomes of several reconstructive techniques after proximal gastrectomy.

Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Medline databases were searched for original studies, and relevant literature published between the years 1966 and 2019 concerning various reconstructive techniques on proximal gastrectomy were selected.

Short-term evaluation of immune levels and nutritional values of EN versus PN in gastric cancer: a systematic review and a meta-analysis.

Background: Postsurgical patients' oral feeding begins with clear fluids 1-3 days after surgery. This might not be sufficiently nutritious to boost the host immune system and provide sufficient energy in gastric neoplastic patients to achieve the goal of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Our objective was to analyze the significance of early postoperative feeding tubes in boosting patients' immunity and decreasing incidence of overall complications and hospital stay in gastric cancer patients' post-gastrectomy.
