Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 120 gastric cancer patients identified six key risk factors for delayed bowel function recovery, including age, cancer stage, and certain bowel sound indicators.
- * An advanced Bayesian model was developed to predict the likelihood of PPOI, demonstrating strong accuracy and potential clinical utility in improving patient outcomes post-surgery.
Background: The occurrence of complications following radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Elderly patients are susceptible to postoperative complications. This study seeks to investigate the risk factors associated with Clavien-Dindo ≥IIgrade complications following radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in elderly patients, develop a nomogram risk prediction model, and validate its accuracy.

Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of healthcare-associated infections, leading to higher mortality, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs, making them a significant issue in patient care.
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for SSIs in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery by analyzing patient data and developing predictive models to assist clinicians preoperatively.
- Out of 3,018 patients studied, 5% developed SSIs, with identified risk factors including age, gender, diabetes history, surgical site, NRS 2002 scores, and certain preoperative medical test results, using statistical analysis and nomograms for prediction.
Isolated scaphoid dislocation: A case report and review of literature.
World J Clin Cases
March 2022
Background: Isolated dislocations of the scaphoid are extremely rare types of injuries, commonly associated with severe ligament disruptions, and are occasionally misdiagnosed. Treatment options for dislocations of the scaphoid mainly include closed reduction, with or without internal fixation, and open reduction with ligament repair.
Case Summary: A 59-year-old male worker sustained a twisting trauma of his right wrist, caused by a moving belt while he was operating a machine.
Purpose: Our objective in this study was to summarize our 15-year experience treating carpal tunnel syndrome released with Chow technique, focusing on the complications and how to avoid them.
Method: We systematically evaluated the postoperative complications in 211 patients who underwent endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) with Chow technique. We recorded the incidence of complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I), median nerve and digital nerve injury, superficial palmar arch injury, and tendon injury.
Purpose: The purpose of our study was to probe the mechanism of how miR-224/cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 3 (CPEB3) axis is concerned with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: The expressions and prognostic values of miR-224 and CPEB3 in HCC patients were analyzed based on the data acquired from the TCGA and GEO databases. qRT-PCR was conducted to test the mRNA expression levels of miR-224 and CPEB3.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a serious dose-limiting toxicity of many anti-neoplastic agents, especially paclitaxel, and oxaliplatin. Up to 62% of patients receiving paclitaxel regimens turn out to develop CIPN. Unfortunately, there are so few agents proved effective for prevention or management of CIPN.

- The study aimed to investigate the roles of serum galectin-1 (Gal-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.
- Researchers enrolled 233 AIS patients and 252 healthy controls, measuring serum Gal-1 and Gal-3 levels, and evaluating AIS severity and functional outcomes over one year.
- Results showed that AIS patients had higher Gal-1 and Gal-3 levels, with Gal-3 correlating closely to stroke severity and poor patient outcomes, while Gal-1 was not linked to severity or outcomes.
Aim: To define the benefits of three-dimensional video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (3D-VATE) over 2D-VATE for esophageal cancer.
Methods: A total of 93 patients with esophageal cancer including 45 patients receiving 3D-VATE and 48 receiving 2D-VATE were evaluated. Data related to patient and cancer characteristics, operating time, intraoperative bleeding, morbidity and mortality, postoperative inflammatory markers, Numerical Rating Scale for postoperative pain, Constant-Murley rating system for shoulder recovery and oxygenation index (OI) were collected.
