Article Synopsis
- Following the withdrawal of paraquat, diquat (DQ) has become the main herbicide, but it poses serious risks, including a poisoning mortality rate of up to 50%.
- DQ poisoning can range from mild to fulminant, the latter often leading to multiple organ failure within 48 hours, complicating clinical treatment.
- Research indicates that DQ may damage endothelial cells (EC), which are crucial for blood circulation in sensitive organs, and the authors suggest this EC damage could be a key factor in the severe organ failure associated with DQ poisoning.
Rationale: Vascular complications associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) increase the in-hospital mortality. Perforation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) cannulation and subsequent emergency management prior to vascular surgery has rarely been reported.
Patient Concerns: A 72-year-old female was diagnosed with IVC perforation caused by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation.
Robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: a meta-analysis of long-term survival and urogenital functional outcomes.

Introduction: Robotic surgical technology has been widely introduced and applied in various fields of surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze long-term oncological and urogenital functional outcomes following laparoscopic/robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) in rectal cancer surgery.
Evidence Acquisition: We identified studies that compared oncological and functional outcomes following laparoscopic TME (LTME) and robotic TME (RTME) for treatment of rectal cancer over the past 16 years.
