Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk factors and outcomes related to open conversion during minimally invasive liver resections (MILR), especially in minor hepatectomies, highlighting its association with inferior results.
- Analysis was conducted on data from over 10,500 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic liver resections from 2004 to 2020, identifying key independent predictors for open conversion.
- Results show that patients who required open conversion experienced longer recovery times, increased blood loss, higher complications, and elevated 90-day mortality rates compared to those who had successful minimally invasive surgeries.
This work adds a new eyeless species of the genus Micranops Cameron, 1913 (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Scopaeina) to the endogean Coleoptera of the Bolivian fauna. The loss of eyes is usually associated with adaptations to subterranean habitats, although M. bolivianus Guzman & Żyła sp.

Although myeloma remains incurable, new treatments have improved patients' life expectancy and quality of life. However, as these therapies are administered for prolonged and often indefinite periods, their success depends on high treatment adherence and significant patient engagement.

We utilized longitudinal parent survey data from pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 time periods from both the intervention and control arms of an existing cohort of parents enrolled in a 10-clinic cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT). At enrollment (pre-pandemic) and 12-month follow-up (pandemic), participants reported on mental health, physical health, and emotional support using PROMIS measures (n = 401).

- - The study focuses on determining how the time between completing neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and undergoing total mesorectal excision (TME) affects outcomes in patients with extraperitoneal locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), hypothesizing that longer intervals might increase pathologic complete response (pCR) rates without raising surgical risks.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 1,506 LARC patients across six centers, categorizing them into groups based on whether the interval between NAT and surgery was short (≤8 weeks), intermediate (>8 and ≤12 weeks), or long (>12 weeks), with a median follow-up of 33 months.
- - Results showed that the overall pCR rate was 17.
