Background: There is controversy and limited data the management of rectosigmoid junction cancer (RSJC), especially the role of radiation. We aim to investigate the role of preoperative and postoperative radiation in RSJC and whether this cancer should be treated as a colon cancer or as a rectal cancer.
Methods: The data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and identified from 2000 to 2018.

We explored the association between journal quality and DEI metrics for cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) journals and investigated whether editorial diversity correlates with diversity across published articles.

Article Synopsis
- Long-term respiratory issues after COVID-19 are a major concern, especially since many studies have focused mainly on severely ill patients; this study specifically examines mild to moderate cases.
- The research involved 300 participants, comparing pulmonary function six to eight months after recovery, analyzing how their viral load during initial infection affected their breathing patterns.
- Findings revealed that about 35.5% of recovered individuals displayed abnormal respiratory patterns, with lower viral loads predicting restrictive patterns, highlighting a previously unreported link between initial viral load and long-term lung function.
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is the second most common histological subtype of renal cell cancer. This research aims to present a large database study highlighting the demographic, clinical, and pathological factors, racial disparities, prognosis, and survival of PRCC. The clinical and demographic data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and molecular data was cured from the Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database.
