Prolonged Preservation of up to 24h at 10°C does not Impact Outcomes after Lung Transplantation.
Ann Surg
January 2025
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
Objective: To determine the impact of prolonged storage of donor lungs at 10°C of up to 24h on outcome after lung transplantation.
Background: An increasing body of evidence suggests 10°C as the optimal storage temperature for donor lungs. A recent study showed that cold ischemic times can be safely expanded to >12h when lungs are stored at 10°C.
Role of endoscopic sequestrectomy in the treatment of therapy-resistant radiculopathy in patients with extreme obesity: technical note and case report.
J Spine Surg
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany.
Background: Surgical treatment of therapy-resistant radiculopathy associated with lumbar herniated discs in patients with extreme obesity is a challenge for neurosurgeons. In addition to technical problems in surgery due to the abundant subcutaneous adipose tissue and perioperative risks, there are significant anesthetic risks when anesthesia is performed with a patient in the prone position. A surgical procedure should preferably be minimally traumatic and quick with minimal risks of complications.

Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
The Hip Preservation Institute, UPMC Whitfield Hospital, Waterford, Ireland.
Background: Coexisting symptoms can confound outcomes after arthroscopic correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Symptom burden (SB) represents the cumulative load of patient-reported symptoms.
Purpose: To quantify the prevalence of symptoms in athletes before and after arthroscopic correction of FAI and evaluate the impact of independent and cumulative SB resolution on outcomes.
The Role of Pre-operative "6 Minutes Walk Test" in Predicting the Risk of Early Pneumonia After Operation.
Sisli Etfal Hastan Tip Bul
December 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objectives: The study's goal is to find out if there is a link between the results of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) done before surgery and the chance of getting pneumonia after surgery in people with stage I lung cancer who are having a video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on data from 194 patients with lung cancer who underwent VATS lung resection between January 2020 and August 2023. We assessed the preoperative 6MWT findings and the likelihood of developing postoperative pneumonia using a logistic regression model.
Unveiling a Large Pelvic Mass in a Middle-Aged Woman: The Consequences of Neglected Gynecological Care.

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cape Fear Valley Health, Fayetteville, USA.
Pelvic masses in women can originate from both gynecological and non-gynecological sources, necessitating careful evaluation to ensure appropriate treatment. Gynecological masses can range from functional ovarian cysts and tubo-ovarian abscesses to malignant and benign tumors. This case report presents a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor (BOT), a rare type of ovarian neoplasm.
