The June 2002 COM. A male patient presented at the age of 57 years with a benign meningeal melanocytoma. Eight years later, the patient had a local recurrence of the tumor, cerebral metastases and liver metastases. This demonstrates that a correct diagnosis of melanocytic CNS tumors remains a challenge together with elucidating predictive markers for biological behavior. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a melanocytoma associated with hepatic metastasis.

Concomitant Tricuspid Valve Surgery With Mitral Valve Surgery for Moderate Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University-St Louis Medical School, St Louis, Missouri.
Background: Tricuspid valve surgical procedures (TVS) concomitant with mitral valve (MV) surgical procedures for less than severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains controversial. This study examined the long-term outcomes of patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV surgical procedures with or without TVS.
Methods: Patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV replacement or repair between January 2002 and June 2021 were included.
Decoding the drivers of variability in chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Pearl River Estuary: Intra-annual and inter-annual analyses of environmental influences.
Environ Res
January 2025
School of Marine Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, 519082, China; Pearl River Estuary Marine Ecosystem Research Station, Ministry of Education, Zhuhai, 519082, China; Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Marine Resources and Coastal Engineering, Zhuhai, 519082, China.
Temporal variability and associated driving factors of sea surface chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) in coastal waters have been extensively studied worldwide; however, the importance and spatial heterogeneity of these driving factors remain insufficiently documented. This study addressed this gap by investigating the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) from August 2002 to June 2016, using long-term remote sensing-derived data of Chl-a and potential driving factors, including total suspended solids (TSS), precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and sea surface temperature (SST); and in situ measurements of potential driving factors, including river discharge, wind speed, alongshore wind (u), cross-shore wind (v), and tidal range. A pixel-by-pixel correlation analysis was conducted to preliminarily examine the relationships between these potential driving factors and Chl-a.

Studies investigating the impact of donor cytomegalovirus (CMV) positivity on the prognosis of liver transplantation (LT) recipients with HCC are currently lacking. A total of 21 759 eligible LT recipients were identified in the UNOS database between January 2002 and June 2023. The patients were divided into the donor CMV-seronegative (n = 7575) and CMV-seropositive (n = 14 814) groups.

BMC Surg
December 2024
General Surgery Section, Zherong County Hospital, No. 8 Shangqiao Road, Ningde, Fujian, 355300, China.
Background: To investigate the effect of postoperative supplementary parenteral nutrition (SPN) containing varying energy intake levels during the early postoperative period on the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer.
Methods: Data from 237 patients, who were diagnosed with gastric cancer between January 2016 and June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on mean daily SPN energy intake: low (L-SPN; < 20 kcal/kg/day); and high (H-SPN; ≥ 20 kcal/kg/day).
