Intestinal pouches are one of the techniques for the surgical treatment of the short bowel syndrome. In a experimental study with rats, the influence of the intestinal pouches in a model of 85-90% small bowel resection are investigated. The pouches improve the transit time of the resected animal. However, there is no improvement in the weight curves after extensive small bowel resection. This negative effect is due to the establishment of a blind loop syndrome at the level of the pouch. The intestinal pouches have no place in the surgical treatment of the short bowel syndrome.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after lung transplantation, but the reported incidence varies in the literature. No data on AKI have been published from the Swedish lung transplantation program.
Methods: The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence, perioperative risk factors, and effects of early postoperative acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] criteria) after lung transplantation.
Integration of novel artificial intelligence tools in pediatric urologic practice.
Curr Opin Urol

Department of Pediatric Urology, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA.
Purpose Of Review: There has been an explosion of creative uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with AI being touted as a solution for many problems facing the healthcare system. This review focuses on tools currently available to pediatric urologists, previews up-and-coming technologies, and highlights the latest studies investigating benefits and limitations of AI in practice.
Recent Findings: Imaging-driven AI software and clinical prediction tools are two of the more exciting applications of AI for pediatric urologists.
Impact of Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Pleural Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in Multimodality Treatment for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma.
Thorac Cancer
March 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Comprehensive Cancer Center, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background: Few malignancies provoke as many controversies about treatment as pleural mesothelioma. There is limited experience with novel radiotherapy techniques worldwide in adjuvant and particularly in neoadjuvant settings within multimodality treatment. The objective of the current study was to investigate the long-term outcome of neoadjuvant and adjuvant pleural intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with macroscopic complete resection with or without chemotherapy.

Superficial temporal artery and middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery is an effective method to enhance cerebral blood flow (CBF) in ischemic patients. However, the effectiveness of various bypass techniques varies with the diversity of Circle of Willis (CoW) structures. This study aims to develop a physiologically realistic hemodynamic model to optimize STA-MCA bypass planning for cerebral ischemia patients with different CoW structures.

Results: A PH1 teenager undergoing intensive hemodiafiltration received lumasiran. POx levels almost halved during the loading phase (98 to 52 µmol/L), but rebound occurred when doses were quarterly-spaced, with POx at 94 µmol/L at 5 months.
