Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of the biofilm of venous ulcers in terms of location and formation and to relate the presence of the biofilm to ulcer characteristics including duration, injured area, and necrotic tissue.
Design: Descriptive clinical study.
Materials And Methods: We obtained 2 biopsy fragments (tissue samples) from 44 patients with venous ulcers treated at a public outpatient clinic in a university hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The First People's Hospital of Linping, Hangzhou, China.
Objective: To investigate the effects of peer-led intervention on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of stoma care, as well as quality of life in bladder cancer patients post-permanent ostomy.
Methods: A series of 340 eligible bladder cancer patients who underwent permanent ostomy from January 2019 to December 2022 were enrolled in this study. These participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (peer-led intervention) and the control group (routine health intervention) using random number table, with 170 cases in each group.

This study, employing an interim analysis, investigates the effects of the Dermamecum protocol, a structured educational and tailored approach that stratifies ostomy patients into risk paths (green, yellow, red) based on pre-operative and post-operative characteristics. The green path indicates a low risk of peristomal skin complications (PSCs), focusing on sustaining healthy behaviours and basic stoma care. The yellow path represents a moderate risk, emphasizing the need for patients to self-monitor and recognize early signs of complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use and characteristics of home invasive mechanical ventilation (HIMV) in Finland from 2015 to 2022, focusing on patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency.
- Data analyzed included demographics, underlying conditions, treatment duration, and mortality rates of 179 HIMV patients, revealing a decrease in the number of patients over the eight years studied.
- Results show a high mortality rate (46.9%) among patients, with an overall declining prevalence of HIMV, indicating the need for careful planning and consideration of less invasive treatments when managing chronic respiratory issues.

Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Purpose: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is being increasingly used for the treatment of right-sided colon cancer, although there is still no strong evidence that CME provides better long-term oncological outcomes than D2 dissection. The controversy is mainly regarding the survival benefit from extended lymph node dissection emphasized by CME.
Methods: This multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.
