Infectious complications following transperineal prostate biopsy with or without periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis-a systematic review including meta-analysis of all comparative studies.
Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis
December 2024
Department of Urology, St. Elisabeth Hospital Straubing, Brothers of Mercy Hospital, Straubing, Germany.
Background: Despite the relatively low infection rate following transperineal prostate biopsy (TPB), it remains unresolved whether periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) can be omitted. Our aim was to compare infectious complications (genitourinary infections/GUI, fever, sepsis, readmission rate, 30-day-mortality) following TPB, considering all studies of varying levels of evidence that enable a direct comparison between patients with and without PAP.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive search in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases, as well as grey literature sources, to identify reports published until January 2024.
Butterfly Cartilage Inlay Technique for Repairing Medium-to-Large-Sized Tympanic Membrane Perforations.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: The butterfly cartilage inlay technique was originally developed for repairing small tympanic membrane (TM) perforations but is now increasingly used for repairing large TM perforations. Although studies have evaluated the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations, no study has compared its effectiveness with that of the conventional underlay cartilage technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium-to-large-sized TM perforations compared with that of the conventional underlay cartilage.

PLoS One
December 2024
School of Health Rehabilitation Sciences, Health Sciences University, Bournemouth, United Kingdom.
Background & Aims: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has shown significant improvements in postoperative outcomes and a reduction in complications, while immunonutrition (IMN) has been shown to modulate the immune system and inflammatory response. However, many studies have overlooked the crucial aspects of nutrition status and patient perception within the intervention approach. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and explore patients' acceptance of the IMN intervention in postoperative outcomes among gynecological cancer (GC) patients under the ERAS framework.

PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Hat-Yai, Songkhla, Thailand.
Background: To highlight the risk assessment tool associated with postoperative cardiopulmonary complications of Clavien-Dindo (CD) ≥ II in elderly patients who underwent lung cancer surgery.
Methods: In patients ≥ 60 years admitted during 2020-2023 and having undergone lung cancer surgery, postoperative cardiopulmonary complications were examined using the CD classification as groups (CD grade I versus ≥ II), and the risk factors were analyzed using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Results: Of the 239 elderly patients, 29.
