EIPL (extensive intra-operative peritoneal lavage) therapy was developed as a prophylactic strategy for peritoneal recurrence, with the goal of improving the quality of life and survival span for advanced gastric cancer patients with peritoneal free cancer cells. The purpose of this article is to review the therapy's contribution to a remarkable improvement in the 5-year survival for patients with positive lavage cytology on prospective randomized controlled clinical trials. We also advocate for the adoption of the EIPL as the optimal treatment protocol for advanced gastric cancer.

Free Functional Muscle Transfer in Brachial Plexus Injury Patients With Subclavian Artery Injury Using Arteriovenous Loop Grafts.
Microsurgery

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Free functional muscle transfer (FFMT) for brachial plexus injury (BPI) requires adequate donor arterial flow for successful anastomosis. However, concomitant BPI and subclavian artery injury are not uncommon. Arteriovenous (AV) loop graft is one of the methods used to extend vessels to areas with vascular depletion.

Purpose: To describe a case of central retinal artery occlusion following scleral buckling procedure combined with pneumoretinopexy in a patient with sickle cell (HbSC) retinopathy (SCR).
Methods: Scleral buckling procedure, combined with injection of 0.3 ml of 100% perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas in the vitreous, was performed without intra-operative complications under general anaesthesia as treatment of two separate macula-sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachments secondary to round holes, involving superior and inferior retina respectively, in the right eye of a 26-year-old Afro-Caribbean female with sickle cell disease.

Research Question: How safe and effective is transrectal oocyte retrieval (TROR) for fertility preservation in nulliparous virginal women?
Design: This was a retrospective single-centre study of 105 nulliparous women from five satellite centres of Fakih IVF, UAE, who underwent TROR for oocyte cryopreservation. Extensive bowel preparation and rectal cleansing was performed prior to oocyte retrieval. Patient characteristics, stimulation protocol, and procedure outcome and safety data were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is indicated as a valuable prognostic biomarker for recurrence and survival in patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after curative surgery.
- The study involved 18 patients with early-stage NSCLC, measuring their serum CEA levels before and after surgical resection over a follow-up period, revealing that 39% had elevated pre-operative CEA levels.
- Results showed that patients with a baseline CEA level above 5.0 ng/ml had significantly poorer disease-free survival compared to those with lower levels, underlining the potential of CEA to identify patients at risk for worse outcomes.
