Background: The aim of this study was to verify the safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection (ER) for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
Methods: Among a consecutive series of resections for gastric GISTs performed in a single center, the outcomes of patients who had ER were compared to standard surgical resection (SR).
Results: In the cohort, 329 consecutive primary localized gastric GISTs patients (, ER/SR = 251/78) were enrolled.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the preferred treatment for large renal stones, yet variability in outcomes arises from patient-specific factors and institutional practices. Understanding complications and predictors of success is essential to improving procedural efficacy.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate stone clearance rates, complications classified using the Clavien-Dindo system, and predictors of PCNL outcomes, with a focus on improving lower calyx stone clearance.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a non-neoplastic proliferation and macrophage activation that induces cytokine-mediated bone marrow suppression and features of intense phagocytosis in the bone marrow and liver, leading to multi-organ dysfunction and ultimate failure. The diagnosis of HLH in an intensive care setting is challenging, and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. HLH-94 is the standard protocol for treatment, consisting of dexamethasone and chemotherapy like etoposide.

Background: Low oxygen delivery (DO2) on cardiopulmonary bypass has been associated with acute kidney injury. We sought to determine the association of intraoperative DO2, postoperative length of stay, and major postoperative events.
Methods: DO2 values were calculated in 845 patients after initiation, and every 30 minutes on bypass.
