Purpose: The liver and peritoneum are common sites of colorectal metastases. Hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is considered gold standard treatment. We attempt to compare the survival outcomes for CLM patients after hepatectomy to that of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM) who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with CPM and CLM who underwent surgery between January 2003 and May 2011 was performed. The overall (OS) and disease-free survivals (DFS) were compared.
Results: There were 22 patients with CPM who underwent CRS and HIPEC and 186 patients who underwent hepatectomy for CLM. Patients with CPM had a 3-year OS of 39 % and DFS of 27.7 %. CLM patients showed a 3-year OS of 58.5 % and a DFS of 28.8 %. Most recurrences for CPM occurred within 2 years, while CLM patients continue to develop systemic recurrences over 3 years, showing a gradual decline in DFS and OS during this period of time.
Conclusion: Our results show that CRS and HIPEC for CPM confer good OS and DFS rates and that the DFS after CRS and HIPEC is comparable to that after hepatectomy for CLM.

Background: Postoperative pain remains a prevalent issue, whose intensity is often inadequately controlled. This could lead to complications, longer hospital stays and unnecessary suffering. Understanding surgical patients' perspectives on pain management can help to identify areas for improvement.

Background: Persisting post-concussion symptoms (PPCS) is a condition characterized by prolonged recovery from a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and compromised quality of life. Previous literature, on the basis of small sample sizes, concludes that there are several risk factors for the development of PPCS.
Objective: We seek to identify protective and risk factors for developing slow recovery or persisting post-concussion symptoms (PPCS) by analyzing medical history, contact sport level, setting, and the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) assessments at baseline and post-injury.

Background: The oncologic significance of specific KRAS point mutations for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is uncertain. This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of KRAS point mutations on patients who underwent surgery for CLM.
Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for CLM from 2001 to 2020 were selected for the study.

Background: As increased attention is placed on optimizing long-term outcomes of trauma patients by addressing mental health, little is known regarding the interplay of pre- and postinjury mental health on long-term financial and functional outcomes.
Methods: Patients from 19 Level 1 and 2 trauma centers took part in serial surveys 1 to 24 months postdischarge. Preinjury mental health diagnoses were identified using trauma registry data and postinjury mental health symptoms from survey data.

The aim of this study was to evaluate if the Ki-67 labeling index (LI) on immediate pre-ablation biopsies of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is associated with the presence of viable tumor cells in subsequent ablation zone biopsies and/or local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS). Biopsies of CLM were performed before and after microwave ablation (MWA), as part of a prospective clinical trial between October 2013 and May 2019. Pre-ablation biopsy slides were examined for the Ki-67 LI using light microscopy.
