Background/aims: To investigate the risk factors of postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Methodology: 207 cases suffered from pancreatic carcinoma or periampullary carcinoma received pancreatoduodenectomy in the Anhui Provincial Hospital from Dec. 2007 to Dec. 2012 were analyzed. 17 clinicopathologic factors that could possibly influence postoperative mortality and morbidity were selected for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis using Logistic Regression.

Results: Univariate analysis showed that major risk factors of postoperative mortality and morbidity of the patients were operation history, pre-operative drainage, total serum bilirubin level, alanine aminotransferase, serum albumin, serum pre-albumin, pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that alanine aminotransferase, pancreatic texture and pancreatic duct diameter were the independent risk factors of complications after pancreatoduodenectomy. Pancreatic duct diameter was the independent risk factor of pancreatic fistula. Pancreatic fistula was the independent risk factor of hemorrhage.

Conclusion: Postoperative complications of pancreatoduodenectomy are closed related to alanine aminotransferase, parenchyma texture and pancreatic duct diameter.

Introduction: Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) urethroplasty is the standard treatment for traumatic urethral strictures, but managing them remains challenging for urologists. Identifying factors leading to EPA urethroplasty failure benefits both patients and surgeons. This study aims to analyze risk factors for urethral stricture recurrence after one-year follow-up of EPA urethroplasty.

Dynamic Importance of Genomic and Clinical Risk for Coronary Artery Disease Over the Life Course.

Circ Genom Precis Med

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston. (S.M.U., K.P., B.T., A.C.F., P.N.).

Background: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at earlier identification. We sought to understand how the variable importance of genomic and clinical factors across life stages may significantly improve lifelong CAD event prediction.

Background: Females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present at a more advanced stage of the disease and have a higher risk of heart failure and death. The factors behind these differences are unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-related differences in clinical and genetic factors affecting adverse outcomes in the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.

: Individuals impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are at greater risk of developing obesity, however, few studies have prospectively measured ACEs and obesity during childhood. Associations with the adoption of obesogenic behaviours during childhood, which directly contribute to obesity are also understudied.: To examine associations between individual and cumulative ACEs, obesity, and obesogenic behaviours during childhood.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a known complication during the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It has the potential to alter the growth of the head or acetabulum and prevent the best outcomes. While past literature has evaluated the risks of AVN and strategies to avoid it, studies on the impact of AVN on the outcomes are scarce.
