Unlabelled: We report a prospective study of 42 cases of primary uncomplicated umbilical and epigastric hernia operated by laparoscopy with a 1 year mean follow-up. The purpose of our study is to investigate the contribution of laparoscopy in the treatment of in terms of results in the short and medium term. Early surgical morbidity was 14.3%. There was no mortality. At 6 months of the intervention, 28.5% of patients have kept umbilical pain. At 1 year of intervention, 2 patients have kept umbilical chronic pain. No case of recurrence was noted. In conclusion, the laparoscopic approach should be reserved for cases of large hernias and for recurrent and incisional hernias.
Key Words: Epigastric hernia, Laparoscopy, Mesh, Umbilical hernia.

Fluid administration is widely used to treat hypotension in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). However, excessive fluid administration may lead to fluid overload can aggravate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and increase patient mortality, predicting fluid responsiveness is of great significance for VV-ECMO patients. This prospective single-center study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) and finally included 51 VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position (PP).

This study investigated the prevalence and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) and evaluated the effect of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in alleviating these symptoms. The study also explored the correlation between postoperative LUTS improvement and intraoperative electrophysiological findings. Prospective data were collected from a consecutive cohort of 247 children with SCP who underwent SDR and were retrospectively analyzed.

E-cigarette/vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) is strongly associated with vitamin E acetate and often occurs with concomitant tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use. To uncover pathways associated with EVALI, we examined cytokines, transcriptomic signatures, and lipidomic profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from THC-EVALI patients. At a single center, we prospectively enrolled mechanically ventilated patients with EVALI from THC-containing products (N = 4) and patients with non-vaping acute lung injury and airway controls (N = 5).

No study has examined the association between dietary insulin load (DIL) and insulin index (DII) with developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate the association between DIL and DII and risk of GDM in a group of pregnant women in Iran. In this prospective cohort study, 812 pregnant in their first trimester were recruited and followed.
