Stoma reversal surgery is known for relatively high complication rates. While Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are extensively validated for colorectal surgery, their use in stoma reversal remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates clinical outcomes of stoma reversal surgery under ERAS protocols compared to standard care (SC) practices.

The negative symptoms of schizophrenia include diminished emotional expression, avolition, alogia, anhedonia, and asociality, and due to their low responsiveness to available treatments, are a primary driver of functional disability in schizophrenia. This narrative review has the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of the current research developments in the treatment of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, and begins by introducing the concepts of primary, secondary, prominent, predominant, and broadly defined negative symptoms. We then compare and contrast commonly used research assessment scales for negative symptoms and review the evidence for the specific utility of widely available off-label and investigational treatments that have been studied for negative symptoms.

Health utility scores of six common cancers in China measured by SF-6Dv2.

Health Qual Life Outcomes

January 2025

School of Health Management, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, 150081, China.

Purpose: Given the recent update of SF-6Dv2, detailed data on utility scores for cancer patients by cancer type remain scarce in China and other regions, which limits the precision of cost-utility analyses (CUA) in cancer interventions. The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate utility scores of six common cancers in China measured using SF-6Dv2, and identify the potential factors associated with utility scores.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2022 to December 2023.

Purpose: To update previously published clinical and radiographic outcomes of Dejour sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R), at mid-term follow-up, and monitor trends in patient reported outcome scores and satisfaction.

Methods: Using the same cohort of patients from our previously published short-term series of 2-year follow up, interval follow-up was performed on 67 patients (76 knees) with severe trochlear dysplasia and recurrent patellar instability who were prospectively enrolled and underwent Dejour sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty and MPFL-R combined with other patellar-stabilization procedures. Patients with less than 2-year follow-up were excluded.

Self-interactive learning: Fusion and evolution of multi-scale histomorphology features for molecular traits prediction in computational pathology.

Predicting disease-related molecular traits from histomorphology brings great opportunities for precision medicine. Despite the rich information present in histopathological images, extracting fine-grained molecular features from standard whole slide images (WSI) is non-trivial. The task is further complicated by the lack of annotations for subtyping and contextual histomorphological features that might span multiple scales.
