Robotic sugarbaker parastomal hernia repair: updated series and outcomes.

Hernia

January 2025

Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, 1025 Morehead Medical Drive Suite 300, Charlotte, NC, 28204, USA.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.

Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.

Background: Pharmacological treatment is a cornerstone of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management, with general practitioners providing the most care. However, the lack of data on prescribing trends in initial pharmacotherapy in primary care hinders the understanding of how scientific and technical developments impact patient care and may also perpetuate suboptimal practices. Hence, this study aims to analyze trends in the initial pharmacological treatment of newly diagnosed COPD patients in Dutch primary care from 2010 to 2021.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but severe condition characterized by persistent obstruction and vascular remodeling in the pulmonary arteries following an acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Although APE is a significant risk factor, up to 25% of CTEPH cases occur without a history of APE or deep vein thrombosis, complicating the understanding of its pathogenesis. Herein, we carried out a narrative review discussing the mechanisms involved in CTEPH development, including fibrotic thrombus formation, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and abnormal angiogenesis, leading to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart failure.

Morphine and P2Y12 Inhibitors in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Updated Meta-Analysis.

Am J Cardiovasc Drugs

December 2024

Cardiovascular Institute, Detroit Medical Center, Heart Hospital, Wayne State University, 311 Mack Ave, Detroit, MI, 48201, USA.

Background: Morphine is used to control pain in ST-elevation myocardial infarction but reduces P2Y12 inhibition. It is not known if this modulation of platelet inhibition appreciably affects clinical outcomes.

Methods: We screened 979 articles and identified seven studies that met the eligibility criteria for meta-analysis.

Stroke recurrence and all-causemortality in CPAP-treated sleep-disordered-breathing patients.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis

December 2024

Danish Center for Sleep Medicine, Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Denmark; Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. Electronic address:

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects about 70 % of stroke patients and is closely linked to stroke development. It is unclear whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces the risk of stroke recurrence or mortality in post-stroke patients, partly due to limited follow-up time and small sample sizes of previous studies. To close this knowledge gap, this study investigated changes in stroke recurrence and mortality among CPAP-treated post-stroke patients with sleep-disordered breathing.
