Background: The number of patients with hip and femoral fractures is increasing and is expected to further increase in upcoming years due to the ageing population and the life expectancy of the general population. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically assess the post-operative complications associated with the pre-operative use of Aspirin in patients undergoing surgery for hip or femoral fracture.
Methods: Common online databases: Google Scholar, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Cochrane database, EMBASE ( www.

Anatomical variation of the pulmonary vessels poses challenges to thoracoscopic lung resection and may be associated with an increased risk of intraoperative bleeding and damage to pulmonary circulation. Herein, we reported a rare and dangerous variation as the partial anomalous venous drainage of the right upper lobe into the superior vena cava in a patient undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for management of lung cancer of right upper lobe. The preoperative identification of such variation by 3D computed tomography scan allowed to plan a safe and accurate resection, and to prepare additional strategies for overcome unexpected intraoperative bleeding.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a predictive model using a random forest algorithm to determine the likelihood of postoperative adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) in infants under 3 months with intestinal malrotation.
Methods: A machine learning model was used to predict postoperative adhesive small bowel obstruction using comprehensive clinical data extracted from 107 patients with a follow-up of at least 24 months. The Boruta algorithm was used for selecting clinical features, and nested cross-validation tuned and selected hyper-parameters for the random forest model.
