Emotional Reactivity and Regulation Relate to Surgical Treatment Decision Making Among Newly Diagnosed Women With Breast Cancer.
Cancer Med
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.
Background: Despite bilateral mastectomy (BLM) for early-stage breast cancer (BC) showing no survival benefit and increased risk compared to breast conserving surgery, some patients still choose this treatment. This study examined whether emotion reactivity and regulation influence treatment decision making among newly diagnosed women with breast cancer.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey data were analyzed as part of a larger study.
Twenty-year follow-up of a randomized clinical trial of unilateral thyroid lobectomy with or without postoperative levothyroxine treatment.
World J Surg
November 2024
Department of Endocrine Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Kraków, Poland.
Background: The aim of this study was to validate in 20-year follow-up (FU) the outcomes reported in World J Surg 2010; 34(6):1232-8 on recurrent nodular goiter in the contralateral thyroid lobe among patients after thyroid lobectomy (TL) for multinodular goiter (MNG) receiving versus not receiving postoperative prophylactic levothyroxine (LT4) treatment.
Methods: Some 150 consenting patients underwent TL for MNG in 2000-2003. They were randomized to two groups, 75 patients each: (a) receiving prophylactic LT4 treatment postoperatively (dose range 75-125 microg/day to maintain thyroid-stimulating hormone values within 0.
The advancements in the field of robotic surgery have led to its use in breast surgery. We report the first robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) using the da Vinci Xi surgical system, in Romania, for a patient with contralateral breast cancer. Immediate breast reconstruction was performed using a silicone implant.

Pediatr Surg Int
October 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Shizuoka Children's Hospital, 860 Urushiyama, Aoi-ku, Shizuoka, 4208660, Japan.
Purpose: Recurrence and contralateral metachronous inguinal hernia (CMIH) are important postoperative complications in patients with inguinal hernia (IH) who undergo laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure (LPEC). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and causes of recurrence and CMIH after LPEC.
Methods: Among the included patients, 2484 hernias were included in the analysis of recurrence.
Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) present with ongoing symptoms in a painful hip. Insightful patients or family members often express concern about similar pathology, and associated risk of arthritis, in their less or asymptomatic hip, and recent research shows that patients with increased alpha angles are associated with more advanced cartilage damage, particularly in males. The ultimate question, for surgeons and patients, is: Can we predict chondral pathology based on preoperative variables alone, and should we intervene prior to symptoms? Yet, FAIS is multifactorial, not simply anatomic, and cam-type FAI can have a high prevalence in asymptomatic hips in some populations.
