Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) have limited effective treatment options. Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) increase the anti-tumoural phenotype of tumour-associated macrophages, providing rationale to combine them with rituximab and lenalidomide (R). Acalabrutinib, a second-generation BTKi, has potential to improve R efficacy without increasing T-cell-mediated toxicity due to its lack of interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase inhibition.

Aim: Use of the appendix for an antegrade continence enema (ACE) is not always possible. Various methods exist for creating cecostomy tubes, including percutaneous, endoscopic, or surgical placement. We describe our laparoscopic cecostomy technique and review short- and long-term outcomes.

Background: Botulinum toxin (BT) is a well-recognised treatment of chronic functional constipation (FC) and soiling refractory to medical treatment. The aims of this study were to assess the short and long-term outcomes of BT injection into the external anal sphincter muscles (EAS) for chronic FC treatment.
Methods: We studied 196 children unresponsive to medical management of chronic FC, soiling, painful defecation and withholding behaviour (Rome III criteria) from April 2011 to January 2023.

Background: Statin use has been studied and confirmed to have a beneficial impact on perioperative carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) outcomes. The benefits of Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) in hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and renal disease are well-known; however, the impact of continuing or withholding ACE-Is/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) on CEA and CAS outcomes is not addressed well in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative statin use combined with ACE-Is/ARBs in patients undergoing CEA or CAS on mortality and morbidity using a multi-institutional database.

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly prescribed to patients with hypertension. These drugs are cardioprotective in addition to their blood pressure-lowering effects. However, it is debatable whether hypertensive patients who present for non-cardiac surgery should continue or discontinue these drugs preoperatively.
