Background/aim: We evaluated the clinical impact of FOLFOXIRI regimen aiming for conversion surgery in patients with unresectable multiple colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).
Patients And Methods: A total of 42 patients with unresectable multiple CRLM who received chemotherapy with molecular agents were included in the analysis. The clinical results of FOLFOXIRI with other regimens were compared.
Results: The total conversion rate of 42 unresectable CRLM was 48.1%, and conversion cases had a better prognosis. Clinicopathological characteristics of conversion cases were more frequent in FOLFOXIRI induction, liver limited disease and maximum diameter × number (MDN) over 70. FOLFOXIRI achieved a higher conversion rate compared to other regimens (72.2% vs. 37.5%, p=0.0334), and significantly reduced the medication period until conversion surgery (median 5.8 courses) with a higher tumour necrotic rate. Consequently, the overall survival of conversion cases with FOLFOXIRI was better than that with other regimens (p=0.0055).
Conclusion: FOLFOXIRI plus molecular agents might provide a higher probability of conversion surgery with a prognostic benefit.

Is the freezing index a valid outcome to assess freezing of gait during turning in Parkinson's disease?
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Neurorehabilitation Research Group (eNRGy), KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Introduction: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling symptom for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). Turning on the spot for one minute in alternating directions (360 turn) while performing a cognitive dual-task (DT) is a fast and sensitive way to provoke FOG. The FOG-index is a widely used wearable sensor-based algorithm to quantify FOG severity during turning.

Department of Surgery, Southampton University NHS Trust, Southampton, United Kingdom SO16DP.
Background: In our center, patients with pancreatic cancer traditionally had Whipple's resections by general surgery teams until January 2013 when a hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) was introduced. We compared outcomes before and after introduction of HPB teams.
Methods: Data were collected from the records of all patients booked for Whipple's resections over a 12-year period.
Robotic, laparoscopic, and open liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score matched analysis of perioperative outcomes.
Surg Pract Sci
September 2023
Department of Hepatobiliary and Transplant Surgery, Saint Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery may confer perioperative benefit to patients with resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) but published data are limited. Robotic resection for HCC has recently been introduced in our institution, and the goal of this study is to benchmark patient outcomes against open and laparoscopic surgery.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation was performed of all patients undergoing liver resection for HCC in our institution between September 2012 and November 2022 using a prospectively maintained database.
Functional outcome improvement and surgical time reduction in a single-surgeon consecutive case series of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement: A minimum 5 years follow-up study.
J Exp Orthop
January 2025
Clinica Ortopedica E Traumatologica II IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli Bologna Italy.
Purpose: The learning curve of a single surgeon performing hip arthroscopy is reported to be steep, but, to date, the inflection point after which procedures are more successful is still unknown. The aim of this study was to design a learning curve focused on clinical outcomes, complications and revision/conversion rates.
Methods: Seventy-one hip arthroscopies performed for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by a single surgeon, with a minimum follow-up of 5 years, were considered.
ERAS failure and major complications in elective colon surgery: Common risk factors.
Surg Pract Sci
September 2022
Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Jorvi Hospital, Espoo, Finland.
Background: Proper implementation and practice of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol streamlines perioperative management to its optimum, resulting in fewer complications and lower costs. This study aims to identify potential risk factors for the failure of ERAS and for major postoperative complications in patients with elective colon resection.
Materials And Methods: This was a single center retrospective analysis including all consecutive patients for elective colon resection during June 2017 - June 2019.
