Background/aim: Liposarcomas (LS) are one of the most common entities within the heterogenous group of soft tissue sarcomas. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic indicators in patients with LS of the extremities and truncal wall.
Patients And Methods: We analysed the influence of potential prognostic factors on local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) in 181 patients who were suitable for surgical treatment with curative intent.
Results: The median follow-up period was 7.1 years. The 5-year LRFS and OS rates were 79.1 and 93.3%. The 5-year OS rate was 94.7% in patients with R0-resected primary tumors and 72.7% in patients with R1/R2-status (p=0.023). In multivariate analysis, only histologic grade was found to be an independent prognostic factor of OS.
Conclusion: Negative margins were not an independent prognostic factor in our series. Tumor biology reflected by histologic grade dictated the outcome.

Presurgical anxiety and acute postsurgical pain predict worse chronic pain profiles after total knee/hip arthroplasty.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), School of Medicine, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, Braga, 4710-057, Portugal.
Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

The primary objective of this study was to examine neurological disorders and cognitive impairments in patients with secondary hypothyroidism and epilepsy undergoing treatment with antiepileptic medications. The study included 184 patients divided into three groups: Group 1 (subclinical hypothyroidism, n = 60), Group 2 (manifest hypothyroidism, n = 64), and Group 3 (control, n = 60). Patients in Group 2 received levothyroxine therapy (initial dose of 25 μg/day, titrated to 50-100 μg/day), while Groups 1 and 2 were treated with anti-seizure medications (valproic acid, 40 mg/kg/day).

Aim: Local excision (LE) for T1 rectal cancer may be recommended in those with low-risk disease, while resection is typically recommended in those with a high risk of luminal recurrence or lymph node metastasis. The aim of this work was to compare survival between resection and LE.
Method: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study set in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Biomedical Research Group on Biomaterials and Wound Healing (Ciber-BBN), Traslational Research and Innovation in General and Digestive Surgery (Idipaz), 28046 Madrid, Spain.
Background/objectives: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most concerning complications following gastrectomy. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the predictive accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), fibrinogen, and the mean platelet volume (MPV) in the early diagnosis of post-gastrectomy AL.
Methods: A prospective bicentric observational study was conducted including all patients undergoing elective gastrectomy between August 2018 and December 2022.
