Background: In this retrospective study, we aimed to compare single-port (SP) and two-port (TP) video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the surgical resection of mediastinal tumor.
Methods: Between December 2015 and October 2018, a total of 191 consecutive mediastinal tumor patients who underwent SP- or TP-VATS in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were enrolled. Propensity-matched analysis, incorporating preoperative clinical features, was used to compare the perioperative outcomes and analyse the safety and efficacy between SP-VATS and TP-VATS for mediastinal tumor.
Results: There were 43 patients in the SP-VATS group, and 148 patients in the TP-VATS group from December 2015 to October 2018. Propensity matching produced 40 pairs in this retrospective study. The baseline characters were all well balanced. During the operation, the SP-VATS group showed shorter operation time (89.38 101.82 min; P=0.042) and less chest tube [16 (40.0%) 28 (70.0%); P=0.007] than TP-VATS group. Postoperatively, SP and TP groups showed similar results in terms of morbidity and recovery.
Conclusions: In this retrospective study, our experiences have shown that SP-VATS is a safe and promising technique and is not inferior to the TP-VATS.

Nephrol Dial Transplant
January 2025
Department of Nephrology, Kidney Transplantation and Dialysis, CHU Lille, University of Lille, Lille, France.
Background And Hypothesis: Unlike X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome, no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has yet been demonstrated in patients carrying a single variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Methods: We carried out a multicenter retrospective study to assess the risk factors involved in renal survival in patients presenting a single pathogenic variant on COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Results: 97 patients presenting a single pathogenic variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4 were included.
Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral With Collagen for Anterior Maxillary Ridge Augmentation: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Clin Implant Dent Relat Res
February 2025
Department of Implantology, The Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Time to neonatal mortality and its predictors among preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in northern Ethiopia, 2023/2024: a retrospective cohort study.
Arch Public Health
January 2025
Department of Maternity and Neonatal Nursing, School of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Aksum University, Aksum, Tigray, Ethiopia.
Background: A preterm neonate is defined by the World Health Organization as a child delivered before 37 weeks of gestation. In low- and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia, preterm-related complications are serious health problems due to increases in the mortality and morbidity of newborns and children under 5 years of age. The aim of this study was to assess the time to neonatal mortality and its predictors among preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in northern Ethiopia, 2023/2024.

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most common and detrimental complications of total knee replacement arthroplasty (TKA). Despite extensive efforts, including two-stage reimplantation, to eradicate PJI, it still recurs in a substantial number of patients. However, the risk factors of recurrence after two-stage reimplantation of the knee have not been established.

Background: Both quantitative and qualitative aspects of muscle status significantly impact clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Comprehensive monitoring of baseline muscle status and its changes is crucial for risk stratification and management optimization. However, repeatable and accessible indicators are lacking.
