AI Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1970 UC patients analyzed, 14 (6.4%) were found to have primary ATZ cancer, with multiple cancers and rectal cancers identified as significant risk factors.
- * The occurrence of de novo ATZ/pouch cancer was very low (0.2%), suggesting that both stapled and hand-sewn procedures have similar survival rates, but mucosectomy may be preferable for UC patients with colorectal cancer.
Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Performing a mucosectomy with a hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA] for ulcerative colitis [UC] theoretically reduces the risk of carcinoma arising from the anal transitional zone [ATZ]. Although current guidelines suggest a stapled anastomosis due to the low incidence of cancer after pouch surgery in UC patients, only a few small series have addressed the oncological advantage of mucosectomy. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence of ATZ/pouch cancer.
Methods: A total of 1970 UC patients who underwent surgery between April 1987 and December 2018 were included. We retrospectively analysed the incidences of primary ATZ cancer in the original operative specimen and de novo ATZ/pouch cancer after surgery. Possible risk factors for primary ATZ cancer and the pouch survival rate were assessed.
Results: Fourteen [6.4%] primary ATZ cancers developed in 220 UC-colorectal cancer [CRC] cases. Multiple (odds ratio [OR] = 8.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.77-27.83, p < 0.01) and rectal [OR = 6.48, 95% CI 1.41-29.7, p = 0.01] cancers were identified as independent risk factors for primary ATZ cancer. Four of 1970 [0.2%] patients developed de novo ATZ/pouch cancer and dysplasia. The 10-year estimated cumulative pouch survival rate was not significantly different between stapled IPAA and hand-sewn IPAA cases [95.9% and 97.3%, p = 0.25].
Conclusion: The risk of de novo ATZ/pouch cancer and dysplasia was rare. The decision to perform a hand-sewn or a stapled IAA should be made on a case-by-case basis. However, the relatively high incidence of primary ATZ cancer in UC patients with CRC suggests that mucosectomy should be recommended for this patient group.

: The number of seriously injured elderly patients is continuously rising. Several studies have underlined the benefit of orthogeriatric co-management in treating older patients with a proximal femur fracture. The basis of this orthogeriatric co-management is a certification as a Centre for Geriatric Trauma (ATZ).

The discharge of herbicides is a primary contributor to water contamination, presenting significant environmental and public health hazards. Encapsulating herbicides in a chemical compound called MAl-MOF/CS-CMC hydrogel bead (MACC) made from magnetic aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MAl-MOF) and crosslinked with chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) shows promise for potential use. The research successfully developed and examined MACC microspheres, utilizing various analytical techniques including PXRD, FESEM, TEM, FT-IR, and XPS.

This study presents a multidisciplinary reactor-to-repository framework to compare different advanced reactors with respect to their spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal. The framework consists of (1) OpenMC for simulating neutronics, fuel depletion, and radioactive decays; (2) NWPY for computing the repository footprint given the thermal constraints; and (3) PFLOTRAN for simulating radionuclide transport in the geosphere to quantify the repository performance and environmental impact. We first perform the meta-analysis of past comparative analyses to identify the factors that led previously to their inconsistent conclusions.

Article Synopsis
- Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and extrahepatic metastasis generally have a poor prognosis, but combination therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab (ATZ/BEV) shows strong antitumor efficacy.
- A 74-year-old man with a history of HCC faced severe complications, including rectovesical pouch dissemination, but responded well to ATZ/BEV treatment despite needing to discontinue bevacizumab due to fistula formation.
- After a year of treatment, the tumors shrank significantly, allowing for curative robot-assisted surgery which confirmed the successful removal of the HCC with clear margins.

Article Synopsis
- Research highlights a critical gap in understanding long COVID (PASC) in children and emphasizes the need for studies that define its characteristics in this age group.
- The objective is to identify common prolonged symptoms in children aged 6 to 17 post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, examining differences between school-age kids and adolescents, as well as potential symptom clusters for future research.
- A multicenter study involved nearly 5,000 participants, revealing that certain symptoms were significantly more prevalent in those with a history of COVID-19 compared to those without.
