We assessed the prognostic meaning of very early (<6 h) troponin increase after noncardiac surgery in a population of patients admitted to the recovery room, for whom troponin measurements were taken because of a suspected cardiac event. Among a total of 296 patients, abnormal troponin was found in 24 (8.1%). Ten patients in this group (41.7%) and 27 among those with normal troponin (9.9%) experienced cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or decompensated heart failure at one month (p < 0.0001). Troponin was independently associated with a two-fold risk of events (p < 0.0001). In these patients, very early troponin measurement in the recovery room may help to identify patients at risk of cardiovascular events.

To develop and validate a predictive model for assessing the risk of early postoperative high intraocular pressure (HIOP) following posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. The clinical data of patients who underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between May 2023 and April 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into a modeling group and a validation group with a 7∶3 ratio using computerized random allocation.

Aim: Compare the convergent and divergent viewpoints of early-stage postoperative patients with glioblastoma and their caregivers on end-of-life care planning in Taiwan.
Background: Decision-making capacity in patients with glioblastoma may be compromised as disease progresses, making early future care planning essential to ensure that the provided care aligns with patients' goals. However, within many Asian cultures, the tendency to avoid discussions about death can lead patients to feel hesitant about addressing end-of-life care options.

Department of Ophthalmology, Kayseri City Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey.
Purpose To investigate changes in accommodation amplitude (AA) after strabismus surgery. Methods The medical records of patients who underwent full-tendon tenotomy on at least one rectus muscle between January 2023 and July 2023 were reviewed retrospectively. AA was evaluated objectively and monocularly with the autorefractometry (Tonoref III, ARK-1a, NIDEK Co Ltd, Gamagori, Japan).

Introduction: Advances in treatment strategies for gastric and esophageal cancer have led to improved long-term outcomes, however the local and systemic effects of tumor growth, neoadjuvant therapies and surgery, results in specific nutritional challenges. Comprehensive nutritional evaluation and support represents a core component of multidisciplinary holistic care for this patient population.
Areas Covered: This review provides a detailed overview of the nutritional challenges in gastric and esophageal cancer, with a focus on malignant obstruction, preoperative optimization and nutrition in survivorship.
