Objective: This study aims to figure out risk factors of in-hospital preoperative rupture of hyperacute type A aortic dissection (haTAAD) patients and build a prediction and risk stratification model.
Methods: From January 2011 to December 2019, 830 patients diagnosed as haTAAD from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were enrolled. Among them, 799 patients received prompt surgery and 31 suffered aortic rupture before operation. The association between in-hospital preoperative rupture and perioperative parameters were examined. Best subset selection was used for feature selection and ROC curve was used to identify the model.
Results: Age, winter season, back pain, preoperative hypotension, albumin and globulin ratio, high serum phosphorus level are risk factors for in-hospital preoperative rupture of haTAAD. On the basis of six variables with AUC 0.828, a nomogram was established. According to the robustness test, actual in-hospital preoperative ruptures were fitted well.
Conclusions: The in-hospital rupture prediction model was developed using logistic regression analysis. High serum phosphorus level is one of the strongest predictors. This nomogram may be useful when evaluating the risk of aortic dissection in-hospital rupture in future trials.

Purpose: Treatment strategies for space-occupying/symptomatic pineal cysts (PC) are still up for debate. In this study we present PC management, outcome data and risk factors for recurrence after surgery, focusing on microscopic/endoscopic procedures vs. stereotactic catheter implantation as alternative treatment concept to permanently drain PC into ventricles/cisterns.

Purpose: This study aims to propose a classification system to more accurately understand the features and nature of different CPs, to investigate the correlation between different topographies of CPs and their surgical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 91 surgically resected CPs. They were categorized into six types based on their location and origin.

Objectives: To characterize the radiological findings of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF).
Methods: This two-institution retrospective study included 152 patients with pathologically confirmed DF who underwent computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT between January 2001 and February 2024. Two board-certified radiologists independently evaluated the CT, MRI, and FDG-PET/CT findings, and a third board-certified radiologist resolved discrepancies.

Background: Despite being treatable, the prevalence of anemia is relatively high, affecting up to 30% of the general population and 35% of patients undergoing surgery. Symptoms are often misinterpreted and patients frequently do not recognize anemia as a disease. As a result, it is often not discussed during medical consultations.
