The extent of the 2020 pandemic not only extends to the infected patients but also to patients who have been waiting for medical procedures. Reevaluation of the healthcare system is important in order to help assist the needs of intensive care units. The urgency of the gynaecological cases should be aligned based on surgical interventions and minimally invasive methods should be preferred. This will not endanger professional and other resource demands of ICUs. In acute cases, laparoscopy or hysteroscopy (preferring office hysteroscopy) should be chosen, that require no or only short period of hospitalization. Postponing non-acute surgeries is recommended to the post-pandemic period. : ICU: intensive care unit; COVID-19: coronavirus disease; SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronaviruses; IgM-IgG: immunoglobulin M; GAGP: aerosol generating procedures; PPE: personal protective equipment; ERAS: early recovery after surgery; mESAS: modified elective surgery acuity scale; RPOC: retained product of concept; PMB: postmenopausal bleeding.

Propensity score matched comparison of lymph node upstaging in early-stage lung cancer: open versus minimally invasive surgery with standardized lymphadenectomy.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Division of Thoracic Surgery, LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich and Asklepios Lung Clinic, Gauting, Germany.
Background: Lymph node upstaging represents a quality criterion for standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery. The aim of the study was to compare whether the quality of standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery is comparable in minimally invasive (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) and the open approach (thoracotomy). Furthermore, factors associated with lymph node upstaging were assessed, as was its impact on overall survival and progression-free survival.

Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, which is transmitted by dogs and found on every continent except Antarctica. We sought to review the life cycle, epidemiology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment of Echinococcus granulosus of the liver.
Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted using Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science accessed between 1990 and 2024.
Clinical and molecular characteristics of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections: results of a multicentre study.
J Glob Antimicrob Resist
January 2025
Infectious Disease Clinic, Dept. Of Biomedical Sciences and Public Health, Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy; Infectious Disease, Azienda Sanitaria Pesaro-Urbino, Pesaro, Italy.
Objectives: KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is a great cause of concern and it is often associated with bloodstream infections (BSIs) and a high mortality rate. We identified the risk factors of KPC-Kp BSIs observed in three Italian hospitals and studied the epidemiology of KPC-Kp strains.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of KPC-Kp BSIs from 2014 to 2019 in three hospitals in Central Italy (Ancona, Pesaro-Fano, and Perugia).

Division of General, Minimally Invasive, and Robotic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: Transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair using the da Vinci Single-Port robot (SP-TAPP) is currently performed in few centers. We aimed to define the learning curve for SP-TAPP by analyzing operative times.
Methods: The operative times of 122 SP-TAPP performed between 2019 and 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
