Purpose: Few studies have reported on the interactions between gastrectomy and antithrombotic therapy, especially the long-term prognosis. We aimed to clarify the short- and long-term prognosis of gastrectomy for patients on antithrombotic therapy.
Methods: We reviewed the perioperative data and survival rate of patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) at our institute between 2010 and 2013.
Results: There were 119 patients enrolled in this retrospective study: 31 who were taking antithrombotic drugs (antithrombotic therapy (ATT) group), and 88 who were not (non-ATT group). The mean age was significantly higher in the ATT group than in the non-ATT group. No significant differences were observed in the amount of intraoperative bleeding or blood hemoglobin level after surgery between the groups. Bleeding complications occurred in only one patient from the ATT group, and the postoperative complication rate was comparable between the groups. During follow-up, cerebrovascular or cardiovascular events developed in 19.4% of the ATT group patients and 4.5% of the non-ATT group patients; however, there were no significant differences in the 5-year overall survival rates between the groups (ATT group, 76.9%; non-ATT group, 82.9%).
Conclusions: Antithrombotic therapy did not affect the short-term or long-term prognosis of patients after LDG.

Evaluating the impact of Canadian cannabis legalization on cannabis use outcomes in emerging adults: Comparisons to a US control sample via a natural experiment.

Background: Recreational cannabis legalization marked a significant policy shift in Canada, but has been difficult to evaluate because of the absence of a control group. Although it is unfeasible to evaluate legalization using a randomized controlled trial design, sophisticated statistical techniques can employ quasi-experimental designs using natural experiments. This study evaluates the impact of cannabis legalization in a longitudinal cohort of Canadian emerging adults by comparing changes in cannabis use frequency and related consequences over time to changes in a similar cohort in a United States jurisdiction where no policy change took place.

Purpose: To evaluate the healing of meniscal repair performed concomitantly with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using second-look arthroscopy, and the relationship between meniscal healing and knee laxity using quantitative evaluation under anesthesia.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent primary double-bundle ACLR with meniscal repair between June 2016 and June 2021, with a two-year minimum follow-up. Meniscal healing was evaluated by second-look arthroscopy at least one year postoperatively, and knee laxity was measured under general anesthesia preoperatively, intraoperatively, and at second-look.
Arthroscopic lateral ligament reconstruction for isolated chronic lateral ankle instability is associated with longer recovery compared to arthroscopic Broström repair and inferior extensor retinaculum augmentation.

Background: Patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) can be managed with arthroscopic Broström repair and inferior extensor retinaculum augmentation or arthroscopic assisted lateral ligament reconstruction using ipsilateral semitendinosus autograft, with good functional outcomes in patients. It is unclear whether one offers better outcome that the other. This retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data compared the outcomes of repair and reconstruction.

Department of Radiology, Tianjin First Central Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are common forms of dementia, characterized by overlapping clinical symptoms. Functional neuroimaging can provide valuable information for precise diagnosis. Our objective was to explore cerebral perfusion alterations in DLB and AD, and to determine which perfusion parameters are helpful in distinguishing DLB and AD.

Background: Mental health problems, particularly anxiety and depression, are indeed among the leading health challenges worldwide, affecting individuals across all age groups and geographic locations. The relationship between mental health and socioeconomic factors, including household wealth status, is well-documented. However, there are currently no studies demonstrating a causal relationship between household wealth and common mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
