Objective: The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize existing knowledge and evidence about the establishment of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways with emphasize on radical cystectomy (RC), and the emerging and prominent role of nursing within the ERAS pathway. The current status of implementation and adherence to ERAS protocol in RC is discussed and the impact on primary outcomes according to ERAS is summarized.
Methods: The review was conducted based on a focused search in PubMed and CINAHL.
Results: The goal of a modern RC enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) anno 2022 is to have a impact on patient care from diagnosis throughout recovery with focus on the , rather than speed, of recovery. This may be more in alignment with the patient's needs and preferences.
Conclusions: Nursing has been in the forefront since the establishment of ERAS, and the nurse-coordinator must be skilled in evidence-based medicine and have excellent communicative competencies to support the patient journey. Implementation of ERAS have reduced hospitalization by improved minimal surgery, optimized anesthetic regimes without increasing readmission rates. It is not known which items can reduce post-operative complications. In the future, nurses should seek a more prominent and leading role during the implementation process and take responsibility for continued education of the staff. Likewise, future nursing interventions will focus on early identification of modifiable risk factors, and a deeper exploration of the patients personally needs and preferences to upcoming surgery could optimize adherence throughout the pathway, which may add to positive outcomes.

Stoma reversal surgery is known for relatively high complication rates. While Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are extensively validated for colorectal surgery, their use in stoma reversal remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates clinical outcomes of stoma reversal surgery under ERAS protocols compared to standard care (SC) practices.

Over 50% of individuals with lower limb loss report a fear of falling and avoiding daily activities partly due to a lack of plantar sensation. Providing direct somatosensory feedback via neural stimulation holds promise for addressing this issue. In this study, three individuals with lower limb loss received a sensory neuroprosthesis (SNP) that provided plantar somatosensory feedback corresponding to prosthesis-floor interactions perceived as arising from the missing foot generated by electrically activating the peripheral nerves in the residuum.

Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols decrease postoperative complications, but data on their effect on diabetic patients undergoing pancreatectomy are scarce. This study assessed whether diabetes mellitus (DM) was a morbidity predictor after pancreatectomy within an ERAS program.
Methods: A cross-sectional study including all patients who underwent pancreatectomy (2012-2022) and followed an ERAS pathway was performed.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), poses a significant threat to global public health. Despite reports of liver injury during viral disease, the occurrence and detailed mechanisms underlying the development of secondary exogenous liver injury, particularly in relation to changes in metabolic enzymes, remain to be fully elucidated. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2-induced molecular alterations in hepatic metabolism and the consequent secondary liver injury resulting from alcohol exposure.

Excess biological sludge processing and disposal have a significant impact on the energy balance and economics of wastewater treatment operations, and on receiving environments. Anaerobic digestion is probably the most widespread in-plant sludge processing method globally, since it stabilizes and converts biosolids organic matter into biogas, allowing partial recovery of their embedded chemical energy. A considerable number of studies concerning applicable techniques to improve biogas production, both in quantity and quality, include pre-treatment strategies to promote biosolids disintegration aimed at the release and solubilisation of intracellular energy compounds, inorganic/biological amendments aimed at improving process performance, and sludge thermal pre-treatment.
