AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Patients that undergo mastectomy for breast cancer with reconstruction may be prone to prolonged opioid use. As risk factors are not well-established, this article sought to better understand the risk factors that may be associated with this. Patients that underwent breast reconstruction between 2010 and 2018 were identified in PearlDiver, a national insurance claims database. Patient demographics and comorbidities were elucidated, and various complications were then identified. Descriptive statistics as well as a multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the association of risk factors and complications. Breast reconstruction patients of 24,765 were identified from this database. Obesity, tobacco use, benzodiazepine use, and anticonvulsant use were all associated with prolonged opioid prescriptions greater than 90 days after both alloplastic and autologous reconstruction. Prolonged opioid use continues to remain a topic of concern, and particularly in cancer patients that undergo breast reconstruction. Providers should be aware of potential risk factors for this to reduce this chance following breast reconstruction surgery.

Background: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) can face a lifelong risk of premature cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness may be some of the key mechanisms involved. Early identification of endothelial damage in ACHD could be crucial to mitigate the adverse events.

Background: Hypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is a worldwide clinical challenge and the leading primary risk factor for kidney dysfunctions, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. The kidney is a central regulator of BP by maintaining sodium-water balance. Multiple genome-wide association studies revealed that BP is a heritable quantitative trait, modulated by several genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

Endovascular repair has significantly improved the treatment of aortic aneurysms, particularly in older and high-risk patients. However, many studies have not found significant differences in long-term outcomes when comparing open and endovascular repair methods. Additionally, endovascular repair is associated with a higher rate of aortic-related reinterventions compared to open repair (OR), sometimes necessitating late open surgical conversion (LOSC).

Department of Painology, The First People's Hospital of Tongxiang City, 314500 Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China.
Aim: Posterior cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty (ELAP) is one of the main methods for the treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). However, some patients are vulnerable to developing complications such as kyphosis and axial symptoms after ELAP, potentially facing adverse prognosis following the procedure. At present, there are few reports on the short-term prognostic factors in Chinese patients with CSM after undergoing ELAP.

Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) primarily arises from a combination of genetic, environmental, and dietary factors. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages in managing CRC. This study investigates the factors influencing dynamic intestinal obstruction following laparoscopic colorectal radical surgery.
