Objective: To investigate the utility of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and inflammatory panel in predicting the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) among patients undergoing elective isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: A total of 116 patients (mean age: 61.9 ± 9.8 years, 78.4% were males) undergoing isolated CABG were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups, including those who developed PoAF (N = 26) and those without PoAF (N = 90). Inflammatory panel was evaluated in both groups.
Results: Patients with PoAF had significantly higher values for P-wave dispersion (PWD; 53.9 ± 5.9 versus 40.2 ± 5.1, P < .001), HATCH score (2.4 ± 1.3 versus 1 ± 1.1, P < .001), and left atrial dimension (4.0 ± 0.3 versus 3.8 ± 0.2 cm, P = .003). In the multivariate analysis with inclusion of PWD, HATCH score and SII, only SII (OR 1.007, 95% CI 1.002 to 1.012, P = .003) and PWD (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.225 to 2.757, P = .002) were shown to be independent predictors of increased risk for PoAF.
Conclusion: Preoperative SII seems to be a non-invasive readily available marker that significantly predicts the risk of PoAF in patients undergoing isolated CABG.

Dose-Response Relationship of Phloretin Therapy on Water and Glucose Transport during Experimental Peritoneal Dialysis.

Background: Water retention, ultrafiltration insufficiency, and metabolic complications due to abnormally high glucose concentrations are still common problems in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis. Phloretin, a nonselective inhibitor of facilitative glucose transporter channels (GLUT), has shown to improve water transport and lower glucose absorption in experimental peritoneal dialysis. However, the dose-response relationship remains unknown, and we therefore performed a dose-response study to elucidate the pharmacodynamic properties of intra-peritoneal phloretin therapy.

Background: Individuals with hearing impairments may face hindrances in health care assistance, which may significantly impact the prognosis and the incidence of complications and iatrogenic events. Therefore, the development of automatic communication systems to assist the interaction between this population and health care workers is paramount.
Objective: This study aims to systematically review the evidence on communication systems using human-computer interaction techniques developed for deaf people who communicate through sign language that are already in use or proposed for use in health care contexts and have been tested with human users or videos of human users.

Importance: After cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient's visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Importance: Previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of short-term histopathological outcomes and complications associated with transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) compared with laparoscopic TME. However, the long-term oncological outcomes of transanal TME remain ambiguous. This study aims to compare 3-year disease-free survival of transanal TME with laparoscopic TME.

Importance: Given the favorable overall prognosis of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the morbidity of increased adjuvant therapy associated with positive surgical margins, large-scale studies on the accuracy of frozen sections in predicting final surgical margin status in HPV-related OPSCC are imperative. Final surgical margin status is the definitive assessment of tumor clearance as determined through surgeon-pathologist collaboration based on permanent analysis of frozen section margins, main specimens, and supplemental resections.
Objectives: To assess the accuracy and testing properties of intraoperative frozen section histology (IFSH) in assessing final surgical margin status in patients undergoing transoral surgery for HPV-related OPSCC.
