Objectives: To evaluate our experience and short term surgical outcomes between two robotic systems.
Methods: The present study retrospectively analyzed 38 cases, who underwent robotic adrenalectomy between 2012-2019 at our center. The patients were divided into Group Si (n=11) and Group Xi (n=27), and the results of these two groups were compared.
Results: Demographic characteristics of both groups were similar between two groups. While, 42% of the patients had Cushing syndrome, 22% had Pheochromocytoma and 22% had Conn syndrome in the Xi group, 72% of the patients were non-secreting adrenocortical adenoma in Si group (p=0.005). The mean docking time in Group Xi was shorter than Si group (p=0.027). Console and total operation times were similar in both groups (p=0.312 and p=0.424; respectively). The intraoperative complication rate (p=0.500) and hospital stay (3.2±1.0 vs. 2.52±1.42 days, respectively, p = 0.077) were similar in both groups. Postoperative 4th and 12th hour Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were similar (p=0.213 and p=0.857; respectively). The average cost of robotic consumables was $210 higher in Xi group (p=0.495).
Conclusion: Our study shows that; the Xi robotic system is as safe as the Si system for adrenalectomy operations.

Longitudinal changes of macular neurodegenerative and vascular abnormalities on OCTA in sickle cell disease.
Retina
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Purpose: To evaluate the presence and progression of maculopathy in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT-Angiography (OCTA), and to identify clinical/laboratory risk factors for progression during follow-up.
Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination, including fundoscopy and macular SD-OCT/OCTA scans, was performed in consecutive SCD-patients (HbSS/HbSβ0/HbSβ+/HbSC genotype) during baseline and follow-up visits. SCR stage was based on fundoscopy instead of the Goldberg classification, since fluorescein angiography was not routinely used.
Second Time Around: Increased Rate of Living Donation From Repeat Organ Donors.

Department of Surgery, NYU Langone, New York, New York, USA.
Introduction: Some living organ donors will decide to donate again at a later date. Evidence has indicated that this practice may have increased in recent years. We evaluated the incidence and outcomes of this practice to inform counseling of potential repeat donors.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the files of patients treated using PFN-A or INTERTAN intramedullary nails to reveal additional superiorities or disadvantageous factors for selecting the better intramedullary fixation method in patients presenting with intertrochanteric femur fractures.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the files of the patients who were operated on for intertrochanteric femur fractures using intramedullary fixation methods between September 2010 and June 2015 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine, were reviewed. The data including age, gender, chronic diseases, causes of fractures, fracture classification based on Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO), the nail type (long or short), the interval between trauma and surgery, duration of anesthesia and surgery, hospitalization duration, amount of blood transfusion, the Tip-Apex Distance (TAD) in postoperative radiographs, functional outcomes according to Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), postoperative complications, need for revision, and mortality was noted.
Data transmission delay compensation algorithm for interactive communication network of offshore oil field operation scene in bad weather.

A data transmission delay compensation algorithm for an interactive communication network of an offshore oil field operation scene in severe weather is proposed. To solve the problem of unstable microwave signals and a large amount of noise in the communication network caused by bad weather, the communication network signal denoising method based on Lagrange multiplier symplectic singular value mode decomposition is adopted, and the communication network data denoising process is realized through five steps; phase space reconstruction, symplectic geometric similarity transformation, grouping, diagonal averaging, and adaptive reconstruction. Simultaneously, the weak communication signal is compensated after being captured, that is, the characteristics of the weak signal are enhanced.
