Objective: This study's objective is to assess the effect of preoperative factors on postoperative hydroureteronephrosis (HUN) after radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with bladder cancer (BC).
Methodology: Patients who underwent RC for BC between January 2019 and November 2022 and had unilateral or bilateral postoperative HUN were retrospectively analyzed. Patients without preoperative HUN but with postoperative HUN constituted the patient group, while patients without both preoperative and postoperative HUN constituted the control group, and they were compared with each other.
Results: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and postoperative metastasis were positively correlated with postoperative HUN ( = 0.238, = 0.007, and = 0.203, = 0.021, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the postoperative HUN was significantly associated with NAC (= 0.048; Exp() = 6.896, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-46.9) but not associated with the presence of metastasis ( = 0.054). Moreover, NAC increased the possibility of undergoing revision surgery ( = 0.002; Exp() = 26.9, 95% CI 3.2-225).
Conclusions: NAC is an independent factor for impaired anastomotic healing, increased postoperative HUN, and the need for revision surgery in patients with BC.

The role of C-reactive protein as a risk marker of postoperative delirium in older hip fracture patients: a prospective cohort study.
Eur Geriatr Med
December 2024
Department of Geriatric Medicine, Hospital Universitario de Navarra (HUN), Irunlarrea Street 3, 31008, Pamplona, Spain.
Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and serious neuropsychiatric syndrome that leads to higher morbidity and mortality. We investigated the association between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and the occurrence of POD in older hip fracture patients, and whether CRP predicted POD better than a clinical model.
Methods: Patients aged ≥ 75 years admitted for surgical repair of an acute hip fracture were recruited.
Postoperative physical rehabilitation in the elderly patient after emergency surgery. Influence on functional, cognitive and quality of live recovery: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario de Navarra (HUN), Pamplona, Navarra, Spain.
Background: The progressive aging of the population has meant the increase in elderly patients requiring an urgent surgery. Older adults, especially those with frailty, have a higher risk for complications, functional and cognitive decline after urgent surgery. These patients have their functional and physiological reserve reduced which makes them more vulnerable to the effects of being bedridden.

The Perioperative Period of Heart Transplantation Is Affected by Thyroid Hormone Status.
Thyroid
June 2024
Laboratory of Molecular Cell Metabolism, HUN-REN Institute of Experimental Medicine, Budapest, Hungary.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of thyroid hormone levels on outcomes in patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTx).
- During a period from 2013 to 2020, serum levels of thyroid hormones were measured pre- and post-HTx in 283 patients, revealing significant decreases in TSH, fT3, and fT4 after surgery.
- Administration of levothyroxine to both donors and recipients was linked to improved survival rates at various time points post-transplantation.
- The research also explored the relationship between thyroid hormone action in the heart and the use of mechanical circulatory support, with specific gene expressions linked to the need for such support, although no significant differences were found in certain gene expressions between different groups.
Association of postoperative delirium with serum and cerebrospinal fluid proteomic profiles: a prospective cohort study in older hip fracture patients.
Geroscience
June 2024
Department of Geriatric Medicine, Hospital Universitario de Navarra (HUN), Pamplona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent issue in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery, leading to adverse outcomes, and this study aimed to find links between biomarkers and POD development.
- Sixty patients were observed for signs of POD after spinal anesthesia, using daily assessments to classify them into POD and non-POD groups, with blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected for analysis.
- Results showed that 35% of patients developed POD, with a notable correlation between lower levels of the cytokine CXCL9 in both serum and CSF and the incidence of POD, suggesting that these biomarkers could help create predictive models for delirium.
