AI Article Synopsis
- GIST treatment primarily involves surgery, but resection can be complex for gastric GISTs due to their location and potential complications afterward.* -
- A case study presented a 66-year-old woman who underwent a successful robot-assisted transgastric resection of a 4 cm low-grade GIST, ensuring free surgical margins.* -
- The use of minimally invasive techniques like transgastric resection may reduce post-operative issues such as stenosis and hemorrhage, but further research is necessary to support this approach.*
Article Abstract
Introduction And Importance: GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor) treatment is surgical however surgical resection, especially for gGIST (gastric GIST), may be challenging due to location of tumor and the possible sequelae post resection.
Case Presentation: We present a case of 66-year-old female presented for the management of gGIST. We opted for transgastric resection assisted by robot. The resection was with free surgical margins for a 4 cm GIST tumor low in grade.
Clinical Discussion: Classical wedge resection of gastric tumors poses post-operative complications especially if the tumor is located near the cardia or pylorus. Various minimally invasive techniques were described aiming to avoid post-operative complications as in stenosis and gastric reflux.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive transgastric resection of gGIST tumor seems to be worth of attention for it can prevent stenosis, hemorrhage and can preserve gastric tissue. Further studies need to be involved to endorse this technique.

Gluteal Augmentation: A Historical Perspective on Aesthetic Practice.
Aesthet Surg J Open Forum
December 2024
Buttock augmentation has emerged as a significant focus in cosmetic surgery, driven by advancements in techniques and increasing patient interest in body contouring. The evolution of this field, from early pioneering methods to modern, diverse approaches, highlights the need to understand the specific characteristics of each technique and their implications for aesthetic outcomes. The author aims to provide a detailed review of 4 major buttock augmentation techniques: gluteal implants, Brazilian butt lift (BBL), intramuscular polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and deep subcutaneous hyaluronic acid fillers.

January 2025
Background: Chronic neuropathic pain is a major health problem that adversely affects people's physical and mental well-being, as well as their quality of life. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) may offer a minimally invasive option earlier in the treatment continuum for adults with chronic neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional medical management. We conducted a health technology assessment of PNS for adults with chronic neuropathic pain, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding PNS, and patient preferences and values.

University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Liquid biopsy techniques have developed rapidly in recent years and demonstrated success in cancer detection, disease characterization, and ongoing disease monitoring. These components, including circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and cell-free DNA (cfDNA), offer minimally invasive diagnostic tools that provide valuable insights into the genomic landscape of tumors. Its applications have expanded to include various malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Research Institute of Orthopedics, The Affiliated Jiangnan Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.
Purpose: In this study, we aimed to assess the occurrence of hidden blood loss (HBL) and its associated risk factors in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who underwent percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF).
Methods: Sex, age, height, weight, body mass index, and medical history including hypertension, diabetes, and osteoporosis were recorded. The duration of symptoms, preoperative lumbar subcutaneous fat tissue thickness (measured using midsagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging), lumbar disc degeneration grade, and other basic patient information were also documented.
