Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.
Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge on the prevention and treatment of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) associated with transcatheter mitral valve replacement-a novel and evolving treatment alternative for mitral regurgitation-encompassing both surgical and pharmacological interventions. LVOTO is a potentially catastrophic complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Therefore, identifying patients at high risk for LVOTO and implementing a carefully tailored medical and surgical strategy are essential for optimizing perioperative management and improving patient outcomes.

Introduction: During sedation for gastroscopy, hypoxaemia represents the most common adverse event. The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) for the prevention of hypoxaemia, in comparison with nasal cannula oxygen therapy, among patients predisposed to hypoxaemia during sedation for gastroscopy.
Methods And Analysis: This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will include 616 patients at risk of hypoxaemia when undergoing gastroscopy, including those with advanced age, frailty, American Society of Anesthesiologists grades III-IV, obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, cardiac disease, respiratory disease and diabetes.

Background: Nasoenteral tube (NET) use is common in critically ill patients but is associated with significant complications, including accidental dislodgement, malpositioning in the bronchial tree or mechanical failures, which can impede nutritional therapy. These complications often lead to adverse events that increase hospital stay, costs, and patient morbidity.
Objective: This study aimed to reduce complications related to the placement and maintenance of NETs in critically ill patients using multifaceted strategies.

Background: Tumors and surgical procedures trigger a series of metabolic responses that put gastric cancer patients at constant risk of malnutrition during the perioperative period. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) for these patients remains a subject of ongoing debate.
Objective: This systematic review and evidence map aim to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on perioperative EIN interventions in gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery and evaluate their effectiveness.
