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.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare congenital clinical syndrome characterized by venous malformations in multiple organs, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and lungs. In June 2022, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University admitted a rare case of BRBNS. The patient was hospitalized due to abdominal distension and a history of recurrent hematochezia.

Incisional hernia of abdominal wall is one of the most common complications following open surgery. Giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is defined as having a maximum defect diameter >12 cm or a hernia sac volume-to-abdominal cavity volume ratio >20%. The Primary treatment for giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall is surgical repair; however, both open surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery are associated with significant technical difficulty, high surgical trauma, frequent postoperative complications, and suboptimal 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.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is marked by significant clinical heterogeneity, posing challenges for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. Conventional approaches, such as endoscopy and histology, often fail to adequately and accurately predict medium and long-term outcomes, leading to suboptimal patient management. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force enabling standardized, accurate, and timely disease assessment and outcome prediction, including therapeutic response.
