Traumatic injury remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with traumatic bleeding being one of its most critical and fatal consequences. The use of whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) in trauma management has rapidly expanded. However, interpreting WBCT images within the limited time available before treatment is particularly challenging for acute care physicians.

Rationale: Ovarian tumor torsion is a critical gynecological emergency, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, with benign teratomas being the most common culprits. In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding.

Recent advances in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) come from studies investigating younger (age<60 years) adults or older (age≥75 years) or less fit adults. Uncertainty exists for the management of otherwise healthy adults with AML in their 60s and 70s, which also represents a significant proportion of AML cases. We discuss current considerations in older, fit adults with AML including determination of fitness, what factors beyond fitness should be assessed, and finally what challenges and innovations lie ahead to improve outcomes for these patients.

Purpose: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been noted to face increased cancer incidence. Yet, the impact of concomitant renal dysfunction on acute outcomes following elective surgery for cancer remains to be elucidated.
Methods: All adult hospitalizations entailing elective resection for lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, or colon cancer were identified in the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample.
