Laparoscopic versus open resection for hepatocellular carcinoma according to the procedure's complexity: real-world weighted data from a national register.
HPB (Oxford)
December 2024
Department of Hepatobiliary and General Surgery, IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, Rozzano, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: Minimal access liver surgery (MALS) is considered superior to open liver resection (OLR) in reducing the perioperative risk in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). No national-level comparisons exist based on procedure complexity. This study aims to compare postoperative complications, postoperative ascites (POA), and major complications (MC) between MALS and OLR.

Unit of Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology, IRCCS San Raffaele Pisana, 00166 Rome, Italy; Department of Human Sciences and Quality of Life Promotion, San Raffaele University, 00166 Rome, Italy.
Background: In pediatric patients, celiac disease (CD) may influence the health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Aims: The study aimed to assess HRQoL and further characterise the clinical factors associated with reduced HRQoL, in a large multicenter pediatric cohort with CD.
Methods: The disease-specific questionnaire CD Dutch Questionnaire (CDDUX) and the generic questionnaire Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) were used to assess the HRQoL.
Red cell distribution width as a cardiovascular risk predictor in adults with hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa.
J Hum Hypertens
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of variability in red blood cell sizes and may indicate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially in low-resource areas, according to a study in Ghana and Nigeria.
- The study involved 319 adults with hypertension who underwent assessments like blood pressure and RDW measurement, revealing an average RDW of 13.96% and a median CVD risk score of 8.11%.
- Findings showed that RDW is positively correlated with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and WHO CVD risk scores, suggesting RDW could be a useful predictor of CVD risk in this population, particularly with an RDW cutoff of >14
Patients' Willingness to Perform Self-Wound Care: A Cross-sectional Study in the Primary Healthcare Sector in Singapore.
Adv Skin Wound Care
January 2025
Ling Jia Goh, MClin Res, MHA, Adv Dip (CCNC), BHS (Nursing), Dip (Nursing with Merit), is Nurse Manager (Research), Department of Nursing, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, Singapore. Xiaoli Zhu, MN, RN, is Wound Care Senior Nurse Clinician, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, and PhD candidate, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Background: Patient adherence to performing self-wound care (SWC) has a direct influence on the success of telewound care, a healthcare delivery mode that emerged in 2016 in National Healthcare Group Polyclinics in Singapore to relieve the healthcare burden. This mode of delivery was useful during the pandemic, when nonurgent face-to-face visits were switched to the use of telecommunications for consultation. Telewound care requires that patients be willing to perform wound care on their own; however, whether patients are willing to do so remains unknown.
