Two cases of mannosidosis are reported in brothers, one aged 41 years at death, the other aged 40 years and still alive. These patients are the oldest reported in the literature. Prolonged survival has previously been associated with the milder Type II phenotype. In addition to the characteristic clinical and radiological features of mannosidosis, both had severe joint destruction, which may be related to abnormal lysosomal enzymes in cartilage. The activity of acidic alpha-mannosidase was markedly reduced in plasma, leucocytes and fibroblasts, and the altered kinetic and physical properties are described.

Background: Non-traumatic emergency abdominal surgeries are common in most healthcare settings. To a significant extent, the outcomes of treatment are determined by the promptness of surgical interventions. However, the in-hospital waiting time which reflects perioperative promptness remains largely unexplored in developing countries.

Objective: This study analyzed inpatient mortality and length of stay for lung cancer surgery in Illinois hospitals by patient clinical and demographic characteristics, procedure types, and hospital and surgeon volume.
Methods: The study analyzed lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy or sublobar resection at Illinois hospitals from 2016 to June 2022. Trends in procedure type, inpatient mortality, one-day length of stay (LOS), and prolonged LOS (>10 days) were evaluated.

September 2024
Department of Thoracic Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, USA.
Background: Marital status has been shown to have protective effects for married patients with various cancers. We sought to determine effects of marital status on perioperative outcomes after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy (RAPL).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 709 consecutive patients who underwent RAPL between 2010 and 2022 by one surgeon.
Is there an impact of surgeon's experience on in-hospital outcome in patients with operatively treated proximal humerus and humerus shaft fractures?
Surg Pract Sci
March 2025
Division of Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Zurich (USZ), University of Zurich (UZH), Raemistrasse 100, 8091 Zuerich, Switzerland.
Background: Proximal humerus and shaft fractures are common, comprising 10-11 % of all fractures. Progress in their management includes refined surgical techniques and implants, coupled with a deeper understanding of fracture patterns.
Aims: This study examines the effect of surgical education on in-hospital outcomes for operatively treated proximal and humerus shaft fractures, aiming to enhance patient care and results.
CT-based radiomics predicts HRD score and HRD status in patients with ovarian cancer.

Department of Gynecology, Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute, Cancer Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China.
Introduction: This study predicted HRD score and status based on intra- and peritumoral radiomics in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) for better guiding the use of PARPi in clinical.
Methods: A total of 106 and 95 patients with OC were included between January 2022 and November 2023 for predicting HRD score and status, respectively. Radiomics features were extracted and quantitatively analyzed from intra- and peri-tumor regions in the CT image.
