Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...

Uses of Bovine Pericardium in General Surgery

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Bovine pericardium is a versatile biologic material with expanding applications across general surgery. ABSTRACT Background Bovine pericardium (BP) is increasingly utilised in complex surgical reconstruction because of its favourable biological and mechanical properties.

Pathophysiology of Delayed Gastric Conduit Emptying After Oesophagectomy: A Multicentre Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicentre study of 272 patients, early and late delayed gastric conduit emptying after oesophagectomy emerged as distinct phenotypes. Early DGCE was predicted by open surgery, whereas late DGCE was predicted by GOJ tumour location and postoperative complications.

Severe Abdominal Aortic Calcification in Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Vascular Frailty Marker for Selecting Total Pancreatectomy?

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Severe abdominal aortic calcification on preoperative CT may identify vascular frailty in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Integrated with fistula‐risk scores and frailty assessment, it may inform discussion of standard PD versus planned total pancreatectomy in selected high‐risk patients, while AAC alone is not an indication for TP ...

Prevention and Management of Driveline Infections in Ventricular Assist Device Patients: The DESTINE 2.0 Staging Proposal and Expert Recommendations

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
DESTINE 2.0 decision flowchart: stage‐based assessment and management of driveline exit‐site disorders. The flowchart provides a simplified decision‐support tool for the stage‐based evaluation and management of driveline exit‐site disorders in LVAD patients, intended as a practical complement to the staging pyramid (Figre 2) and the detailed staging ...

Multiscale Modeling of a Geometrically Tunable Shunt for Growing Pediatric Patients With Single Ventricle Physiology

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Here we investigated the development of a geometrically tunable blood for patients with single ventricle physiology. Two multiscale cardiovascular models were customized and implemented at timepoints spanning across the beginning and end of the shunt‐use period.

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

Cisterna Chyli Dilation Is a Risk Factor for Liver Nodules and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Fontan‐Associated Liver Disease: Pathophysiological Role of Lymphatic Dysfunction

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In Fontan‐associated liver disease (FALD), chronic congestion often confounds conventional fibrosis markers, complicating surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although lymphatic dysfunction is fundamental to Fontan physiology, its contribution to hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear.

Validation of Cardiorespiratory‐Gated Proton Beam Delivery for Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) with scanned proton beams was performed in a porcine model targeting the left ventricular free wall (A). Dual gating synchronized proton delivery with both respiratory and cardiac motion was compared to single gating using only respiratory motion (B).
