Neuronal Endothelin a Receptor Mediates Experimental and Clinical Vascular Pain through an Endothelial‐Neural Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors develop mouse models by mimicking peripheral vascular diseases, combining multiple strategies and transgenic mouse lines, to demonstrate that ECs, but not macrophages or SMCs, play an active role mediated by endothelial ET‐1/neural ETAR signaling and beyond endothelial homeostatic angiocrine by driving protective pain through the ...

Frailty Recovery Following Minimally Invasive Surgery: An Emerging Perspective on Surgical Benefits in Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This prospective study investigated the impact of MIS on frailty and outcomes in elderly CRC patients. While frail patients showed lower OS, MIS was safely performed. Among recurrence‐free patients, frailty status improved at 1 year, suggesting that curative surgery may offer not only oncologic benefits but also potential for frailty improvement ...

European multicentre study on outcome of surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Some 5861 patients undergoing first‐time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism were registered in the Eurocrine® database between 2015 and 2018. The use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement decreased the risk of conversion and persistent hypercalcaemia.
