Surgery for Older Cancer Patients: Cross‐Organ Review and Good Practice Statement by the Japanese Geriatric Oncology Guideline Committee

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We conducted a cross‐organ review of surgical outcomes in older cancer patients based on literature cited in Japanese clinical guidelines. This study summarizes postoperative complication rates and survival outcomes across five major cancer types. The findings aim to support the development of geriatric oncology surgical guidelines tailored to Japan's ...

Ocular Findings as the Most Striking Manifestation of a SMAD3 Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loeys‐Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder with variable expressivity. It is a multisystemic condition mainly characterized by a propensity for arterial aneurysms and dissections, skeletal manifestations, hypertelorism, bifid uvula, craniosynostosis, and cutaneous features.

Outcomes in the emergency endovascular repair of blunt thoracic aortic injuries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thoracic aorta blunt injury (BAI) is a highly lethal lesion. A large number of victims die before obtaining emergency care. Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) is a less invasive method compared with open surgery and may change protocols for ...

Establishment of rat model for aspiration pneumonia and potential mechanisms

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Aspiration pneumonia was induced in Sprague Dawley rats by intratracheal instillation of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 1.5 μL/g.wt, pH = 1) followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 20 μg/g.wt) after 1 h. The model reproduced hallmark features of acute lung injury, including histological lung damage, microvascular dysfunction, inflammation, hypoxemia, and ...

Influence of the arterial elastic component on the response to balloon angioplasty in femoral arteries of a healthy porcine model

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

A companion to the preclinical common data elements and case report forms for in vivo rodent neuroimaging: A report of the TASK3‐WG3 Neuroimaging Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force established the TASK3 working groups to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.
