SurGNN: Explainable visual scene understanding and assessment of surgical skill using graph neural networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This paper explores how graph neural networks (GNNs) can be used to enhance visual scene understanding and surgical skill assessment. By using GNNs to analyze the complex visual data of surgical procedures represented as graph structures, relevant features can be extracted and surgical skill can be predicted.

Combined effect of frailty and sarcopenia on postoperative complications in older adults undergoing curative surgery for hepato‐biliary‐pancreatic cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A multivariable logistic regression model was performed using covariates that were significant in the bivariable analyses, including bile duct cancer, longer operative times, and greater blood loss. Prefrail or frail status combined with sarcopenia remained significant in this model (OR 4.74; 95% CI, 1.10–20.29; p = 0.04).

Randomized phase III study of gemcitabine, cisplatin plus S‐1 versus gemcitabine, cisplatin for advanced biliary tract cancer (KHBO1401‐ MITSUBA)

open access: yesJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 102-110, January 2023., 2023
Ioka and colleagues present the results of a phase III study comparing gemcitabine and cisplatin plus S‐1 (GCS) with gemcitabine and cisplatin for unresectable or recurrent biliary tract cancer. GCS demonstrated survival benefits and a higher response rate, and could be the new standard chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract cancer.
