Effect of Broad‐Spectrum Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Post‐Pancreatoduodenectomy Infectious Complications: Nationwide Inpatient Database Study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using a nationwide Japanese inpatient database, we evaluated whether broad‐spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis improves postoperative outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy compared with narrow‐spectrum antibiotics. In propensity score–weighted analyses of 45 099 patients, broad‐spectrum prophylaxis was associated with significantly lower rates of intra ...

Preoperative Total Iron‐Binding Capacity Is a Novel Surrogate Marker of Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes After Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
HCC patients with low preoperative TIBC levels experienced significantly more frequent post‐hepatectomy complications. Furthermore, these patients were significantly correlated with worse survival. Preoperative serum TIBC levels may be a novel surrogate marker of postoperative complications and long‐term survival after hepatectomy.

Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Alcohol Consumption Is a Risk Factor of Surgical Site Infection After Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Secondary Observational Analysis of a Clinical Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Alcohol consumption was independently associated with Surgical Site Infection in the gastroenterological Minimally Invasive Surgery. Whether preoperative abstinence from alcohol prevents the occurrence of SSI warrants further investigation. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the postoperative complications. Risk factors for SSI

Impact of Recanalization on Liver Hypertrophy after Portal Vein Embolization and the Role of Re‐Embolization

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study of 249 patients undergoing hepatectomy after right portal vein embolization (PVE) demonstrated that major recanalization–defined as recanalization more than one segment within the embolized liver–was associated with impaired regeneration of the future liver remnant (FLR).

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

Long‐Term Quality of Life in 1777 Persons With Hodgkin Lymphoma and 6166 Matched Comparators

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Survival has improved substantially for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), but long‐term quality of life (QoL) remains incompletely understood. This was a Danish, nationwide, cross‐sectional study of QoL among persons with a diagnosis of HL matched 1:10 to general population comparators.

m.10010T>C Mitochondrial Disease: A Case Report With Hypoparathyroidism and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that play a critical role in cellular metabolism, including the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the identification of rare pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variants in patients with unexplained endocrine disorders.
