Impact of Circular Stapler Size on Short‐Term Outcomes and Long‐Term Quality of Life After McKeown Esophagectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the impact of circular stapler size on both short‐term outcomes and long‐term QOL after McKeown esophagectomy. We revealed that short‐term outcomes, including anastomotic leakage and stenosis, did not differ between patients who underwent anastomosis with a 21 mm stapler and those with a 23 mm stapler.

This prospective randomized trial evaluated whether prehabilitation, exercise and nutrition intervention, enhance skeletal muscle mass during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy. We also investigated whether exercise alone was sufficient to increase skeletal muscle mass, and whether nutritional ...

Syndrome of the Month: An Update on Smith‐Kingsmore Syndrome: Characterization of Developmental Milestones and a Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smith‐Kingsmore syndrome (SKS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by neurodevelopmental differences, macrocephaly/megalencephaly, describable facial features, sleep–wake abnormalities, hyperphagia, and overgrowth. SKS is caused by pathogenic gain‐of‐function variants in MTOR which lead to hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway ...
