Perioperative Aspirin Continuation in Patients Requiring Secondary Prevention Undergoing Anatomical Lung Resection: A Propensity Score‐Weighted Analysis

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 14, July 2026.
In 625 patients undergoing anatomical lung resection, we compared perioperative aspirin continuation with no antithrombotic therapy using propensity‐score (IPW) weighting. Continuing aspirin showed only a nonsignificant trend toward major bleeding (OR 5.87, p = 0.08) and no increase in cardiac or cerebrovascular events. Conversely, patients who stopped

Fluoroquinolone Use and Risk of Pneumothorax in Adults Hospitalized With Community Acquired Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2026.
We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study to evaluate the association between fluoroquinolone administration for inpatients with pneumonia and 60‐day risk of pneumothorax.

Cytologic Findings in Esophageal Perforation: An Institutional Experience With Pleural Fluid Specimens

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 429-435, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, and most cases are due to iatrogenic causes. The rest occur spontaneously, due to malignancies, or trauma. The mortality rates can approach 50%, and delayed diagnosis of EP exacerbates patient outcomes.

Postoperative Weight Gain, Due to Fluid Retention After Ovarian Cancer Surgery—How Much Is too Much?

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 133, Issue 7, Page 909-917, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer patients are associated with impaired survival. Here, we investigated the association between postoperative weight gain due to fluid retention and the development of complications and anastomotic leakage (AL).
