Five‐Year Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sphincter‐Preserving Surgery for Rectal Cancer: A Prospective Study in Elderly Vietnamese Patients

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This prospective study demonstrates that laparoscopic sphincter‐preserving surgery is feasible for elderly patients. While overall survival reaches 70% at 5 years, advanced T‐stage and the omission of neoadjuvant therapy significantly drive recurrence, highlighting the need for personalized geriatric protocols despite logistical challenges.

A Low Psoas Muscle Index Was Associated With a Poorer Overall Survival in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
In patients with malignant ureteral obstruction undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy, sarcopenia defined by a low psoas muscle index was independently associated with poor overall survival on multivariate Cox regression analysis, suggesting that preoperative assessment of psoas muscle index may aid prognostic stratification in this population.

Temporal Interference Stimulation of Centromedian‐Parafascicular Complex in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

Evaluating Outcomes and Costs in Perioperative Care [PDF]

JAMA Surgery, 2013
Over the past three decades, international comparisons of medical spending and population health outcomes have become a commonplace feature of U.S. health policy debates. Most often, these contrasts are cited as prime evidence of shortcomings in the cost-effectiveness of health care in the U.S., where medical expenditures dramatically exceed those seen

Automatic Lesion Morphometrics Reliably Predict Sensorimotor Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury: A Longitudinal, Multicenter Neuroimaging Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate automatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐derived lesion morphometrics against manual measurements and their prognostic value for characterizing distinct acute to chronic neurological recovery trajectories after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods We studied a retrospective, multicenter cohort of cervical and thoracolumbar

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Frailty, and Outcomes of Surgical Hospitalizations: A National Population‐Based Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Hospitalization, particularly for surgery, represents a period of heightened stress. We evaluated how frailty attenuates the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with negative health outcomes after elective noncardiac surgery. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample (2018 to 2020), including adults

The Association of Gout Flare Resolution With Physical Activity and Sleep: A Prospective Remote‐Monitoring Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to determine whether gout flare resolution is associated with physical activity and sleep. These findings were intended to inform the future development of a definition for flare resolution. Methods Data from 81 participants with gout who experienced at least one flare during a six‐month prospective observational study were ...
