Analysis of the characteristics and management of perforated peptic ulcer from 2011 to 2022: A multicenter and retrospective descriptive study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The in‐hospital mortality rate for perforated peptic ulcer in this study was 5.0%, and conservative treatment was safely performed even in elderly patients. As the perforation diameter increased, the rate of gastrectomy tended to rise, and the rate of anastomotic leakage in those patients was high.

Perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy after doublet versus docetaxel‐based triplet neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients: A nationwide inpatient database study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide inpatient database study of 5229 patients aged 70–79 years who underwent esophagectomy for cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overlap propensity score weighting analysis showed that neoadjuvant docetaxel‐based triplet regimen (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5‐fluorouracil) was not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative ...

Generalizability analyses with a partially nested trial design: the Necrotizing Enterocolitis Surgery Trial [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We discuss generalizability analyses under a partially nested trial design, where part of the trial is nested within a cohort of trial-eligible individuals, while the rest of the trial is not nested. This design arises, for example, when only some centers participating in a trial are able to collect data on non-randomized individuals, or when data on ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 infection of companion animals in Egypt and its risk of spillover

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 13-24, January 2023., 2023
Graphical abstract depicts SARS‐CoV‐2 spillover in humans and their pet animals with common symptoms. Besides, it illustrates number of SARS‐CoV‐2‐infected cats and dogs with severity of respiratory signs. Abstract Background Reverse zoonoses occur because of interactions between humans and animals.

Regional and patient characteristic disparities in the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to clarify whether differences in minimally invasive surgery outcomes are associated with regional and patient characteristics. This study found regional and patient characteristic disparities in minimally invasive surgical outcomes; national policies should be implemented to address these inequities.

Molecular screening of SARS‐CoV‐2 in dogs and cats from households with infected owners diagnosed with COVID‐19 during Delta and Omicron variant waves in Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 82-90, January 2023., 2023
• SARS‐CoV‐2 was detected in 2 cats out of 20 examined (10%). • SARS‐CoV‐2 was not detected in dog samples. • The two cats positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 had clinical signs and were in close contact with COVID‐19 positive owners. Abstract Objective The emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in dogs and cats in different countries worldwide raises concerns that ...

Use of biogenic nanomaterials to improve the peritoneal dialysis technique: A Translational Research Perspective [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Intraperitoneal and catheter exit site infections are the most common complications associated with prolonged peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy used for treating the patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). Recurrent and persistent infections often cause inflammation of the peritoneum, a condition known as infectious peritonitis and to resolve the ...

Applying a random projection algorithm to optimize machine learning model for predicting peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer patients using CT images [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Background and Objective: Non-invasively predicting the risk of cancer metastasis before surgery plays an essential role in determining optimal treatment methods for cancer patients (including who can benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Although developing radiomics based machine learning (ML) models has attracted broad research interest for this ...
