Risk factors for pneumonia after endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery in cases with prior esophageal cancer treatment

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study found that the risk factors for postoperative pneumonia after endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery for superficial laryngopharyngeal cancer were multiple lesions and larger lesion diameter. Prior esophagectomy for esophageal cancer did not increase the incidence of pneumonia, suggesting the procedure can be safely performed with careful ...

Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture is associated with poor oncological outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture (OVF) was associated with poor long‐term outcomes in patients with HCC after hepatic resection. Osteopenic OVF had a poorer prognosis than that of patients with either osteopenia or OVF. Abstract Background Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...

A novel method to enhance pneumonia detection via a model-level ensembling of CNN and vision transformer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is a fundamental diagnostic tool, but traditional analysis relies on time-intensive expert evaluation. Recently, deep learning has shown immense potential for automating pneumonia detection from CXRs. This paper explores applying neural networks to improve

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

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

Efficient and Accurate Pneumonia Detection Using a Novel Multi-Scale Transformer Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Pneumonia, a prevalent respiratory infection, remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations. Chest X-rays serve as a primary tool for pneumonia detection; however, variations in imaging conditions and subtle visual indicators complicate consistent interpretation.

Prognostic impact of postoperative fixed‐point inflammation in patients with gastric cancer after curative gastrectomy: A validation cohort study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The cutoff value of CRP by sex for poor OS remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the cutoff values of CRP on postoperative day 3 to predict poor OS in men and women with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. The high‐CRP group has poorer overall survival than the low‐CRP group for gastric cancer after gastrectomy.
