Comparing perioperative outcomes in video-assisted thoracic surgery and robot-assisted thoracic surgery in lung cancer surgeries: a single-centre experience

The Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Background Lung cancer continues to be the primary cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with surgical resection recognised as the gold standard for non-small cell lung cancer. Recent innovations in thoracic surgery, including video-assisted thoracic

SurgBox: Agent-Driven Operating Room Sandbox with Surgery Copilot [PDF]

arXiv
Surgical interventions, particularly in neurology, represent complex and high-stakes scenarios that impose substantial cognitive burdens on surgical teams. Although deliberate education and practice can enhance cognitive capabilities, surgical training opportunities remain limited due to patient safety concerns. To address these cognitive challenges in

Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Assembled Microspheres as Structural Color Barcodes from Revolving Microfluidics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐speed revolving microfluidic platform is developed for emulsifying high‐viscosity HPC‐MA solution to form droplets, which can be self‐assembled into CLCs by water evaporation and cured as structure color particles with well‐defined and adjustable encoding information while maintaining excellent biocompatibility.

Hybrid Approach of Aortic Diseases: Zone 1 Delivery and Volumetric Analysis on the Descending Aorta

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Introduction: Conventional techniques of surgical correction of arch and descending aortic diseases remains as high-risk procedures. Endovascular treatments of abdominal and descending thoracic aorta have lower surgical risk. Evolution of both techniques

Procedure-Aware Surgical Video-language Pretraining with Hierarchical Knowledge Augmentation [PDF]

arXiv
Surgical video-language pretraining (VLP) faces unique challenges due to the knowledge domain gap and the scarcity of multi-modal data. This study aims to bridge the gap by addressing issues regarding textual information loss in surgical lecture videos and the spatial-temporal challenges of surgical VLP. We propose a hierarchical knowledge augmentation

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

Short veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation assisted segmentectomy for second primary lung tumor in a patient with insufficient respiratory function for one lung ventilation

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have allowed safe performance of complex thoracic surgical procedures that were impossible before. Application of ECMO in general thoracic surgery is extremely rare, but allows life-saving procedures

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

Annals 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 ...

Prognostic factors for patients with esophageal cancer who achieve pathological complete response in the primary tumor after upfront chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Male gender and pathological lymph node metastasis are independent poor prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer who receive upfront treatment followed by surgery and achieved pathological complete response of the primary tumor. Among patients without pathological lymph node metastasis, the upfront chemotherapy group showed significantly ...
