Comparisons of short-term outcomes between robot-assisted, video-assisted, and open esophagectomy for resectable esophageal cancer after neoadjuvant treatment: a retrospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to VAMIE, no clear benefit exists for RAE in the treatment of resectable EC after neoadjuvant therapy. OE resulted in a longer hospital stay. Although the rate of successful right RLN node removal was higher with RAE, the clinical relevance for this is yet unclear.PMID:38617777 | PMC:PMC11009584 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-75 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Comparison of Contralateral vs Ipsilateral Vein Graft for Traumatic Vascular Injury Repair: A Cohort From PROOVIT
Am Surg. 2024 Apr 15:31348241246167. doi: 10.1177/00031348241246167. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTraumatic injury leading to arterial damage has traditionally been repaired using autologous vein graft from the contralateral limb. This often requires a secondary surgical site and the potential of prolonged operative time for patients. We sought to assess the use of ipsilateral vs contralateral vein grafts in patients who experienced traumatic extremity vascular injury. A multicenter database was queried to identify arterial injuries requiring operative intervention with vein grafting. The primary outcome of interest was n...

Mortality Risk in US Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Infants by Birth Size Classifications Comparing Three Growth Curves
CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences across curve sets in predicting mortality. Classification of size at birth is a relatively imprecise method to identify infants at risk for NICU mortality.PMID:38621373 | DOI:10.1159/000536180 (Source: Neonatology)

Impact of SARS-COV-2 pandemic on elective and emergency surgery in a university hospital
CONCLUSIONS: The actual study shows a global reduction of the surgical activity (elective and urgent) during de SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Global mortality of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are low, but the severe complications have been over the usual.PMID:38620504 | PMC:PMC7402232 | DOI:10.1016/j.ciresp.2020.07.013 (Source: Cirugia eEspanola)

Abbreviated Urine Collection Compared With 24-Hour Urine Collection for Measuring Creatinine Clearance in Adult Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Abbreviated urine collection may overestimate CrCl compared with 24-hour urine collection. Larger, well-conducted studies are needed to evaluate the accuracy of CrCl measured using different durations of urine collection in critically ill patients.PMID:38619016 | DOI:10.1177/10600280241241820 (Source: The Annals of Pharmacotherapy)

Household Air Pollution Interventions to Improve Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: An Official American Thoracic Society Research Statement
Conclusions: HAP is associated with adverse health effects in observational studies. However, it remains unclear which household energy interventions reduce exposure, improve health, can be scaled, and are sustainable. Researchers should engage with policy makers and practitioners working to scale cleaner energy solutions to understand and address their information needs.PMID:38619436 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202402-0398ST (Source: Am J Respir Crit Car...)
