Norepinephrine Infusion and the Central Venous Waveform in a Porcine Model of Endotoxemic Hypotension with Resuscitation: A Large Animal Study
Venous waveform analysis is an emerging technique to estimate intravascular fluid status by fast Fourier transform deconvolution. Fluid status has been shown proportional to , the amplitude of the fundamental frequency of the waveform's cardiac wave upon deconvolution. Using a porcine model of distributive shock and fluid resuscitation, we sought to determine the influence of norepinephrine on of the central venous waveform.

Radical Resection of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer in Elderly Patients: Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Immunocolloidal Gold Strip Method Combined with Nanocarbon Negative Imaging Tracing Technology for Parathyroid Gland Imaging
Extant imaging methods used for the proper identification of the parathyroid glands to prevent post-operative hypothyroidism associated with the resection of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are limited by factors such as low specificity, high cost, and technical complexity. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the efficacy of the immunocolloidal gold strip method combined with nanocarbon negative imaging tracing technology for parathyroid gland imaging during radical resection of DTC in elderly patients.
Prognostic Value of Tumor Regression Grade Combined with Pathological Lymph Node Status in Initially Node-Positive Rectal Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
The prognostic value of tumor regression grade (TRG) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer is inconsistent in the literature. Both TRG and post-therapy lymph node (ypN) status could reflect the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy. Here, we explored whether TRG combined with ypN status could be a prognostic factor for MRI-based lymph node-positive (cN+) rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
A Novel Preoperative Classification System for Selecting Suitable Surgeries in Liver Transplant Patients with Portal Vein Cavernous Transformation
To evaluate the new preoperative Changgung classification (CC) system of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in choosing suitable operative procedures to reconstruct portal veins during liver transplantation (LT) in patients with portal vein cavernous transformation (PVCT).
Laparoscopic Versus Open Hernia Repair for Indirect Inguinal Hernia in Adolescents: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The optimal surgical approach for inguinal hernia (IH) repair in adolescents has not been established. This study aimed to analyze and compare the perioperative results and long-term outcomes of adolescent patients with IH treated with laparoscopic (LHR) versus open hernia repair (OHR).
Association Between Adenomyosis and Cervical Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The main purpose of the study was to explore the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of patients with cervical cancer (CC) and adenomyosis and without the latter and to gain insight into the timely association between adenomyosis and CC.
Role of C-Reactive Protein/Lymphocyte and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratios in Predicting Mortality in Patients with Fournier's Gangrene
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a polymicrobial-induced necrotizing fasciitis that affects the deep and superficial tissues of the perineal, perianal, scrotal, and genital regions. This study aimed to investigate the role of C-reactive protein (CRP)/lymphocyte and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, which are objective markers of inflammatory response, in predicting mortality in patients with FG.
Application of Problem-Based Learning Combined with Micro-Video Teaching in Burn Surgery and Its Impact on Satisfaction with Teaching
This article aimed to ascertain the application of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with micro-video teaching in burn surgery teaching and its impact on satisfaction with teaching.
Functional Mechanism and Clinical Implications of lncRNA LINC-PINT in Delayed Fracture Healing
Fracture healing can be impeded or even compromised by various factors, resulting in a growing number of patients suffering. The lncRNA LINC-PINT has garnered attention for its latent role in enhancing fracture healing, but its specific functions in this process remain unclear.
A Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing the Impact of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Gastrointestinal Motility, Nutritional Status, and Immune Function in Patients Following Cerebrovascular Accident Surgery
Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a technique that involves stimulating specific acupoints on the body with electrical currents. It may regulate nerve excitability and improve nerve function. This study aimed to assess the impact of TEAS on gastrointestinal motility, nutrition, and immune function in patients post cerebrovascular accident surgery in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Impact of Treatment Strategies on Survival and Within Multivariate Predictive Model for Renal Cell Carcinoma Based on the SEER Database: A Retrospective Cohort Study
