Increase in Trigeminal Nerve Cross-Sectional Area on Immediate Postoperative MRI Predicts Favorable Outcome After Microvascular Decompression for Classical Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Although distortion or indentation of a trigeminal nerve due to neurovascular compression (NVC) is associated with classical trigeminal neuralgia, whether morphological change in the trigeminal nerve is relieved by eliminating NVC has not been studied.

Cryoablation in 350 Nuss procedures: Evolution of hospital length of stay and opioid use.

Current studies show cryoablation decreases opioid requirements and lengths of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. This study evaluated the relationship between cryoablation and clinical outcomes for the Nuss procedure.

Sputnik V vaccine-related complications and its impression on inflammatory biomarkers in healthcare providers.

The current pandemic made scientists create new platforms of vaccines to fight against SARS-CoV-2. Without a doubt, the new forms of present vaccines could develop a diversity of unknown complications. Sputnik V vaccine with two different adenovirus vectors (Ad26 priming and Ad5 boost) was first announced safe and effective by Russia. However, there are controversies surrounding this vaccine such as the possible decline of its immunogenicity and diminished neutralizing capacity against some Covid-19 variants. In addition, its impression on serum biomarkers is not clearly surveyed. The present study aimed to evaluate the frequency of Sputnik V vaccine-related complications and its impression on inflammatory and hematologic biomarkers.

Efficacy and safety profile of two-dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in cancer patients: An observational study in China.

The new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has produced a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting in modifications to public health policies on a universal scale. SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has evolved as the most effective and secure way for protecting healthy individuals against COVID-19. Patients with cancer were excluded from clinical trials due to their increased COVID-19 risk and current immunosuppressing therapy. Safety and effectiveness evidence is insufficient for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in cancer patients.

Surgical intervention for acute pancreatitis in the COVID-19 era.

Approximately 15%-19% of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections develop gastrointestinal symptoms. Acute pancreatitis (AP) has been reported in 0.1% of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Biliary AP was most common (78.4%) before the COVID-19 pandemic; idiopathic AP is most common in patients with COVID-19 (up to 57.1%). The number of emergency department presentations decreased by 23.3% during the pandemic and many governments made national recommendations to delay nonurgent endoscopic procedures, leading to decrements of 22% in combined esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy and 20% in EGD after the COVID-19 pandemic. The symptoms and signs of COVID-19-related AP are fever (63%), abdominal pain (58%), respiratory symptoms (40%), nausea and vomiting (39%), and headache (4%). Approximately 5-10% of patients develop necrotizing or hemorrhagic AP, and patients who required surgical intervention had a higher mortality risk. Compared to 2019, the rates of elective surgery decreased by 41.8% in 2020; including cholecystectomy (40.1% decrease) and pancreas (111.1% decrease). Surgical volumes also decreased by 18.7% in 2020; device-assisted laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures reduced by 45.4% and 61.9% during the COVID-19 Lockdown in 2020.

Low-grade duodenal eosinophilia is associated with cagA in Helicobacter pylori related dyspepsia.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a multifactorial disorder. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) related dyspepsia (HpD) may be considered a separate entity. Duodenal eosinophilia is a potential pathogenic mechanism in FD. However, the impact of duodenal eosinophilia and H. pylori virulence genes in HpD was not explored.

Detection of increased intracranial pressure in trans-oral robotic thyroidectomy using optic nerve sheath diameter measurement.

During transoral robot-assisted thyroidectomy, there is a risk of increasing intracranial pressure because the site of CO insufflation is narrow and close to the brain.
