Summary: A study on an Asian trauma population found that psoas muscle index is significantly higher in males and decreases with age. Cut-off values for extremely low psoas muscle index (ELPMI) were established, and ELPMI was identified as an independent risk factor for a longer length of intensive unit stay.

Summary: Successful replantation and revascularization of the hand and digit require a skilled team with access to an operating room with microsurgical capabilities. Postoperative management also plays a vital role in the survival of a replanted digit. Previous research has mainly focused on surgical techniques, with limited studies evaluating postoperative care protocols.

Summary: This study reviewed the literature on self-inflicted amputations in the upper extremity and provided recommendations for their acute management. The findings showed that patients with psychiatric disorders who underwent replantation expressed satisfaction with the procedure. Surgeons should not consider psychiatric decompensation a contraindication to replantation and should seek assistance from the psychiatry team in cases where patients refuse or are not competent to make decisions.

Summary: This study evaluated the elastic properties of commonly used vascular substitutes for pulmonary artery replacement and compared their compliance and stiffness indexes to human pulmonary artery. The results showed that allogenic arterial grafts appeared to be the most suitable vascular substitutes in terms of compliance and stiffness for PA replacement.

Summary: There is no significant difference in adverse respiratory events between intubated, critically ill patients requiring operative intervention who are kept NPO for 6 hours or longer compared to those kept NPO for less than 6 hours. Patients commonly experience periods of fasting much longer than the recommended 6-hour period by the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of early and late enteral feeding after PEG placement on achieving nutritional therapy goals and adverse outcomes. The results showed that patients with early initiation of feeds achieved a higher percentage of goals on day 0 without an increased rate of adverse events.

Summary: This study aimed to understand postoperative pediatric nutrition practices in Kenya and the United States. The results showed that in the United States, patients initiated enteral nutrition earlier and had shorter hospital stays. However, in Kenya, patients initiated enteral nutrition earlier but had no significant difference in hospital stays.

Summary: Pathologic upstaging is associated with decreased overall survival in cT1b esophageal cancer. Esophagectomy has better survival outcomes compared to endoscopic local tumor excision. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy does not improve overall survival in cT1b lesions.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from elderly individuals and young adults in treating pressure ulcers (PUs). The results showed that PRP from young adults had higher platelet concentrations and greater production of growth factors, leading to better wound healing.

Summary: Introduction: Prescription opioids, including those prescribed after surgery, have greatly contributed to the US opioid epidemic. Educating opioid prescribers is a crucial component of ensuring the safe use of opioids among surgical patients. This study implemented an annual education curriculum for new surgical prescribers, resulting in significant improvements in knowledge and comfort levels. However, there remains a persistent knowledge and comfort gap among these prescribers.

Summary: This pilot study examined the effects of a structured mental fitness program on academic surgeons and found significant improvement in Positive Intelligence (PQ) scores, as well as increased connectedness and shared language among participants. However, there were no significant changes in sleep, well-being, or teaching evaluations.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of using humanized anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibodies conjugated with near-infrared dyes to specifically label gastric cancers in mouse models. Orthotopic models showed bright and specific labeling with more than ten times higher tumor-to-background ratios compared to the control. This tumor-specific fluorescent antibody has promising potential as a clinical tool for improving visualization of gastric cancer margins during surgical resection.

Summary: This scoping review analyzed the literature on the use of broadband personality tests in the bariatric surgical population to optimize weight loss outcomes. The study found significant associations between personality scales and weight loss, but inconsistent reporting of outcome measures made it challenging to draw concrete conclusions. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery recommends standardization of outcome reporting to improve the reliability of predicting weight loss outcomes.
