Summary: In this study, the researchers used the retina as a model to investigate the process of death and neuronal revival in the central nervous system. They found that under certain conditions, postmortem mouse and human retinas can revive synchronous in vivo-like trans-synaptic transmission. They also identified modifiable factors that drive reversible and irreversible loss of light signalling after death.

Summary: The study found a direct association between adjusted hospital TOO rates and survival after high-risk cancer procedures. TOO can be used as a valid hospital metric to compare the overall quality of cancer care across hospitals.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between the nasal microbiome and infectious outcomes in surgical patients. The findings suggest that the nasal microbiome may serve as an independent risk factor associated with infection susceptibility in individuals who undergo elective surgical procedures.

Summary: A comprehensive understanding of non-surgical and surgical procedures is crucial for minimizing complications and maximizing the benefits for patients. Individuals with darker skin and high Fitzpatrick phototype are more susceptible to pigmentation disorders, which may be treated or arise as a complication of aesthetic procedures. A group of experts in cosmetic surgery and dermatology reviewed literature and provided practical recommendations for optimizing outcomes and supporting skincare before, during, and after procedures. Broad-spectrum sunscreen, supportive skincare, and adjunctive skincare with healing and anti-inflammatory properties are key in preventing and improving pigmentation disorders.

Summary: Both sham surgery and unilateral nephrectomy in mice resulted in increased mTORC1/2 and suppressed autophagic flux in the remaining kidney, accompanied by an intense systemic inflammatory response. Additionally, there was a significant increase in ERK1/2 in the kidney, which could be blocked by MEK1/2 inhibitor trametinib.

Summary: The study examined the correlation between aspects of surgical intensity and postoperative opioid prescribing, finding that as surgical intensity increased, both the initial opioid prescription and refill rates also increased. This suggests that aspects of surgical intensity could serve as a guide for procedures lacking guidelines based on patient-reported outcomes.

Summary: There is a bidirectional relationship between climate change and health care, as health care contributes to climate change and climate change threatens public health. However, the environmental costs associated with health care are often overlooked and there is a lack of global awareness and guidance on sustainable surgical practices.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the utilization of surgery in Danish children aged 0-5 years from 1999 to 2018. The results showed that the overall incidence of surgical procedures did not increase during this period. It was also found that boys underwent more surgery than girls, and the rate of surgery decreased in public hospitals but increased in private specialist practices among children with severe chronic disease.

Summary: A study of 77 laparoscopic colorectal surgeries found a glove perforation rate of 1.1%, with no significant correlation between the duration of surgery and glove perforation. There was also no significant connection found between glove perforation and postoperative surgical site infections.

Summary: Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasitic protozoa transmitted by infected sandflies, affecting over 1 billion people worldwide. The successful vaccination procedure known as leishmanization, which has been used in the Middle East for decades, is no longer practiced due to safety and ethical concerns. New genome editing technologies may allow for the development of a second generation leishmanization that could enter human trials.

Summary: This study found that sharp count errors in cardiac procedures are associated with increased team turnover, non-first start cases, and weekend cases. These errors may be indicative of other mistakes and lead to higher in-hospital mortality rates. Strategies to reduce team turnover and improve hand-offs may help decrease sharp count errors and improve patient outcomes.

Summary: Balancing between chemical and biological functionality is crucial to achieve injectability in hydrogels through specific crosslinking pathways, while maintaining cell compatibility. With the emergence of new injectable biosynthetic materials, their impact in cell therapy and bioprinting is becoming increasingly significant.
