Breath Testing in the Surgical Setting: Applications, Challenges, and Future Perspectives
Published in European Surgical Research
Background: The potential for exhaled breath to be a valuable diagnostic tool is often overlooked as it can be difficult to imagine how a barely visible sample of breath could hold such a rich source of information about the state of our health. However, technological advances over the last 50 years have enabled us to detect volatile organic compou...
The Introduction of an MR-Conditional Prototype for Cardiopulmonary Bypass Support: Technical Aspects and System Require...
...
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP; also known as a heart-lung machine) in newborns with complex congenital heart defects may result in brain damage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments cannot be performed safely because the metal components used to construct CBP devices may elicit adverse effects on patients when they ar...
Expression Levels of MicroRNA-300/BCL2L11 in Papillary Thyroid Cancer and Their Clinical Diagnostic Values
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: This research aims to explore the expression levels of microRNA (miRNA)-300/BCL-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11) and their values in the clinical diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods: Pathological tissues that were surgically removed for thyroid disease were selected. miR-300 and BCL2L11 expression levels in the samples wer...
Clinical Validation of the Comprehensive Complication Index in a Pancreaticoduodenectomy Cohort
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: Although the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) is the most widely utilized method for quantifying surgical complications, it fails to properly capture all events. To address this, the comprehensive complication index (CCI) was introduced. The purpose of this study was to compare the CCI and CDC as predictors of postoperative length o...
Effects of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Loading on Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Postoperative Complications followi...
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: Preoperative carbohydrate oral (CHO) drinks attenuate the surgical stress response; however, the effects of CHO supplementation on the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an inflammatory and immunology-based predictor remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of preoperative CHO loading on NLR values and complications follo...
Time-Related Evidence of Intestinal Oxidative Stress in Obstructive Jaundice-Induced Rats
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: Obstructive jaundice is known to affect intestinal permeability and facilitate bacterial translocation through related mechanisms. This study was conducted to evaluate the alterations concerning blood biochemistry and levels of several markers of oxidative stress (OS) in blood and intestinal mucosa caused by obstructive jaundice and h...
Rapamycin Does Not Act as a Dietary Restriction Mimetic in the Protection against Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: Short-term fasting protects against renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). mTOR signaling is downregulated and may be involved in its protective effect. Rapamycin is considered a possible mimetic as it inhibits the mTOR pathway. This study examines the effect of rapamycin on renal IRI. Material and Methods: Mice were divided into fo...
Analysis on Efficacy of Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy with or without Lenvatinib for Unresectable Hepatocellular ...
Published in European Surgical Research
Introduction: For patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is a common and mature treatment, but the safety and efficacy of HAIC combined with lenvatinib for advanced HCC patient treatment remains unclear. Therefore, this study compared the safety and efficacy of HAIC with or without lenvati...
