In an established animal model of infection, HAV was significantly less susceptible to bacterial colonization and abscess formation than ePTFE. The preclinical findings presented in this manuscript, combined with previously published clinical observations, suggest that bioengineered HAV may exhibit low rates of infection.

MgSO4 inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-1β upregulation, and pyroptosis. The mechanism is consistent with decreased intracellular calcium levels.

The results of this study demonstrate that AWR is a safe and viable option and can improve wound closure and strength in select patient populations undergoing CRS-HIPEC. AWR is not associated with an increase in mortality or complication rate. Future studies will need larger sample sizes and randomization to identify patient and operative factors t...

These results indicate that modest skin immune/inflammatory processes can enhance distal tumor growth and alter innate tumor immunity. The implication for this work is that, in the presence of a tumor, the benefits of tissue-damaging procedures that occur clinically must be weighed against the potential consequences for tumor biology.

Patients discharged to SNF following vascular surgery have exceptionally high rates of readmission or death at 30 d. Many factors predicting readmission or death potentially modify decision-making around discharge, making early detection, discharge planning, and matching patient needs to SNF capabilities essential to improving outcomes.

Neonatal CO2-pneumoperitoneum does not seem to have any negative impact on neurodevelopment or induce behavioral alterations in adulthood. Minimally invasive surgery results in a central antiinflammatory profile, and further studies on the functional consequences of these phenomena are needed.
