Multicenter StudyPeri-implant fractures after Intramedullary fixation for femoral trochanteric fracture: a multicenter (TRON Group) study.
With the rise in elderly populations, the incidence of femoral trochanteric fractures has also increased. Although intramedullary nail therapy is commonly used, the incidence of peri-implant fractures (PIFs) as a complication and its associated factors are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of PIFs and treatment strategies and outcomes. ⋯ Therapeutic Level IV.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of high-dose selenium on mortality and postoperative organ dysfunction in post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock patients supported with mechanical circulatory support - A post-hoc analysis of the SUSTAIN CSX trial.
Cardiac surgery, post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS), and temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) provoke substantial inflammation. We therefore investigated whether a selenium-based, anti-inflammatory strategy would benefit PCCS patients treated with tMCS in a post-hoc analysis of the sustain CSX trial. ⋯ In this explorative study, a perioperative high-dose selenium-supplementation did not show beneficial effects on organ dysfunctions and mortality rates in patients with PCCS receiving tMCS.

Development and validation of machine learning models to predict postoperative infarction in moyamoya disease.
Cerebral infarction is a common complication in patients undergoing revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease (MMD). Although previous statistical evaluations have identified several risk factors for postoperative brain ischemia, the ability to predict its occurrence based on these limited predictors remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of machine learning algorithms for predicting cerebral infarction after revascularization surgery in patients with MMD. ⋯ This study indicates the usefulness of employing machine learning techniques with routine perioperative data to predict the occurrence of cerebral infarction after revascularization procedures in patients with MMD.

Reoperative Total Arch Replacement after Previous Cardiovascular Surgery: Outcomes in 426 Consecutive Patients.
Total aortic arch replacement (TAR) after previous cardiovascular surgery is technically challenging and is becoming more frequent as outcomes for primary arch repair have improved. primary. We analyzed outcomes of reoperative compared with first-time TAR. ⋯ Reop TAR is a technically challenging operation and is associated with increased operative mortality and adverse events. Gratifying results can be obtained with meticulous surgical planning and focused attention on end-organ protection. Late reinterventions occur in a significantly greater percentage of patients undergoing reop TAR, and future studies should focus attention on identifying those at-risk groups who may benefit from a more aggressive index procedure.

Risk of pulmonary complications after video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection in children.
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Children are more susceptible to PPCs owing to smaller functional residual capacity and greater closing volume. Risk factors of PPCs in children undergoing lung resection remain unclear. ⋯ Male sex, longer OLV duration, less surgeon's experience, and lower PEEP were risk factors of PPCs in children undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Our findings may serve as targets for prospective studies investigating specific ventilation strategies for children.
