CONCLUSION The percentage of the most complex and challenging type of ACP (the long, narrow, and narrow-angled ACP) in fetuses was found to be close to adults. Thus, routine adult surgical procedures such as anterior clinoidectomy might be successfully used in young children and infants. The attachment site of OS relative to ACP in adults was more anterior according to fetuses probably due to postnatal development such as the pneumatization of the sphenoid bone. In this regard, for pediatric neurosurgeons to avoid iatrogenic injuries and to select appropriate surgical approaches, further studies conducted on the attachment of OS relative to ACP in children are needed. A Focused Update of the ASAM National Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder is published in the current issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine. The focused update included a search of Medline's PubMed database from January 1, 2014 to September 27, 2018, as well as a search of the grey literature (archives of the Clinical Guideline Clearinghouse, and key agency and society websites) for new practice guidelines and relevant systematic reviews addressing the use of medications and psychosocial treatments in the treatment of opioid use disorder, including within special populations. The search identified 13 practice guidelines and 35 systematic reviews that informed the subsequent RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM) process employed to facilitate the focused update by a National Guideline Committee of addiction experts. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/dx3-213b.html New and updated recommendations were included if they were considered (a) clinically meaningful and applicable to a broad range of clinicians treating addiction involving opioid use; and (b) urgently needed to ensure the Practice Guideline reflects the current state of the science for the existing recommendations, aligns with other relevant practice guidelines, and reflects newly approved medications and formulations.OBJECTIVE Investigate the association between neoadjuvant treatment strategy and perioperative complications in patients undergoing proctectomy for nonmetastatic rectal cancer. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Neoadjuvant SC-TNT is an alternative to neoadjuvant CRT for rectal cancer. Some have argued that short-course radiation and extended radiation-to-surgery intervals increase operative difficulty and complication risk. However, the association between SC-TNT and surgical complications has not been previously investigated. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing total mesorectal excision for nonmetastatic rectal cancer after SC-TNT or CRT between 2010 and 2018. Univariate analysis of severe POM and multiple secondary outcomes, including overall POM, intraoperative complications, and resection margins, was performed. Logistic regression of severe POM was also performed. RESULTS Of 415 included patients, 156 (38%) received SC-TNT and 259 (62%) received CRT. The cohorts were largely similar, though patients with higher tumors (69.9% vs 47.5%, P less then 0.0001) or node-positive disease (76.9% vs 62.6%, P = 0.004) were more likely to receive SC-TNT. We found no difference in incidence of severe POM (9.6% SC-TNT vs 12.0% CRT, P = 0.46) or overall POM (39.7% SC-TNT vs 37.5% CRT, P = 0.64) between cohorts. Neoadjuvant regimen was also not associated with a difference in severe POM (odds ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.04-4.70, P = 0.48) in multivariate analysis. There was no significant association between neoadjuvant regimen and any secondary outcome. CONCLUSION In rectal cancer patients treated with SC-TNT and proctectomy, we found no significant association with POM compared to patients undergoing CRT. SC-TNT does not significantly increase the risk of POM compared to CRT.OBJECTIVE Identify issues that are important to severe trauma survivors up to 3 years after the trauma. BACKGROUND Severe trauma is the first cause of disability-adjusted life years worldwide, yet most attention has focused on acute care and the impact on long-term health is poorly evaluated. METHOD We conducted a large-scale qualitative study based on semi-structured phone interviews. Qualitative research methods involve the systematic collection, organization, and interpretation of conversations or textual data with patients to explore the meaning of a phenomenon experienced by individuals themselves. We randomly selected severe trauma survivors (abbreviated injury score ≥3 in at least 1 body region) who were receiving care in 6 urban academic level-I trauma centers in France between March 2015 and March 2018. We conducted double independent thematic analysis. Issues reported by patients were grouped into overarching domains by a panel of 5 experts in trauma care. Point of data saturation was estimated with condition that demands new approaches to post-discharge and long-term care.OBJECTIVE To answer whether synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases (SLM) should be resected simultaneously with primary cancer or should be delayed. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Numerous studies have compared both strategies. All were retrospective and conclusions were contradictory. METHODS Adults with colorectal cancer and resectable SLM were randomly assigned to either simultaneous or delayed resection of the metastases. The primary outcome was the rate of major complications within 60 days following surgery. Secondary outcomes included overall and disease-free survival. RESULTS A total of 105 patients were recruited. Eighty-five patients (39 and 46 in the simultaneous- and delayed-resection groups, respectively) were analyzed. The percentage of major perioperative complications did not differ between groups (49% and 46% in the simultaneous- and delayed-resection groups, respectively, adjusted OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.35-2.01; P = 0.70, logistic regression). Complications rates were 28% and 13% (P = 0.08, χ test) at colorectal site and 15% and 17% (P = 0.80, χ test) at liver site, in simultaneous- and delayed-resection groups, respectively. In the delayed-resection group, 8 patients did not reach the liver resection stage, and this was due to disease progression in 6 cases. After 2 years, overall and disease-free survival tended to be improved in simultaneous as compared with delayed-resection groups (P = 0.05), a tendency which persisted for OS after a median follow-up of 47 months. CONCLUSIONS Complication rates did not appear to differ when colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases are resected simultaneously. Delayed resection tended to impair overall survival.
