036, P = .003, and P = .004, respectively). The three most reported reasons for missed nursing care were "inadequate number of nursing personnel," "unexpected rise in patient volume or acuity," and "heavy admission or discharge activity".
 
  The findings indicated missed nursing care was common in the PACU and increased in case of ICU overflow patients. Therefore, missed nursing care needs to be identified and minimized, while the number and length of stay of critically ill patients admitted to the PACU should be limited.

On the basis of clinical and pathologic characteristics, 2 different categories of tumors may be defined poorly differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms, characterized by a high rate of recurrences and poor prognosis, and well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (typical carcinoids and atypical carcinoids), which generally display an indolent course. Lung carcinoids represent only 1% to 5% of all lung malignancies, but their incidence has significantly increased over the past 30 years. Surgery is the reference standard of treatment for lung carcinoids with locoregional disease. For advanced or unresectable lung carcinoids, several therapeutic options are available, but the choice should be shared within a multidisciplinary team to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. We describe the current management of these rare neoplasms.
  Pirfenidone is an anti-fibrotic agent approved for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and long-term treatment data and the effect of continuation after disease progression have been reported. The efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients without IPF have been recently reported in clinical trials; therefore, the benefits of long-term treatment are also expected. This study aims to analyze the long-term treatment data of pirfenidone and clarify the predictive factors for long-term use of pirfenidone in non-IPF patients.
 
  We retrospectively reviewed the records of consecutive fibrosing ILD patients who started using pirfenidone between 2008 and 2014.
 
  Of the 266 fibrosing ILD patients, 167 patients had IPF, and 99 had non-IPF. Despite the non-significant differences in body size and pulmonary function between IPF and non-IPF patients, the non-IPF patients had better overall survival than the IPF patients (median 4.06 years vs. 2.09 years, p<0.0001). In addition, the non-IPF patients had a significantly longer time to treatment discontinuation than the IPF patients (median 2.20 years vs. 1.20 years, p=0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis for ≥2 years of use of pirfenidone showed that the percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) and age were predictive factors common to both IPF and non-IPF patients.
 
  Our results indicate that non-IPF patients can continue using pirfenidone for longer durations than IPF patients. Initiation of pirfenidone for fibrosing ILD patients with higher %FVC and younger age would lead to long-term use of pirfenidone.

  Evidence for the risk and incidence of anticonvulsant-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in Japan is scarce.
 
  We conducted a matched case-control study using a large-scale Japanese claims database. SJS/TEN cases were identified using a claims-based algorithm developed in a previous study (sensitivity 76.9%, specificity 99.0%). Conditional logistic regression with Firth's bias correction to address an issue of rare events was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for SJS/TEN for each anticonvulsant use (90 days before the index date) versus non-use. 90-day cumulative incidence of SJS/TEN per 100,000 new users was calculated for 33 anticonvulsants. Causality between anticonvulsant use and SJS/TEN in each exposed case was assessed using the algorithm of drug causality for epidermal necrolysis (ALDEN) score.
 
  From 5,114,492 subjects, we selected 71 SJS/TEN cases and 284 controls. We observed significantly increased ORs for SJS/TEN among new users of carbamazepine (OR 68.00) and lamotrigine (OR 36.00) with ALDEN scores of "probable" or higher. Cumulative incidence of SJS/TEN was 93.83 for carbamazepine and 84.33 for lamotrigine. One case newly exposed to phenytoin which developed SJS/TEN was rated "unlikely" in ALDEN causality, resulting in cumulative incidence of 66.27. Cumulative incidence of SJS/TEN was 25.23 for levetiracetam, 7.52 for clonazepam, and 1.23 for diazepam, but their ALDEN scores were "very unlikely".
 
  This study is the first to document the differential risk of SJS/TEN for anticonvulsants in a real-world setting in Japan. Exposure to carbamazepine and lamotrigine was associated with an increased risk of SJS/TEN.

  No prospective randomized trials comparing transection techniques for the liver parenchyma transection during laparoscopic liver resection have been performed. The aim of the study was to compare the immediate outcomes of hydro-jet dissection with ultrasonic surgical aspirator in laparoscopic liver parenchyma transection in a prospective randomized single-center study.
 
  Consecutive patients with liver benign and malignant tumors presenting to a single center from May 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled in the study. The primary endpoint was the intraoperative estimated blood loss. The secondary endpoints included duration of parenchymal transection, morbidity, and overall hospital stay.
 
  A total of 68 patients were enrolled in the study, with 34 patients in each group. There were no differences between groups in the difficulty of resection (according to IWATE criteria and IMM score) and other basic surgical parameters. No differences were found in all primary and secondary endpoints except the expenditure. The cost of equipment was significantly higher in the group of ultrasonic aspirator.
