Randomized Controlled Trial
Collaborative Team Training in Virtual Reality is Superior To Individual Learning For Performing Complex Open Surgery: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
To assess whether multiplayer immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) training was superior to single-player training for the acquisition of both technical and nontechnical skills in learning complex surgery. ⋯ Multiplayer training leads to faster surgery with fewer technical errors and the development of superior nontechnical skills.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Robotic Lobectomy is Cost-Effective and Provides Comparable Health Utility Scores to Video-Assisted Lobectomy: Early Results of the RAVAL Trial.
The aim of this study was to determine if robotic-assisted lobectomy (RPL-4) is cost-effective and offers improved patient-reported health utility for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer when compared with video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy (VATS-lobectomy). ⋯ Early results of the RAVAL trial suggest that RPL-4 is cost-effective and associated with comparable short-term patient-reported health utility scores when compared with VATS-lobectomy.

Omics Signatures of Tissue Injury and Hemorrhagic Shock in Swine.
Advanced mass spectrometry methods were leveraged to analyze both proteomics and metabolomics signatures in plasma upon controlled tissue injury (TI) and hemorrhagic shock (HS)-isolated or combined-in a swine model, followed by correlation to viscoelastic measurements of coagulopathy via thrombelastography. ⋯ The current study provides a comprehensive characterization of proteomic and metabolomic alterations to combined or isolated TI and HS in a swine model and identifies early and late omics correlates to viscoelastic measurements in this system.
