Multicenter Study Observational Study
Safety and Efficacy of Management for Intraprocedural Rupture During Endovascular Treatment for Intracranial Aneurysms.
Although intraprocedural rupture (IPR) is rare, it is a devastating complication of endovascular treatment (EVT) for intracranial aneurysms. Very few studies have been conducted on IPR, and the safety and efficacy of management techniques of IPR have not been investigated. ⋯ Although the setting of IPR may be miscellaneous, and optimal management varies depending on individual cases, heparin reversal might be associated with ischemic complications, and its role in the successful hemostasis in IPR during EVT for ruptured aneurysms remains unclear.

Meta Analysis
Surgeon Gender and Early Complications in Elective Surgery: A Systematic Review and meta-analysis.
To examine the association between surgeon gender and early postoperative complications, including 30-day death and readmission, in elective surgery. ⋯ These results support that surgeon gender is not associated with early postoperative outcomes, including mortality, readmission, or other complications in elective surgery. These findings encourage patients, health care providers, and stakeholders not to consider surgeon gender as a risk factor for postoperative complications.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
A Meta-Analysis of Medication Reduction and Motor Outcomes After Awake Versus Asleep Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease.
There remains significant debate regarding the performance of deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures for Parkinson disease (PD) under local or general anesthesia. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical outcomes between "asleep" DBS (general anesthesia) and "awake" DBS (local anesthesia) for PD. ⋯ There was no significant difference in the primary motor outcomes and LEDD improvement between asleep vs awake DBS. The variables of target selection and MER use had no statistically significant impact on outcome. We find that asleep techniques are both safe and effective compared with the awake technique.

To delineate how identity-based bias exposure evolves with rank and/or context among health care workers, and assess their attitudes toward existing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) education. ⋯ Identity and context strongly influence both clinicians' exposure and ability to respond to bias in the hospital environment, independent of seniority. Existing DEI training fails to account for this nuance, ultimately diminishing its utility to clinicians.

Observational Study
A Pilot Study Using Machine Learning Algorithms and Wearable Technology for the Early Detection of Postoperative Complications After Cardiothoracic Surgery.
To evaluate whether a machine-learning algorithm (ie, the "NightSignal" algorithm) can be used for the detection of postoperative complications before symptom onset after cardiothoracic surgery. ⋯ Machine-learning analysis of biometric data collected from wearable devices has the potential to detect postoperative complications-before symptom onset-after cardiothoracic surgery.
