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.

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.

Linear metrics for ventricular volume play a large role in the rapid, approximate evaluation of ventricular volume. In this article, we automatically extract linear measures of ventricular volume to explore their correlation with lateral ventricular volume (LVV) in the healthy adult population and comprehensively define normal values. ⋯ ALVI is a newer index with strong correlation with LVV and has strong potential for clinical use. Both FOHR and ER show moderate correlation with LVV. Reference values for linear estimates of ventricular volume may help clinicians better identify patients with pathological ventriculomegaly.

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.
