Review Meta AnalysisHemodynamic Impact of the Trendelenburg Position: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
To systematically evaluate the impact of the Trendelenburg position on hemodynamic parameters in adult patients. ⋯ The Trendelenburg position significantly increases stroke volume and improves multiple hemodynamic parameters in adult patients. These results confirm the position's potential clinical relevance in hemodynamic management and suggest the possibility of a tailored application in selected clinical settings. The duration of the beneficial effects of the Trendelenburg position and the possible side effects should be the focus of further investigation.

Meta Analysis
Use of muscular ultrasound to detect intensive care unit-acquired weakness: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.
Background : This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to detecting performance of muscular ultrasound for intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW). Methods : We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases for articles published before July 2024. A random-effects model was utilized to derive the summary estimates of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). ⋯ Furthermore, integrated analysis of these two indicators revealed that the cross-sectional area of rectus femoris was statistically superior to the thickness of rectus femoris, with higher sensitivity (0.82 [95%CI 0.74-0.87] vs. 0.75 [95%CI 0.65-0.83], P < 0.05) and AUC (0.91 [95%CI 0.88-0.93] vs. 0.80 [95%CI 0.76-0.83], P < 0.01). Conclusions : Muscular ultrasound could be a reliable tool for ICUAW detection. Compared with alternative indices, the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris exhibits superior detection efficacy and may be considered as a valuable parameter for clinical application.

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious pathological process with high mortality. Ferroptosis is pivotal in sepsis, whose regulatory mechanisms in sepsis-induced ARDS remains unknown. We aimed to determine key ferroptosis-related genes in septic ARDS and investigate therapeutic traditional Chinese medicine. ⋯ Conclusions: Ferroptosis-related genes of IL1B , MAPK 3, and TXN serve as potential diagnostic genes for sepsis-induced ARDS. Sea buckthorn may be therapeutic medication for ARDS. This study provides a new direction for septic ARDS treatment.

Full Robotic Whole Graft Liver Transplantation: A Step Into The Future.
To report the first European series of full robotic whole liver transplantation (RLT) with technical details and future perspectives. ⋯ RLT is a promising technique to further reduce the impact of liver transplantation thanks to smaller incision, gentle tissue manipulation, high magnification and precision for vascular and biliary anastomosis, and reduced postoperative pain. This is the first step toward the demonstration of the feasibility of minimally invasive surgery in liver transplantation, although further selection and technical refinements are needed to improve reproducibility.
