Combined pancreatic and vascular resections are increasingly performed for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We evaluated the outcomes after pancreatectomy with non-vascular resection (NVR), venous resection (VR), and arterial resection (AR). ⋯ Pancreatectomy with AR was not associated with worse oncological outcomes when controlling for perioperative therapy. However, AR was associated with higher 90-day mortality rates. Patient selection is crucial when performing AR in patients with PDAC.

Impact of Chronic Hepatitis C Virus on Acute Kidney Injury After Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications after liver transplantation (LT) and can significantly impact outcomes. The presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection increases the risk of AKI development. However, the impact of HCV on AKI after LT has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of HCV on AKI development in patients who underwent LT. ⋯ The presence of HCV was associated with increased risk for the development of AKI, 1-year mortality, and graft failure after LT.

Injuries caused by terrorism attacks are one of the urgent problems of the society and the health system. In this work, we aimed to assess the injury severity score (ISS) and trauma injury severity score (TRISS) in Tunisian military combatants injured during terrorism attacks. ⋯ Injury severity scores and TRISSs showed a high reliability to predict the mortality rate in Tunisian victims of terrorism.

To examine the early effects of the financial incentive (FI) implemented in April 2022 in Japan for surgeries within 48 h after hip fracture (HF) in patients aged 75 and older on expedited HF surgery (EHFS), in-hospital mortality, perioperative morbidity, length of stay (LOS) and inpatient medical expenses (IMEs). ⋯ This study suggested that there was no significant, short-term effect of the FI for surgeries within 48 h after HF on any of the outcomes of interest.
