Health-related quality of life (HRQL) contains many aspects of patients’ health such as physical, psychological, social functioning and a general well-being. Progress in renal transplantation and im munosuppressive therapies have increased significantly in recent decades, resulting in allograft survival rates at one year is now over 90%. Numerous clinical trials have established the impor tance of quality of life in a variety of diseases, and it is extremely popular to evaluate quality of life in clinical trials as a measure of patients’ subjective state of health. The purpose of the study was to identify factors associated with quality of life after renal trans plantation

1.1. Objectives: To screen out sensitive chemotherapy regimens for cancer stem cells (CSCs) from colorectal cancer (CRC) pa tients in northeast Sichuan of China and provide the basis for “re gional precision” targeted therapy

Tendon saving stapedotomy is a delicate surgical technique which saves stapedius tendon while removing anterior and posterior crua of stapes. Preserving the incus-stapes tendon alignment during op eration might give a chance to human’s protective mechanism to recover acoustic reflex, which has a protective effect from baro trauma. Also, there are few more known benifits for tendon sav ing, such as improvement in noise filtering, stabilization of incus during prosthesis insertion and preservation of blood supply to distal incus.

We present the case of a patient involved in a multiple-vehicle ac cident with massive thoracoabdominal trauma who was admitted to a Social Security specialized trauma center in Mexico City. He went through a very complicated postoperative course, including abdominal burst with evisceration, two low-output enterocutane ous fistulas (ECFs) and a central venous line-associated infection. Daily application of C.P.Z.O was carried out in the sites of infec tion. A substantial improvement of the abdominal septic ECF was achieved with the daily application of C.P.Z.O and strict wound care measures.

1.1. Background: Amyloidosis are rare diseases related to the pathological aggregation and accumulation of misfolded proteins in the extracellular space generating insoluble deposits. This may occur in almost any tissue and organ, leading to severe structural damages and functional impairments. Oral manifestations are fre quent in systemic amyloidosis and represent 9% of the localized forms.

NSCLC patients who had sensitive EGFR mutation had great pos sibility to get benefit from EGFR-TKIs. But this efficacy was re lied on related EGFR mutation, if related EGFR mutation changed, resistance would happened. In our report, we did next generation sequencing(NGS) each time the patient had progression.

This is a brief commentary to our article “Defecation delay in pa tients after lung tumor surgery: a prospective nested case-control study” [1]. The author Chen used to be a resident and rotate in different departments of surgery and find that discomfort related to defecation is quite common in patients receiving various opera tion under general anesthesia. Even operations not associated with gastrointestinal tract like thyroidectomy may develop a need for laxatives though patients recovered quickly after the procedure. However, this problem is usually not fully appreciated and just a few studies focused on it.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Its association with Pulmonary Atresia is considered to be the most severe form, the diagnosis of which plays an import ant role in determination of the treatment protocol. In such cases, systemic vascular channels called Major Aortopulmonary Collat eral Arteries (MAPCA’s) develop from aorta and its major branch es to supply and maintain the pulmonary circulation. Such patients commonly undergo a Cardiac CT as an imperative pre-operative investigation for detailed information of these collaterals which helps plan further management.

Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) infection mainly present severe pneumonia associ ated with complications related to cytokine storm syndrome. So, it was associated with thrombotic incidents like acute limb ischemia and pulmonary embolism.

Residents are predisposed to develop distress, burnout, and de pression. With COVID-19, new stressful working conditions were imposed. This study aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 on residents’ wellbeing in France.
