Preoperative BOLD cerebrovascular reactivity correlates with intraoperative STA-MCA bypass flow and influences postoperative CVR improvement.

INTRODUCTION: The superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) flow augmentation bypass is effective for treating Moyamoya vasculopathy and selected cases of atherosclerotic large vessel disease. Recently, blood oxygen level-dependent cerebrovascular reactivity (BOLD-CVR) has emerged as a novel tool to assess hemodynamic impairment for patient selection and monitoring. This study i...

Comparison of short- and long-term outcomes for robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy in elderly patients with gastric cancer: a multicenter cohort study.

BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence from large-scale multicenter studies regarding the short- and long-term efficacy of robotic gastrectomy (RG) in elderly patients diagnosed with gastric cancer (GC). As such, this retrospective investigation compared short-term outcomes and long-term oncological prognoses of RG versus (vs.) laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in a representative sample of this popula...
