Abstract	End-stage cancer patients frequently suffer from idiopathic sweating of unknown cause. This study was to evaluate the effect (primary endpoint) of modified Yu Ping Feng San on idiopathic sweating and adverse reactions (secondary endpoint). Thirty two end-stage cancer patients receiving hospice care, with exclusion criteria including sweating due to known causes and taking drugs which may affect the sweating threshold were enrolled. Patients received modified Yu Ping Feng San for 10 consecutive days. The quantitative measurement of sweating showed 26 patients (81.3%) had complete remission of sweating, and the average time required to reach 50% reduction was 4.6 days. The visual analog scale (VAS) sweating score estimated by patients and care-givers showed that the mean reductions were 8.4 and 9.1 points, respectively. An increase in appetite was experienced by 65.6% of patients, after administration of modified Yu Ping Feng San. The most prevalent treatment-related complications were nausea (15.6%), diarrhea (9.3%) and allergy (3.1%) without severity greater than grade 2, and these were reversible after cessation of treatment. These results suggest that modified Yu Ping Feng San is a safe and effective treatment for idiopathic sweating of unknown cause in end-stage cancer patients.

Abstract	Colonoscopy is crucial in preventing colorectal cancer (CRC) and reducing associated mortality. This comprehensive review examines the importance of high-quality colonoscopy and associated quality indicators, including bowel preparation, cecal intubation rate, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate (ADR), complete resection, specimen retrieval, complication rates, and patient satisfaction, while also discussing other ADR-related metrics. Additionally, the review draws attention to often overlooked quality aspects, such as nonpolypoid lesion detection, as well as insertion and withdrawal skills. Moreover, it explores the potential of artificial intelligence in enhancing colonoscopy quality and highlights specific considerations for organized screening programs. The review also emphasizes the implications of organized screening programs and the need for continuous quality improvement. A high-quality colonoscopy is crucial for preventing postcolonoscopy CRC- and CRC-related deaths. Health-care professionals must develop a thorough understanding of colonoscopy quality components, including technical quality, patient safety, and patient experience. By prioritizing ongoing evaluation and refinement of these quality indicators, health-care providers can contribute to improved patient outcomes and develop more effective CRC screening programs.

Abstract	Background: Split anterolateral thigh flap is a versatile reconstruction option, yet long underestimated as no practical perforator classification and no optimal strategy were present. Harvesting "capillary nonsizable perforators" could potentially expand flap splits to those with no existing multiple sizable perforators. Concerns over defect characteristics, recipient vessels, pedicle length, and split timing should all be weighted equally in designing the suitable flap. Refinement is thus required to enable precise reconstructions. Methods: All patients undergoing anterolateral thigh flap harvests between 2014 and 2021 performed by a single surgeon were included. The perforator patterns of sizable pedicle, course, origin, and further successful flap-split methods were documented. Surgical outcome of flap survival was analyzed. Results: Anatomical variants of 134 (48.4%) dual, 123 (44.4%) single, and 20 (7.2%) no sizable perforators were found in a total of 277 anterolateral thigh flaps. The overall flap survival rate was 97.5%. Flap split was performed in 82 flaps, including 29 single and 5 no sizable perforator cases previously considered "unsplittable," by utilizing a series of direct skin paddle split, capillary nonsizable perforators harvesting, and flow-through anastomosis technique. Comparable flap survivals were found between split and nonsplit flaps as well as between split segments supplied by sizable and capillary nonsizable perforators. Primary closure was achieved in 98.9% of the thigh donor sites. Conclusion: A new classification of the common anterolateral thigh flap anatomical variants was proposed and a comprehensive algorithm of split flap strategy was developed along with the innovative "fabricate" concept.

Abstract	Pharyngocutaneous fistula is a serious complication after head and neck reconstruction and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, yet no consensus or practical protocols regarding the surgical timing and specific procedures could be found in the current literature. The authors aimed to review their clinical experience in surgical management and develop an algorithmic approach accordingly. A retrospective review of all hypopharyngeal cancer patients who developed pharyngocutaneous fistula during 2017 to 2021 at E-Da Hospital was conducted. Seventeen patients developed pharyngocutaneous fistula in all 321 pharyngeal cancer admissions during this period. Three patients received interventions at acute stage (≤2 weeks), with two direct repairs Three patients received interventions at acute stage (≤2 weeks), with two direct repairs and one regional flap coverage then negative pressure wound therapy. Nine received interventions at subacute stages (2 weeks to 3 months), with 4 resolved after debridement and direct repair yet another 4 underwent regional flap reconstruction and 1 free flap reconstruction. Five chronic fistula (>3 months) received secondary reconstructions utilizing a double-layered repair of local turn-over flaps for the internal mucosal opening and another flap harvest (four regional flaps and one free flap) to cover the outer skin defect. All patients after the palliative surgery achieved complete remission of fistula at follow follow-up. Different conservative and surgical approaches should be adopted according to the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of pharyngocutaneous fistula after palliative head and neck reconstructions.

Abstract	Introduction: Adrenal tumors are relatively common, and adrenalectomy is the third most common endocrine surgery. Patients with adrenal tumors were categorized into two groups for analysis: those with intermediate (4-6 cm, Group 1) and large (>6 cm, Group 2) tumors undergoing Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy (RLA). The primary outcome is to compare the surgical outcomes between these two groups. The secondary outcome involves analyzing the relationship between tumor characteristics and the incidence of adverse events. Methods: Data from 76 patients who underwent RLA for tumors of size ≥4 cm between 2005 and 2022 at a single tertiary referral center were analyzed retrospectively. Variables, including patients' age, hormone function, operation time, conversion to open approach, perioperative complications, and adverse surgical events (blood loss >500 cc, conversion to open approach, and perioperative complications), were assessed. Results: No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of functional and histopathologic analysis, gender distribution, functioning factors, perioperative complications, and estimated blood loss. However, patients in Group 2 were younger (median age 50, IQR: 40-57, Conclusions: RLA is a safe and feasible procedure for adrenal tumors larger than 6 cm. While intraoperative and postoperative complications are not significantly increased in either group, larger tumors increase surgery times and are more likely to require conversion to open surgery. Therefore, caution and preparedness for potential adverse events are recommended when dealing with larger tumors. A tumor size of 5.3 cm may serve as a guide for risk stratification and surgical planning in large adrenal tumor management.
