    Abstract Background: Around 5-20% of patients who undergo surgery for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), which invades into the muscularis propria or beyond, have peritoneal carcinomatosis. The peritoneal recurrence rate is 10-54%, which is associated with a poor prognosis. The role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in AGC with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis is not clearly defined.
    Methods: The authors conducted a meta-analysis, in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, of the clinical trials and high-quality nonrandomized studies evaluating the role of HIPEC in AGC over the last 10 years. The studies were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases between January 2011 to December 2021. Clinical data including overall survival, recurrence free survival, overall recurrence rate, peritoneal recurrence rate, and complications analyzed using RevMan 5.4.
    Results: Six randomized controlled trials and 10 nonrandomized studies, comprising a total of 1700 patients were included. HIPEC was associated with significantly improved OS at 3 [odd ratio (OR) 1.89, 95% CI: 1.17-3.05] and 5 years (OR 1.87, 95% CI: 1.29-2.71). HIPEC was associated with reduced overall recurrence (OR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.31-0.80) and peritoneal recurrence (OR 0.22, 95% CI: 0.11-0.47). HIPEC was not associated with increased complications. The occurrence of postoperative renal dysfunction was significantly higher in the HIPEC group (OR 3.94, 95% CI: 1.85-8.38).
    Conclusion: The role of HIPEC in AGC has evolved over the past decade. HIPEC may improve survival rates and reduce recurrence rates in patients with AGC, without significant increase in complications and with a favorable impact on 3 and 5-year survival.

    Abstract Distal duodenal obstruction (DDO) can be succinctly defined as features of gastric outlet obstruction with bilious vomiting and radiological or endoscopic evidence of post-bulbar obstruction. Obstructions of the third (D3) and fourth (D4) parts of the duodenum are rare and present significant diagnostic and surgical challenges, particularly when the cause is malignant. In the following three case reports, we discuss three distinct aetiologies of this rare syndrome and highlight important considerations surrounding the early investigation and management of these individuals. The first patient is a 60-year-old lady with primary duodenal adenocarcinoma resulting in malignant stricture at D4. She underwent segmental resection of the D4 tumour with a duodeno-jejunal anastomosis. The second patient is a 17-year-old boy with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, who was treated conservatively. The last patient is a 71-year-old lady with a caecal carcinoma invading the retroperitoneal structures and D3. The patient underwent a palliative laparoscopic gastro-jejunostomy. Although infrequently encountered in clinical practice, the individual burden of a missed or late diagnosis of DDO, malignant or otherwise, can be disastrous. This case series illustrates the varied presentation of DDO and discusses current principles of investigation and management.

    Abstract Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent illness associated with Diabetes which, if left untreated, can result in irreversible blindness. Deep Learning based systems are gradually being introduced as automated support for clinical diagnosis. Since healthcare has always been an extremely important domain demanding error-free performance, any adversaries could pose a big threat to the applicability of such systems. In this work, we use Universal Adversarial Perturbations (UAPs) to quantify the vulnerability of Medical Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for detecting DR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first attempt that works on attacking complete fine-grained classification of DR images using various UAPs. Also, as a part of this work, we use UAPs to fine-tune the trained models to defend against adversarial samples. We experiment on several models and observe that the performance of such models towards unseen adversarial attacks gets boosted on average by $3.41$ Cohen-kappa value and maximum by $31.92$ Cohen-kappa value. The performance degradation on normal data upon ensembling the fine-tuned models was found to be statistically insignificant using t-test, highlighting the benefits of UAP-based adversarial fine-tuning.

    Abstract Bouveret syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction. It is characterised by the presence of an obstructing gallstone in the pylorus or proximal duodenum, which has travelled to its obstructing position via an acquired fistula. Our case involves a 73-year-old man presenting to the acute surgical take with a 2-day history of right-sided abdominal pain and vomiting. His medical history included perforated cholecystitis treated with antibiotics and percutaneous gall bladder drainage, 1 year earlier. Examination and blood tests were suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction. CT abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a large gallstone obstructing the duodenum, confirming a diagnosis of Bouveret syndrome. The patient improved following gastrolithotomy, and was discharged 2 weeks postoperatively. Fistula formation is a complication of chronic cholecystitis and therefore Bouveret syndrome should be considered in patients with a background of gallstone disease presenting with gastric outlet obstruction.

    Abstract A drug substance intermediate synthesis involving a Mitsunobu coupling reaction using triphenylphosphine and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate was investigated to understand the variable levels of an impurity. One of the precursors for the impurity, 1,2-isopropylhydrazine dicarboxylate (a reaction byproduct), crystallizes out of the reaction medium and also forms a cocrystal with triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), another reaction byproduct. The dynamic byproduct concentrations as a result of these phenomena were taken into account in a reaction kinetics model. The variability in impurity formation was linked to the concentration of 1,2-isopropylhydrazine dicarboxylate, which is dependent on reaction progress and 1,2-isopropylhydrazine dicarboxylate–TPPO cocrystal formation. The cocrystal formation is in turn affected by the mixing characteristics in the reactor. Computational fluid dynamics simulation of the mixing patterns and a series of proof-of-concept experiments were performed to establish the influence of mixing intensity and cocrystal formation on the level of impurity formed.

    Abstract Background: Common day case laparoscopic procedures are usually safe, with low rates of bleeding complications. At our trust, most patients undergo pre-operative group and save (G&S) for these procedures, at a cost of £18.39 per sample excluding laboratory staffing costs. Our aim was to assess if routine G&S is indicated.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIH) and diagnostic laparoscopy (DL) in our institution between April 2012 and March 2014. Patients were identified using hospital coding records. Transfusion department records were reviewed to see which patients had undergone pre-operative G&S or cross-match, and peri-operative transfusion.
    Results: Five hundred and thirty-two procedures were performed in 2 years: 293 LC, 123 LIH and 116 DL. G&S was performed in 256 (87 %; LC), 67 (54 %; LIH) and 88 (76 %; DL), respectively. Zero patients were transfused for bleeding complications. One patient was transfused following diagnostic laparoscopy to optimise pre-existing anaemia. The total cost of G&S over the study period was £7558.
    Conclusion: Blood transfusion rates for bleeding complications following laparoscopic day case surgery are 0 % in our unit. G&S samples for these procedures cost £7558 over 2 years. Abandoning pre-operative G&S for these patients appears to be clinically indicated and would lead to substantial financial savings.

    Abstract Background. With the increase in bariatric surgery in the UK, there has been a substantial increase in patients undergoing massive weight loss (MWL) seeking postbariatric body-contouring (bariplastic) surgery. However, there is a wide variation of availability on the National Health Service (NHS). Aims. To (1) review the funding policies of Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in England for bariplastic surgery and (2) analyse the number of procedures funded in two consecutive financial years. Methods. We sent out questionnaires to all PCTs in England regarding their funding policies for bariplastic surgery and requested the number of procedures funded in 2008-09 and 2009-10. Findings. 121/147 (82%) PCTs replied to our questionnaires. 73 (60%) excluded all bariplastic procedures. 106/121 (87.6%) PCTs had referral guidelines for plastic surgery. 46/121 (38%) PCTs provided the total number of funded abdominoplasty-apronectomy (A-A) in the two financial years: total number of A-A applicants rose from 393 to 531, but approval for funding fell from 24.2% to 19.6%. Only 3 (2%) PCTs indicated increase in their future spending on bariplastic procedures in the next 5 years, with 67% planning to decrease or unsure about future funding. Conclusion. There exists a postcode lottery for bariplastic surgery in England and we feel the need for guidelines on provision of bariplastic procedures following MWL.

    Abstract Background: Complications following esophagectomy are a significant source of morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the early identification of complications following esophagectomy, as compared to other routinely available parameters.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy at a single centre. Baseline characteristics and complications occurring within the first 30 days of surgery were recorded. White blood cell counts and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels immediately following surgery (day 0) and over the subsequent three postoperative days were analysed.
    Results: Sixty-five patients were included, of whom 29 (45 %) developed complications. The median NLR was similar among patients with and without a complicated recovery on day 0 (12.7 vs 13.6, p = 0.70) and day 1 (10.0 vs 9.3, p = 0.29). Patients who subsequently developed complications had a higher NLR on day 2 (11.8 vs 7.5, p < 0.001) and day 3 (9.0 vs 6.5, p = 0.001) compared to those whose recovery was uncomplicated. Receiver-operating-characteristic plots for the diagnostic performance of the NLR, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and CRP level at each time point demonstrated that the NLR on day 2 had the greatest discriminatory ability in predicting complications, with an area under the curve of 0.83 (95 % CI 0.73-0.94). An NLR of >8.3 on day 2 had a sensitivity of 93 % and a specificity of 72 % for predicting complications.
    Conclusion: The NLR is a simple and routinely available parameter which has a high sensitivity in the early detection of complications following esophagectomy.

    Abstract Abstract Background Lung cancer is known to metastasize to the pancreas with several case reports found in the literature, however, most patients are at an advanced stage and receive palliative treatment. Case presentation We describe the case of a 56 year old male patient who presented with a picture of obstructive jaundice. Investigations revealed an obstructing lesion in the pancreas and a further lesion in the lung with benign appearances. The patient underwent a pancreatectomy and, unexpectedly, the histology of the resected specimen demonstrated metastatic adenocarcinoma of bronchogenic origin. He was referred to a cardiothoracic team who proceeded to resect the patient's thoracic lesion before administration of adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient was reviewed 18 months post operatively and remains symptom free with no clinical or radiological evidence of recurrence. We were unable to identify any previous case reports (of lung adenocarcinoma) with such a presentation which were ultimately treated with resection of both lesions. Conclusion Similar situations are bound to arise again in the future and we believe that this report could demonstrate that there is a case for aggressive surgical management in a highly selected group of patients: those with NSCLC and a synchronous solitary pancreatic deposit.
