    Abstract Recent advances in identifying residue-residue contacts from large multiple sequence alignments have enabled impressive gains to be made in the field of protein structure prediction. In this chapter, we discuss these advances and provide a step-by-step guide to applying the latest tools to the de novo modelling of alpha-helical transmembrane proteins. As a practical example, we demonstrate the process of building an accurate 3D model of a G protein-coupled receptor, correctly orientated in the membrane, using only its primary protein sequence.

    Abstract Background: Locoregional recurrence (LR) remains a problem for patients with lower rectal cancer despite standardized surgery and improved neoadjuvant treatment regimens. Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) has been routine practice for some time in the Orient/East, but other regions have concerns about morbidity. As perioperative care and surgical approaches are refined, this has been revisited for selected patients. The question as to whether LPLND improves oncological outcomes was explored here.
    Methods: A systematic review of patients who underwent TME with or without LPLND from 2000 to 2020 was performed. The primary endpoint was the rate of LR between the two groups.
    Results: Seven papers met the predefined search criteria in which 2000 patients underwent TME alone, while 1563 patients had TME and LPLND. The rate of LR was marginally higher with TME alone when compared with TME plus LPLND, but this result was not statistically significant (9.8 vs 9.4%, odds ratio 0.75, 95% CI 0.41-1.38, *p = 0.35). In addition, four studies reported on distant recurrence rates, with TME and LPLND showing a slight reduction in overall rates (27.3 vs 29.9%, respectively, OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.45-0.92, *p = 0.02).
    Conclusion: The addition of LPLND to TME is not associated with a significantly lower risk of LR in patients who undergo surgery for lower rectal cancer.

    Abstract Pneumothoraces may occur rarely in coronavirus (COVID-19) patients, often resulting from a combination of fibrotic parenchymal changes and prolonged high-pressure ventilation. Very few studies have been published describing the management of pneumothorax in the novel COVID-19 pneumonia patients. Although chest drain insertion represents the first line of treatment, a persistent pneumothorax and air leak requiring intervention could be managed by a thoracoscopic procedure or, as is the case here, by endobronchial valve insertion. Endobronchial valve insertion is a minimally invasive technique that provides a treatment option in patients with severe parenchymal COVID-19 related lung disease. As far as the authors are aware this is the first report of the use of endobronchial valves in a COVID-19 patient.

    Abstract Background: Chyle leakage is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication following esophageal resections. The optimal management strategy is not clear, with a limited evidence base.
    Methods: Searches were conducted up to 31 December 2020 on MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science for randomized trials or retrospective studies that evaluated the management of chyle leakage following esophageal resection. Two authors independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed for bias. The protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD: 42021224895) and reported in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines.
    Results: A total of 530 citations were reviewed. Twenty-five studies, totaling 1016 patients met the inclusion criteria, including two low-quality clinical trials and 23 retrospective case series. Heterogeneity of study design and outcomes prevented meta-analysis. The overall incidence of chyle leak/fistula was 3.2%. Eighteen studies describe management of chyle leaks conservatively, 17 by surgical ligation of the thoracic duct, 5 by pleurodesis, and 6 described percutaneous lymphangiography with thoracic duct embolization or disruption.
    Conclusions: The evidence base for optimal management of chyle leakage postesophagectomy is lacking, which may be related to its low incidence. There is a paucity of high-quality prospective studies directly comparing treatment modalities, but there is some low-certainty evidence that percutaneous approaches have reduced morbidity but lower efficacy compared with surgery. Further high-quality, prospective studies that compare interventions at different levels of severity are needed to determine the optimal approach to treatment.
