    Abstract Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is the mainstay surgical treatment of oesophageal achalasia and has proven to be safe and effective over the course of time. Oesophageal perforation after myotomy can be a serious complication with devastating outcomes. Most commonly, mucosal perforation are detected intraoperatively or early postoperatively. We present an extremely rare case of late oesophageal perforation in a 28-year-old man treated with laparoscopic Heller myotomy for type II oesophageal achalasia, and its successful minimally invasive repair with laparoscopic primary suturing.

    Abstract Endometrial cancer is a commonly diagnosed gynecological malignancy presenting an increasing incidence worldwide. The immune response plays a crucial role in the mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis and the progression of tumors. In recent times, there has been a discernible surge in the acknowledgment of the importance of programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) in evading the immunological response of the host and promoting the growth of malignancies. The primary aim of this review is to consolidate the existing corpus of evidence pertaining to the role of PDL1 in the etiology and progression of endometrial cancer and investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the expression of PDL1 in cells impacted by endometrial cancer. Finally, the association between PDL1 expression and clinical outcomes, as well as the potential therapeutic uses of targeting the PDL1 pathway are being analyzed.

    Abstract The influence of carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions on the electrical properties and noise signal amplitude of VOx films is investigated. For a critical range of the CNT dispersion density on VOx films, the intrinsic properties of the VOx films are modified by the CNTs. The CNT concentrations reported in this work are about 0.3 μg/cm2 and 1.6 μg/cm2, allowing for low density and high density dispersions on the VOx film surface to be investigated. These values are higher than the percolation threshold of about 0.12 μg/cm2 for these films. The composite film exhibits a significant reduction in the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) (from ≈3.8% K-1 to ≈0.3% K-1) for high density dispersions. In contrast, while VOx-CNT composites with low density single wall CNT dispersions exhibit no significant change in TCR values, an approximate two orders of magnitude reduction in the low frequency 1/f noise is measured. The noise signal amplitude measured at 0.1 V and at 1.0 Hz reduces from 6 × 10-5V/(Hz) for VOx films to 5 × 10-7V/(Hz) for the low density SWCNT dispersion on VOx film and to 3 × 10-6V/(Hz) for the low density MWCNT dispersion on VOx film. The CNT concentration is the critical factor for yielding the observed changes in conductivity and low frequency noise. The results presented in this work provide a better understanding of VOx-based composites, thereby enabling the development of new, versatile and functional materials for device applications.

    Abstract Lung herniation is a rare entity, defined as a protrusion of the lung above the normal confines of thorax; it is caused by increased intrathoracic pressure and defects or weakness of the chest wall. Intercostal lung hernia can occur spontaneously or following thoracic trauma or surgery. Postoperative hernias are more commonly associated with less extensive surgical procedures, such as thoracoscopic surgery or mini-thoracotomy incisions, rather than with major thoracic procedures. We describe the first reported case of postoperative intercostal lung hernia following two-stage totally minimally invasive oesophagectomy for cancer, together with its successful surgical repair.

    Abstract Utilization of totally minimally invasive esophagectomy for cancer is on the rise. Esophagogastric anastomosis is mechanically or robotically performed routinely; little report exists of hand-sewn esophagogastric anastomosis. This is the largest so far study with thoracoscopic hand-sewn esophagogastric anastomosis during fully minimally invasive two-stage esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in prone position. Consecutive two-stage totally minimally invasive esophagectomies for cancer were performed by one surgical team, from September 2016 to March 2019. All operations were technically identical in terms of patient positioning, surgical approach, extend of lymphadenectomy and type of anastomosis formed. Primary end points were anastomotic leak and anastomotic stricture rate, while secondary end points were 30-day and 90-day mortality rates. From the overall n = 80 patients, n = 67 were males, while n = 13 were females. Mean age was 64.6 years. Mean length of stay was n = 14 days. There were no conversions to open. Mean operating time was 420 minutes with no blood loss over 200 mL noted. Pulmonary and cardiac complication rate was 23.75% and 2.5%, respectively. Anastomotic leak rate was 2.5%. Anastomotic strictures were seen in 12.5% of cases. 30-day and 90-day mortality rate was 2.5% and 5%, respectively, with none accounted for ischemic conduit complications. Intrathoracic anastomosis in totally minimally invasive esophagectomy is challenging and accountable for most of the mortality associated with the procedure. In thoracoscopic two-stage esophagectomy, a mechanical anastomosis is usually preferred; this is believed to be due to the complexity of manual anastomosis associated with the thoracoscopic approach. We aim to present our series of completely hand-sewn intrathoracic anastomosis utilizing a totally minimally invasive approach with favorable outcomes. With this study, reproducibility of the anastomosis is shown that can potentially favor a change in the practice of esophageal surgeons worldwide.

    Abstract A reliable, scalable, and inexpensive technology for the fabrication of ordered arrays of metal nanoparticles with large areal coverage on various substrates is presented. The nanoparticle arrays were formed on aluminum substrates using a two-step anodization process. By varying the anodization potential, the pore diameter, inter-pore spacing, and pore ordering in the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template were tuned. Following a chemical etch, the height of the pores in the AAO membrane were reduced to create a dimpled membrane surface. Periodic arrays of metal nanoparticles were subsequently created by evaporating metal on to the dimpled surface, allowing for individual nanoparticles to form within the dimples by a solid state de-wetting process induced by annealing. The ordered nanoparticle array could then be transferred to a substrate of choice using a polymer lift-off method. Following optimization of the experimental parameters, it was possible to obtain cm2 coverage of metal nanoparticles, like gold and indium, on silicon, quartz and sapphire substrates, with average sizes in the range of 50-90 nm. The de-wetting process was investigated for a specific geometry of the dimpled surface and the results explained for two different film thicknesses. Using a simple model, the experimental results were interpreted and supported by numerical estimations.
