Question: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of season of diagnosis on the outcome of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). In this study, we included curatively treated DLBCL (n = 5875) and HL (n = 1693) patients, diagnosed between 2000 and 2011, based on data from the Swedish Lymphoma Register.', 'Overall survival was significantly better for patients diagnosed with DLBCL during the summer months, but not for patients diagnosed with HL. The difference remained in a multivariable analysis adjusted for age, stage, performance status, number of extra nodal sites and year of diagnosis (HR 1.08; 95% CI 1.02-1.14, P = 0.0069). When analyzing the DLBCL patients according to gender in the multivariable model, the effect of season was shown to be restricted to male patients (HR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.17, P = 0.0269.

Question: Organ/space surgical site infections (OSIs) constitute an important postoperative metric. We sought to assess the impact of a previously described air leak test (ALT) on the incidence of OSI following major hepatectomies.', 'A single-institution hepatobiliary database was queried for patients who underwent a major hepatectomy without biliary-enteric anastomosis between January 2009 and June 2015. Demographic, clinicopathologic, and intraoperative data-including application of ALT-were analyzed for associations with postoperative outcomes, including OSI, hospital length of stay (LOS), morbidity and mortality rates, and readmission rates.', 'Three hundred eighteen patients were identified who met inclusion criteria, of whom 210 had an ALT. ALT and non-ALT patients did not differ in most disease and treatment characteristics, except for higher rates of trisegmentectomy among ALT patients (53 vs. 34\xa0%, p\u2009=\u20090.002). ALT patients experienced lower rates of OSI and 90-day morbidity than non-ALT patients (5.2 vs. 13.0\xa0%, p\u2009=\u20090.015 and 24.8 vs. 40.7\xa0%, p\u2009=\u20090.003, respectively). In turn, OSI was the strongest independent predictor of longer LOS (OR\u2009=\u20094.89; 95\xa0% CI, 2.80-6.97) and higher rates of 30- (OR\u2009=\u200932.0; 95\xa0% CI, 10.9-93.8) and 45-day readmissions (OR\u2009=\u200929.4; 95\xa0% CI, 10.2-84.6).

Question: The short cold ischemic tolerance of the gut is a major problem in small bowel transplantation. We have shown that intestinal lipid administration is beneficial during systemic inflammation like sepsis.', 'Rats were intestinally infused with either water or 1% olive oil for 12 hours. The small bowel was removed and stored in HTK solution on ice. At t = 0, t = 60, t = 120, t = 180, t = 240, t = 300, t = 360, t = 420, and t = 480 minutes, a tissue sample of the gut was fixed, stained, and analyzed by three independent observers. Damage score was calculated (0 = no damage, 1 = minor damage, 2 = major damage, 3 = loss of structure) for integrity of the mucosa, integrity of the basal membrane of the mucosa, and integrity of villy. The damage score was allocated when all three observers agreed on the same or a higher damage score.', 'In all control animals minor damage for the integrity of the basal membrane occurred within 60 minutes, but in only 50% of the lipid-treated rats. In all control rats, major damage for both integrity of mucosa and villi occurred within 300 minutes or less, but only in 50% of the lipid-treated rats. In all control rats, the structure of the villi was completely lost within 480 minutes or less, whereas only 50% of the lipid treated animals reached maximal damage scores for either mucosa or villi.
