#ColorectalCancer liver metastasis detection timing—synchronous vs early or late metachronous—was not independently associated with overall survival after adjustment, supporting treatment planning guided by tumor burden and treatment feasibility.

Postpancreatectomy-specific complications account for nearly half of in-hospital deaths after pancreatoduodenectomy. The long intervals between onset and mortality highlight opportunities to prevent failure to rescue. https://t.co/GvTRBkB7Gj

Our @MayoCancerCare Enterprise paper is finally out!

1,446 pts w “upfront resectable” PDAC.

Any vein abutment portended ⬇️OS, but this diff was mitigated when NAT was used.

⬆️aggressive vein resections didn’t change OS.

Time to redefine resectability?

Patients with end-stage liver disease who had a potential living donor experienced a 26% reduction in waitlist dropout and 35% reduction in mortality risk from the time of listing. https://t.co/Yh3T4oLGn1

✂️ How to determine resectability of locally advanced pancreas cancer?!

🎯 Suitable target is a disease-free arterial or venous segment above and below the tumor involvement

👷 “Reconstructability” is based on expertise and tumor biology 🧬

@nyulangone @theliversurgeon Above all, I'm grateful for those two for enduring the journey with me and the sacrifices they make.. and looking forward to a new experience for the whole crew

[Wasfi Alrawashdeh @Walrawashdeh]

Settling down in #NYC for my fellowship in HPB and liver transplant surgery at @nyulangone, all things complex livers and locally advanced pancreas surgery, complex robotic surgery and much more.

[Wasfi Alrawashdeh @Walrawashdeh]

@nyulangone Grateful to Dr. Karim Halazun @theliversurgeon , Dr Christopher Wolfgang, Dr Robert Montgomery and the rest of an amazing team for the opportunity ! Looking forward to what the rest of the year brings

The human obsession with immortality or another life is fascinating...But then maybe the Pharaohs were onto something there .. They somehow continue to live and, they must feel vindicated

@RohanGujjuri @RCSnews @MarkarSheraz @EwenGriffiths @Jonny_M_Clarke Well done Rohan, congratulations 👏

[Wasfi Alrawashdeh @Walrawashdeh]

Wow, this is a great story !

[Wasfi Alrawashdeh @Walrawashdeh]

Thank you 🙏
Definitely one of my pet peeves, people think giving a 40mmol of k in a bag of fluid will correct hypokalemia !!
The way I remember it: 200-400mmol of k to raise serm level by 1.0
AND
IV supp can't beat sandok if tolerated, unless in a big vein in ICU!

[Keith Siau @drkeithsiau]

A reminder that, to correct hypokalaemia, 100mmol of K+ is needed for every 0.3mmol⬇️in serum K+ (normally 3.5-5.0) ∴

✳️ 3.2-3.5 = 100 mmol ⬇️
✳️ 2.9-3.2 = 200 mmol ⬇️
✳️ 2.6-2.9 = 300 mmol ⬇️
✳️ 2.3-2.6 = 400 mmol ⬇️

⚠️
Sando K = 12 mmol K+
2x Sando K TDS = 72mmol K+

For change, I'm enjoying the wait for the cardiothoracic long assessment at retrieval, I get to follow the @roux_group meeting in the coffee room 🤓
