Although the standard therapy for advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is systemic chemotherapy, the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab (atezo+bev) with a high objective response rate may lead to conversion to resection in patients with initially unresectable HCC. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of atezo+bev in achieving conversion surgery and prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) for initially unresectable HCC.

Physiotherapist-led (PT-led) orthopaedic triage is an evolving model of care for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Objectives for this study were to establish the current evidence body on the impact of PT-led orthopaedic triage on health, quality, and service outcomes for patients referred for orthopaedic consultation, compared with standard (orthopaedic surgeon) care.

Our study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and survival rates following porous tantalum rod surgery (PTRS) and conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) subsequent to failed PTRS. Methods: A total of 38 subjects (40 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) were included in this retrospective study between January 2008 and December 2011.

To evaluate the role of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of intrahepatic biliary stones, an area that is not well-studied. Subjects and methods: A descriptive crosssectional, retrospective study was carried out on a total of 56 patients. Results: 56 patients with intrahepatic biliary stones underwent laparoscopic surgery. The average age was 54.1 ± 12.17. The number of patients with biliary stones in over 2 segments of liver was 62.5%. The average time of operation was 145 ± 20.37 minutes. The average time of exploration of bile duct was 61.52 ± 33 minutes.

Many animals respond to a hot environment by resorting to an increased respiration rate and in some cases to open-mouth panting. Respiration rates in the camel increase very little with increase in ambient heat load and the respiratory route, probably, is a very minor source of water loss. In addition, camels are able to exhale unsaturated air under some conditions. The combination of cooling and desaturation can result in saving 60% of the water that would be present in fully saturated air exhaled at body temperature.
