The aim of the study was to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing the three surgical approaches for Stage I-III CRC resection. This study enrolled 688 patients with Stage I-III CRC undergoing curative resection. The primary endpoints were perioperative quality and outcomes. The secondary endpoints were oncological outcomes including disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and local recurrence (LR). Patients undergoing LAS had significantly less blood loss (P < 0.001), earlier first flatus (P = 0.002) and earlier resumption of normal diet (P = 0.025). Although post-operative complication rates were remarkably higher in patients undergoing CL than in those undergoing MITs (P = 0.002), no difference was observed in the post-operative mo...

However, studies concerning about the impact of non-apnea sleep disorders (NSD) on diabetes control and metabolic outcomes are relatively scarce. Our aim is to investigate the impact of non-apnea sleep disorders (NSD) on diabetic control and associated metabolic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. The data were obtained from two nationwide population-based databases for a period 2007 to 2012. A total 66,992 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled and divided into two cohorts based on comorbidity with or without a NSD diagnosis, and were followed up four years. The primary outcomes were to compare rate of change in HbA1c and associated metabolic outcomes during follow-up visits between patients with or without NSD. The secondary outcome is to examine whether NSD were associated with poor glycemic control of the last clinical reco...
