In recent years, there has been a significant increase in scientific productivity—an increased number of published original articles, reviews, short communications, case reports, and letters to the editor. In this regard, there is a large number of peer-reviewed journals in all fields of scientific knowledge, including in the field of biomedical sciences. Many studies indicate the existence of so-called journal editorial board bias and acknowledge the difficulty of eliminating it. We present our brief opinion on an important topic such as how publishing policy in some peer-reviewed journals leads to feelings of bias and inequality among authors and how to address this.

We have read with interest the study of Yalcin, et al., titled “Short- and Long-Term Outcomes of Thoracoscopic and Open Repair For Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula”, in which they published their esophageal atresia experiences [1]. The article by Yalcin et al. provides a comprehensive analysis of the short- and long-term outcomes of thoracoscopic versus open repair in patients with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). This retrospective cohort study, encompassing two decades of data, offers valuable insights into the efficacy and safety of these surgical techniques. The authors' data cover the years 2000-2020. Although recent meta-analyses have not shown significant results regarding anastomotic stricture and anastomotic leak, they recommend preserving the azygos vein to reduce the risk of pneumonitis. I would like to ask the authors whether they have preserved the azygos vein in cases since 2020? It appears from the study that, up until 2020, the azygos vein was transected in all patients. Although the authors have discussed long-term outcomes, the study does not report on “musculoskeletal anomalies after EA repair,” a topic that has recently gained significant attention. Studies by Aubert et al. [2], Borselle et al. [3], and Hattori et al. [4] have reported lower rates of scoliosis in the thoracoscopic (TR) group. Similarly, these studies found significantly lower rates of rib deformity in the TR group. Our unpublished meta-analysis revealed that the TR group had a significantly lower scoliosis rate compared to the conventional open repair (COR) group (I2 ¼ 36%) (RR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.84; p ¼ 0.02). The overall scoliosis rates in the TR and COR groups were 3.1% and 16%, respectively (Fig. 1). Additionally, our unpublished meta-analysis found that the TR group had significantly lower rib deformity rates compared to the COR group (I2 ¼ 0%) (RR: 0.05, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.25; p ¼ 0.0002). The overall rib deformity rates were 0% in the TR group and 41.5% in the COR group (Fig. 2). I would like to ask Yalcin et al. whether they have evaluated long-term musculoskeletal complications, such as scoliosis and rib deformity, which are quite common after thoracotomy. If they have, publishing their data would provide valuable evidence and contribute to a more rigorous meta-analysis on this subject.

USE OF DESFLURANE: CONSIDERATIONS AND CONTROVERSIES
(Department of Anaesthesia and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, R.N. Macedonia, 2024)
;
;
Desflurane stands as a pivotal volatile anesthetic in contemporary anesthesia practice and has been a cornerstone of modern anesthesia practice due to its rapid onset and offset of action. Despite its clinical advantages, the environmental footprint of desflurane, characterized by significant greenhouse gas emissions, has sparked a debate on its continued use and potential regulatory measures. This article evaluates desflurane’s clinical benefits, alongside its environmental implications, offering insights into possible regulation perspectives. Highlighting its favorable pharmacokinetic properties, rapid induction, hemodynamic stability and bronchodilator effects, against its contribution to climate change, the study aims to foster a balanced discourse on desflurane’s role in healthcare, advocating for a harmonization of clinical needs with ecological stewardship.
