Abstract Benign mediastinal tumor is usually asymptomatic and exhibits uncomplicated clinical course. Posterior schwannoma common, but a huge benign causing acute respiratory failure due to mass effect unusual. We present patient who suffered from improved after en bloc surgical resection. A 56-year-old woman had no history of systemic disease, experienced general discomfort malaise for several months. She was referred our emergency department developing sudden failure. Intubation performed...
Few reports on the outcomes of patients treated for Stanford type A acute aortic intramural haematoma (TAAIMH) and retrograde thrombosed dissection exist. This study aimed to evaluate their long-term results predictors adverse outcomes.We retrospectively analysed 40 with TAAIMH dissection. All underwent urgent surgery presentation life-threatening complications. Before discharge, 18 open surgery, 22 were medical therapy alone. Clinical features these image appearances reviewed, relationship...
Visual Abstract Export Background and objectives There is increasing evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of neointima formation. However, translational role miRNAs dialysis vascular access limited. Design, setting, participants, & measurements miRNA expression tissues was assessed by using venous harvested from ten patients on who received revision or removal surgery, were predialysis creation surgery arteriovenous fistulas served as controls. To extend...
Computed tomography (CT) has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome, and a number high-risk CT imaging features have reported. We aimed to identify findings suggesting for syndrome by examining clinical outcomes patients with type A intramural hematoma (TAIMH).This retrospective study analyzed relationship patient characteristics mortality events 63 receiving initial medical treatment TAIMH. Multivariate regression analysis was determine predictors events,...
Abstract Objectives Esophagectomy after chemoradiotherapy is associated with an increased risk of surgical complications. The significance preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte in predicting pulmonary complications following radical esophagectomy esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the utility chemoradiotherapy. Methods retrospectively reviewed 111 consecutive stage III who received followed by...
Lymphadenectomy plays a crucial role in the surgical management of early- stage esophageal cancer. However, few studies have examined lymphadenectomy outcomes advanced stages, particularly patients who initially underwent concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This retrospective study investigates effect diagnosed with AJCC 8th-edition clinical III squamous cell carcinoma received preoperative chemoradiation.
For locally advanced esophageal cancer, definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with a radiation dose of 50-50.4 Gy/25-28 Fx is prescribed, followed by adjuvant esophagectomy for better local control or salvage treatment if locoregional recurrence occurs. However, injury before surgery may delay wound healing. We performed cervical anastomosis directly inside the left supraclavicular fossa (SCF), irradiation target cancer. The significance in patients anastomotic leak (AL) remains...
Abstract COVID-19 infection in recipients of lung transplants could be lethal owing to the immunosuppressant agents. Antiviral agents should administered these patients. Co-packaged nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is a new agent that used combination with antiviral medications. Here, we report case high serum tacrolimus concentration and hyponatremia after co-packaged administration.
Abstract Objectives Early-stage esophageal cancer is treated using endoscopic submucosal dissection and esophagectomy. Field cancerization in patients with early-stage affects treatment outcomes causes synchronous or metachronous head neck cancers. We hypothesized that esophagectomy could provide better overall recurrence-free survivals cancer. Methods retrospectively identified early squamous cell carcinoma separated the into groups to compare survivals. Results The study included 106...
: Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare cause of pulmonary nodules that occurs when uterine leiomyomas metastasize to the lung. The management these lesions varies from resection and hysterectomy nonsurgical treatments such as hormonal therapy. Herein we report 60-year-old patient with diffuse variant size lung mimicing metastatic malignancy.
: Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) represents an extremely rare type of pseudotumor that appears most commonly in children and young individuals. It remains controversial whether IMT is a reactive lesion or true neoplasm with malignant potential. The treatment choice for surgery, recurrence known to be rare. Herein we report 71-year-old patient initial presentation solitary lung pleural effusion. Pathology confirms the diagnosis pulmonary IMT. Aggressive recurrent diffuse...
Abstract Background: Esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgery is the main treatment but involves high risk of complications. Some surgical strategies have tried to eliminate Our meta-analysis find benefits single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) inflation. Methods : A systematic search studies on esophagectomy and CO inflation was conducted using PubMed, Medline, Scopus. The odds ratio post-operative pulmonary complications anastomosis leakage were...
