Outcomes after surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) have not been studied in patients with multiple and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We hypothesized that SSRF, as compared nonoperative management, is associated favorable outcomes TBI.A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was performed TBI between January 2012 July 2019. Patients who underwent SSRF were to those managed nonoperatively. The primary outcome mechanical ventilation-free days. Secondary intensive care unit length...
The diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) using radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) remains challenging without navigation systems. Cone-beam computed tomography-derived augmented fluoroscopy (CBCT-AF) represents a recently developed technique, and its clinical utility to be investigated.The aim this study was investigate the transbronchial biopsy (TBB) combination CBCT-AF EBUS.We recruited consecutive patients with PPLs who underwent EBUS-guided TBB, or AF, between...
Literature on outcomes after SSRF, stratified for rib fracture pattern is scarce in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI; Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12). We hypothesized that SSRF associated improved as compared nonoperative management without hampering neurological recovery these patients. A post hoc subgroup analysis of the multicenter, retrospective CWIS-TBI study was performed TBI and by having sustained a non-flail or flail chest between January 1, 2012 July 31, 2019....
The timing of surgical stabilization rib fractures remains controversial. We hypothesized that early (within 3 days injury) can improve clinical outcome in patients with severe and respiratory failure. aim this study was to analyze the impact on perioperative results, outcomes, medical costs failure.This a retrospective comparative based prospectively collected database at single institute. Patients failure who underwent were classified into late (more than after groups. Outcome measures...
In video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection of small lung nodules, preoperative dye marking around the visceral pleura provides surface localization to help initiate resection, while implantation a fiducial marker such as microcoil can provide inner aid nodule under fluoroscopic guidance. We aimed determine whether dual with placement and is safe useful for guiding deep-seated nodules. retrospectively evaluated data pertaining 39 consecutive patients (40 nodules) managed between...
Virtual assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) is a bronchoscopic marking technique developed to assist in navigational resection. It can be used for nodule localization and segmental identification. This article presents our initial experience of thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy using combined VAL-MAP computed tomography (CT)-guided localization.Markings with India Ink were made bronchoscopically, before surgery, virtual bronchoscopy system (LungPoint® Planner) without fluoroscopy guidance....
Cone-beam computed tomography-derived augmented fluoroscopy (CBCT-AF) for use in guiding endobronchial dye marking of small pulmonary nodules prior to thoracoscopic surgery is still under development. We sought evaluate the effect cumulative experience on procedural parameters CBCT-AF-guided preoperative localization nodules. Clinical variables and treatment outcomes 30 initial patients with who were managed followed by resection our institution analyzed. Two sequential groups (group I group...
There are few reports regarding a lung or diaphragm trapped by fractured rib. This study aimed to describe the clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of these intrathoracic pathologies. We retrospectively reviewed database at our institute for patients with rib fractures who underwent thoracoscope-assisted surgical stabilization fracture (SSRF). analyzed demographic data, mechanism trauma, operative findings, subsequent strategies. A total 38 consecutive SSRF were analyzed. Three...
The presence of six or more rib fractures a displaced fracture due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been associated with longer hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length stay (LOS). Evidence on the effect surgical stabilization (SSRF) following CPR is limited. This study aimed evaluate outcomes after SSRF versus nonoperative management in patients multiple CPR.An international, retrospective was performed who underwent for between January 1, 2012, July 31, 2020. Patients were...
Bronchoscopic lung mapping is a multispot dye-marking technique, which should be performed under real-time fluoroscopic guidance and post-mapping computed tomographic reconstruction. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of followed by tomography (CT) additional needle localization in cone bean CT (CBCT) room.Between February 1, 2018 August 31, 2018, 11 consecutive patients presenting with 14 lesions underwent bronchoscopic CBCT room thoracoscopic surgery. The efficacy safety...
Pulmonary segmentectomy can be an oncologic equivalent of lobectomy for small non-small cell lung cancer. Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently showed favorable surgical outcomes, but remains technical demanding, especially in a complex procedure like anatomic segmentectomy. This manuscript demonstrates the techniques uniportal VATS segmentectomies with assistance additional needlescopic instruments.Data 22 consecutive patients who underwent 24...
Background: Transbronchial dye marking is a preoperative localization technique aiding pulmonary resection. Post-marking computed tomography (CT) performed to confirm the locations of actual markings. This study aimed evaluate CT images markings that present as ground-glass opacities (GGO), using quantitative feature analysis. Methods: Thin-slice (1 mm) and true ground glass nodule (GGN) lesions were obtained for analysis with gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features. The...

<h3>Abstract</h3> Naïve CD8 T cells can differentiate into effector (T<sub>EFF</sub>), memory (T<sub>MEM</sub>), or exhausted (T<sub>EX</sub>) cells. These developmental pathways are associated with distinct transcriptional and epigenetic changes that endow different functional capacities therefore therapeutic potential. The molecular circuitry underlying these trajectories the extent of heterogeneity within T<sub>EFF</sub>, T<sub>MEM</sub>, T<sub>EX</sub> populations remain poorly...
Abstract Background The impact of associated chest wall injuries (CWI) on the complications clavicle fracture repair is unclear to date. This study aimed investigate after surgical fixation in patients with and without different degrees CWI. Methods A retrospective review over a four-year period who underwent was conducted. CWI no-CWI group were distinguished, subdivided into minor-CWI (three or fewer rib fractures flail chest) complex-CWI (flail chest, four more fractures) subgroup....
