Mega-aortic syndrome including aortic arch and descending aortic aneurysm is a challenging surgical case. Because the aorta continuously dilates, creating the distal anastomosis sites becomes an issue. Despite...

Some pulmonary tuberculosis patients may require lung resection surgery. Postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation is essential to restore the lung function and maintain quality of life. We aimed to study the pul...

Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (sACP) is a crucial cerebral protection technique employed during aortic dissection surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass. However, postoperative neurological compli...

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is the most important regulatory mechanism by which right-to-left shunts decrease during one-lung ventilation (OLV), but the effects of pulmonary microarterial thrombosis and...

Introduction Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is integral to periodontal therapy, facilitating the repair of osseous defects. Due to the widespread use of bovine pericardium (BP) in GTR, a thorough investigation into its genotoxicity is essential for patient safety and treatment efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the genotoxic effects of local BP in GTR for periodontal osseous defects. Materials and methods The Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay (Ames test) was used to assess the genotoxic...

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is widely used for thoracic lesions in pediatric patients. VATS is also applied to pediatric mediastinal tumors if there is no adhesion or invasion between the tumor and ...

Cardiac fibromas are extremely rare in adults. The preferred treatment is surgical resection, but antiarrhythmic medications or heart transplantation have also been used previously. The cardiac imaging, partic...
