The treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is still controversial, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is a hot topic of current research. We investigated the recent efficacy and ...

The widespread utilization of chest High-resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) has prompted detection of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) in otherwise asymptomatic individuals. We aimed to establish a sim...

CONCLUSION: Patients with broken sternal wires and an unstable sternum require careful evaluation and management as these may have potentially life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Background and objective Complex congenital heart diseases (CHDs), such as the tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), often warrant reconstruction and augmentation of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This procedure requires the use of both synthetic and natural materials. However, finding the ideal material for tissue implants can be challenging. Biological materials often face issues such as tissue degeneration, calcium deposition, antigenicity, rejection, shrinkage, and fibrosis. These issues...

The purpose of this investigation is to develop a novel nomogram for predicting major bleeding following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Nonmalignant tracheal stenosis is a potentially life threatening conditions that develops as fibrotic healing from intubation, tracheostomy, caustic injury or chronic infection processes like tuberculosis. Thi...

Emergent airway occurrences pose a significant threat to patient life. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven to be an effective method for managing emergent airways.

The left partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection is a rare congenital heart disease, especially with intact atrial septum. Now we reported a case of the left superior pulmonary vein drainage to left innomi...

CONCLUSION: Tutopatch^(®) can be used as an extension of the muscle to cover the prosthesis. It forms an extra layer over the silicone implant that helps to decrease the complications as capsular contracture and implant exposure. It also represents a significant 85 % reduction in cost when compared to a similar-sized mesh materials.
