Achalasia (AC) is an esophageal dyskinetic disorder characterized by loss of function of ganglion cells of the intermuscular plexus of the distal esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter. Although there have b...

In the thoracic area, the outside edge of the vertebrae exhibits intricate anatomical features. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary, particularly in scoliosis surgery, while performing manipulations on t...

This study aims to examine the potential value of lncRNA PAX8-AS1 and miR-96-5p as diagnostic markers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to provide a reference for improving adverse outcomes in...

Cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) represent rare, nonneoplastic intraluminal heart masses, with limited case reports in existing literature. Asymptomatic cases localized in the right atrium are particu...

Herein, we presented a case of thoracoabdominal aneurysm that was surgically treated and was complicated with diaphragmatic dehiscence and wound infection. Management and treatment methods of this challenging complication were discussed. A 59-year-old male patient with a history of renal operation underwent an open surgical treatment for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. After extubation, the chest radiograph revealed left pneumothorax, and diaphragmatic dehiscence was detected on computed...

The aim of this study is to analyze the distinct characteristics and risk factors contributing to the development of worsening renal function (WRF) in elderly patients with acute decompensated heart failure (A...

Lipoma is one of the most common mesenchymal tumours. It is mostly benign in character. Those whose size is > 10 centimetres are called giant lipomas. Although its incidence is low in the extrathoracic axillar...

Despite advancements in surgical techniques and intensive care management, the incidence of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) following cardiac surgery remains a significant concern.

BACKGROUND Coronary artery fistulas are rare and typically congenital but can result from various acquired conditions. They involve abnormal connections between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or vessel, often creating a left-to-right shunt. Most coronary artery fistulas are asymptomatic and found incidentally, though larger fistulas can cause symptoms like ischemia or heart failure, requiring intervention. Management depends on the fistula size and clinical findings. Many small fistulas...
