Mechanical and biological properties of poly- ε-caprolactone membrane for pleurodesis: A preclinical study in pigs
CONCLUSION: This study is the pioneering effort to present long-term findings regarding the mechanical and biological properties of the PCL membrane in an in vivo animal model. The membrane demonstrated better adhesion ability than that of traditional abrasion and showed reassuring biocompatibility in both the pig model, suggesting its potential as treatment for patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Further clinical studies are needed to support these observations.PMID:38383169 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2024.01.016 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Subcutaneous emphysema associated with laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery: a retrospective single-center study
ConclusionAlthough the presence of SCE is associated with a low risk of severe complications, monitoring of the perioperative intraabdominal pressure is essential for performing safe laparoscopic/robotic surgery, particularly in elderly patients. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Readmission after enhanced recovery video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery wedge resection
ConclusionsReadmission after VATS wedge resection remains significant despite an optimal ERAS program, with pneumonia and pneumothorax as the dominant reasons. Early readmission was primarily associated with pneumothorax and pneumonia, while late readmission correlated mainly with pneumonia. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

In endometriosis-related pneumothorax surgery, presence of endometriotic nodules increases postoperative air leaks and long-term relapse
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) represent between 20 and 35 % of premenopausal pneumothorax and is related to endometriosis in 50 % of cases [1,2]. Endometriosis-related non-catamenial pneumothorax (ER non-CP) represent between 6 and 10 % of pneumothorax among women of child bearing age [2–6]. Macroscopic and pathological lesions, described in both CP and ER non-CP, include diaphragmatic defect and pleural nodules [7–10]. These macroscopic lesions impact surgical management. During follow-up, CP and ER non-CP are associated with higher rate of postoperative recurrence and prolonged air leaks compared to idiopathic ...

Lung preservation in a case of complex rupture of right main bronchus and segmental bronchi injury with lung laceration
We present a case of successful bronchial repair with preservation of the entire lung in a complex bronchial injury. An 18-year-old male presented with pneumothorax and minimal dyspnea following blunt chest trauma and was managed with intercostal drainage and resuscitation. A review after 48 h showed a fallen lung sign with a Cerfolio 4C air leak. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the right main bronchial injury. On exploration, a lacerated consolidated right upper lobe with dusky discoloration was noted. Longitudinal avulsion of 2/3rd of the anterior wall of the right main bron chus (RMB) at the level of the upper...

Automated real-time detection of lung sliding using artificial intelligence: a prospective diagnostic accuracy study
Chest. 2024 Feb 14:S0012-3692(24)00157-0. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.02.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Rapid evaluation for pneumothorax (PTX) is a common clinical priority. Although lung ultrasound (LUS) is often used to assess for PTX, its diagnostic accuracy varies based on patient and provider factors. To enhance the performance of LUS for pulmonary pathology, artificial intelligence (AI) assisted imaging has been adopted, however, the diagnostic accuracy of AI-Assisted LUS (AI-LUS) deployed in real-time to diagnose PTX remains unknown.RESEARCH QUESTION: In patients with suspected PTX, what is the real-t...
