Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the detection of intraoperative cardiac arrest: A case report
Rationale: Point-of-care ultrasound is widely used in patients with cardiac arrest, allowing for diagnosing, monitoring, and prognostication as well as assessing the effectiveness of the chest compressions. However, the detection of intraoperative cardiac arrest by Point-of-care ultrasound was rarely reported. Patient concerns: A 21-year-old male with Marfan syndrome which manifested Valsalva sinus aneurysms was admitted for aortic valve replacement.

Clinical Manifestation, Evaluation, and Rehabilitative Strategy of Dysphagia Associated With COVID-19
Dysphagia is the difficulty in swallowing because of the presence of certain diseases; it particularly compromises the oral and/or pharyngeal stages. In severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, neuromuscular complications, prolonged bed rest, and endotracheal intubation target different levels of the swallowing network. Thus, critically ill patients are prone to dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia. In this review, we first discuss the possible cause and pathophysiology underlying dysphagia associated with coronavirus disease 2019, including cerebrovascular events, such as stroke, encephalomyelitis, encepha...
