Efficacy of airway stenting and nasogastric tube insertion in airway-esophageal fistula patients with airways compromised by advanced malignancy
CONCLUSION: In airway-compromised AEF patients, airway stents and nasogastric tubes are probably the preferred treatments. Airway stenting is tolerable, and routine weekly poststent bronchoscopy is needed in the first month and depending on respiratory symptoms thereafter.PMID:38350674 | DOI:10.1111/crj.13737 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Impact of Functional Conservation Surgery on Sleep Respiration of Patients with Glottic Cancer
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of OSAHS in patients with glottic cancer before and after surgery was higher than that in the general population. The effect of functional preservation surgery on sleep breathing in patients with glottic cancer is related to the degree of destruction of the thyroid cartilage scaffold and the scope of surgery. Surgery mainly increases the degree of OSAHS by aggravating patients' hypoventilation rather than apnea.PMID:38330556 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Global, regional, and national burden and trends of early ‐onset tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer from 1990 to 2019
ConclusionsAlthough global efforts have been the most successful and effective in reducing the burden of EO-TBL cancer over the past three decades, there was strong regional and gender heterogeneity. EO-TBL cancer need more medical attention in the lower SDI quintiles and in the female population. (Source: Thoracic Cancer)

Case report: A novel perspective on the treatment of primary tracheal small cell carcinoma: a patient ’s experience with immuno-combined EP therapy and literature review
Tracheal small cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare malignancy, for which the optimal treatment strategy has yet to be determined. Currently, treatment largely aligns with the therapeutic guidelines established for small cell lung cancer, although numerous unresolved issues remain. This paper details a case study of a patient with Stage IIIB primary tracheal SCC, who was treated with an immune-combined etoposide-platinum(EP) regimen. This treatment offers valuable insights into innovative approaches for managing such malignancies. Furthermore, the study includes a comprehensive literature review to better contextualize the findi...

Unveiling the Rarity: A Case Report on Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Thyroid Gland
AbstractSolitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) rarely manifests within the thyroid gland, an organ predominantly associated with epithelial carcinomas. This case report explores the clinical narrative of a 70-year-old patient presenting with a sizable SFT localized in the left lobe of the thyroid, posing diagnostic challenges uncommon in thyroid nodules. The report delves into the clinical history, radiological findings, pathological assessments, and therapeutic interventions, contributing to the limited literature on thyroidal SFTs.  The patient’s ultrasound revealed a substantial thyroid mass causing tracheal and vascular displ...

Progress in diagnosing and treating thyroid squamous cell carcinoma under the 5th edition of WHO classification
Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (SCCT) is a rare thyroid gland malignancy, with only a few hundred cases reported in the literature, mostly as case reports or small sample studies. In the previous WHO classification, squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid was defined as a carcinoma composed entirely of squamous cells without differentiated carcinoma components. It was once included in the WHO tumor classification separately. However, the 2022 WHO classification of squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid was reclassified as a morphologic subtype of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). The squamous cell carcinoma patter...

Tracheal Bronchus Detected During General Anesthesia: A Case Report
Anesth Prog. 2023 Dec 1;70(4):173-177. doi: 10.2344/anpr-70-02-09.ABSTRACTA tracheal bronchus is a congenital abnormality of the tracheobronchial tree in which a displaced or accessory bronchus arises from the trachea superior to its bifurcation. We herein report a case in which a tracheal bronchus was incidentally found after induction of general anesthesia, and we discuss the potential airway management problems that may have ensued. An 80-year-old man was scheduled for buccal mucosa resection and abdominal skin grafting for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the left buccal mucosa. Because of trismus and anticipate...
