Successful closure of pharyngo-cutaneous and phayryngo-tracheal fistulas using removable hypopharyngeal stent after laryngectomy for laryngeal carcinoma

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012
Placement of removable stents to close pharyngo-cutaneous and tracheo-pharyngeal fistulas after laryngectomy has not been reported before. This case presents the feasibility of removable esophageal stent in closing pharyngo-cutaneous and tracheo ...

THE PREVALENCE OF BIRTH DEFECTS AMONG NON-HISPANIC ASIANS AND AMERICAN INDIANS/ALASKA NATIVES IN TEXAS, 1999-2015 [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Birth defects are disproportionately higher among certain race/ethnic groups. We examined how birth defects prevalence differs among the less studied non-Hispanic (NH) Asian and any American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations, relative ...

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Surgical complications in human orthotopic liver transplantation. [PDF]

, 1987
Between March 1, 1980 and December 31, 1984, 393 orthotopic liver transplantations (OLT) were performed in 313 consecutive recipients. Technical complications were responsible for a substantial morbidity (41/393 allograft loss--10.4%) and mortality (26 ...

Tandem Approach for Transvenous Lead Extraction: Efficacy, Safety, and Operational Learning Curve

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is rising due to increased cardiovascular device implantation and an aging population. While the superior access is standard, complex cases may benefit from the Tandem approach, combining femoral and superior access to improve efficacy and safety.

Bachmann's Bundle‐Related Atrial Tachycardias Following Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial tachycardias (AT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may utilize Bachmann's bundle (BB). Due to their epicardial location, these ATs remain poorly understood. Objective To describe the electrophysiologic and anatomic basis of BB‐related ATs.

Inflammatory and Myocardial Biomarker Response Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Cryoballoon Versus Balloon‐in‐Basket Pulsed Field Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryoballoon ablation (CB) is a well‐established thermal technique for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), while balloon‐in‐basket pulsed field ablation (BiB‐PFA) represents a novel non‐thermal alternative. Both single‐shot systems may trigger systemic inflammation and myocardial injury, yet direct comparisons are lacking.

Endoscopic treatment with lumen-apposing metal stent in a patient with esophageal stricture and esophagobronchial fistula: a case report

Frontiers in Medicine
Endoscopic interventions for postoperative esophageal strictures and fistulas are inherently challenging. The use of conventional self-expandable metallic stents has been restricted due to high migration rates.
