Comparison of intubation times using a manikin with an immobilized cervical spine: Macintosh laryngoscope vs. GlideScope vs. fiberoptic bronchoscope [PDF]
Objective Airway management in patients with suspected cervical spine injury is classified as a “difficult airway.” The best device for managing difficult airways is not known. Therefore, we conducted an intubation study simulating patients with cervical

Endotracheal Actinomycosis Combined With Mucormycosis: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
We report a case of endobronchial pulmonary actinomycosis complicated with mucormycosis. ABSTRACT Actinomycosis and mucormycosis are rare infections, and their coexistence in a single host is extremely uncommon. Actinomycosis of the trachea is a chronic septic condition caused by actinomycete infection, often misdiagnosed due to the difficulty of ...
