Distribution of Ectopic Germinal Centers in Thymic Epithelial Tumors and Their Relationship With Thymic Involution

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that ectopic germinal centers were observed in less involuted thymus of thymic epithelial tumors positive for antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies, associating their presence with higher antibody titers and supporting the need for at least a total thymectomy in younger patients. ABSTRACT Ectopic germinal centers (GCs) are

Deep sternal wound infections: Evidence for prevention, treatment, and reconstructive surgery

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Median sternotomy is the most popular approach in cardiac surgery. Post-sternotomy wound complications are rare, but the occurrence of a deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a catastrophic event associated with higher morbidity and mortality, longer ...

Ministernotomy in myocardial revascularization preserves postoperative pulmonary function [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the need to perform a midsternotomy has been considered a factor for the decrease in postoperative pulmonary function.

Sternal nonunion on bone scintigraphy: A case report [PDF]

, 2013
Sternal non-union is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. Healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone

Effects of Intraoperative Ventilation Strategies on Ventilation Inhomogeneity and Inflammatory Response in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery—A Randomized Pilot Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Respiratory arrest during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric cardiac surgery risks lung dysfunction including derecruitment, atelectasis, and inflammation. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and lung‐protective ventilation (LPV) during aortic cross‐clamping show inconsistent results in mitigating these risks.

Laparoscopic omentoplasty and split skin graft for deep sternal wound infection and dehiscence patient [PDF]

, 2016
Treatment of sternotomy dehiscence secondary to infection is complex. We describe a case where following debridement and negative pressure therapy the greater omentum was harvested laparoscopically, pedicled on the right gastroepiploic artery and ...

Predictive accuracy of diagnostic tests for excessive bleeding in cardiac surgery: The COPTIC‐C study

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background We tested the hypothesis that the addition of biomarkers of multimorbidity and biological aging would improve the predictive accuracy of point‐of‐care viscoelastometry or laboratory tests of coagulation for clinically important bleeding following cardiac surgery.

Surgical approach for cardiac surgery in a patient with tracheostoma [PDF]

, 1998
The thoracic approach for cardiac surgery in a patient with a tracheostoma can result in difficult problems, such as mediastinitis, stoma necrosis or inadequate operative exposure. We present a distinct approach consisting of an incision at
