Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4589-4595, October 2026.
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

Hamman's crunch—A pathognomonic sign of pneumomediastinum

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page e571-e576, September 2026.
Summary Pneumomediastinum, particularly spontaneous pneumomediastinum, is uncommon and presents a diagnostic challenge. In human medicine, auscultation of Hamman's crunch, a crepitant, crunching noise, audible over the cardiac region in synchrony with the heartbeat, is considered pathognomonic for pneumomediastinum.

Early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer: Toward a risk‐adaptive paradigm in the era of biologic precision

open access: yesCA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Volume 76, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract The clinical landscape of early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer is at transformative crossroads. Driven by the widespread adoption of low‐dose computed tomography screening, the frequent detection of ground‐glass opacities, and a rising incidence among never‐smokers, the diagnostic center of gravity has shifted toward earlier, potentially ...
