Uniportal VATS segmentectomy and lobectomy yielded similar long‐term survival in stage I NSCLC. Segmentectomy offered faster recovery but fewer N1 nodes. Recurrence was local in stage IA and distant in higher stages, emphasizing stage‐specific surveillance. CTR > 0.5 and stage ≥ IB predicted recurrence.

ABSTRACT Background Esophageal carcinosarcoma is a rare type of esophageal cancer with a characteristic sausage shape that is often detected at an early stage; therefore, the depth of invasion is often submucosal. However, many cases of esophageal carcinosarcoma demonstrate lymphatic metastases, which require surgery.

Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

A Case of Pericostal Tuberculosis Discovered Incidentally on an Abdominal MRI
A mobile pleural mass on an MRI was incidentally detected in a 45‐year‐old woman. Thoracoscopic resection revealed pericostal tuberculosis with PCR‐positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This rare case emphasizes considering pericostal tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of pleural tumors if there are suspicious MRI features.
