Effect of Refined Nursing on Wound Complications After Thoracoscopic Surgery for Lung Cancer

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2025.
In this study, different nursing modes were evaluated and compared in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical lung cancer resection to determine which is more effective in managing postoperative wound complications. Compared with the control group, the implementation of refined nursing intervention for patients with thoracoscopic radical resection of

Cryobiopsy as a Salvage Technique Following Negative Flexible Forceps Biopsy of the Pleura Under Rapid On‐Site Evaluation Guidance: A Prospective Study

Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
A diffusely thickened or hard pleura is a special type of macroscopic appearance associated with benign or malignant conditions. Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is the gold standard for pleural pathology, but its diagnostic yield is imperfect. Although cryobiopsy may provide greater and deeper tissue, its impact on the diagnostic yield remains uncertain, and

Comparison of Left Ventricular Functional Recovery and Remodeling After Total Thoracoscopic Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement in Patients With Mitral Regurgitation and Mildly to Moderately Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Cardiology Research and Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Total thoracoscopic mitral valve surgery (TT‐MVS) is a minimally invasive technique for mitral regurgitation (MR), but its impact on left ventricular (LV) function and remodeling in patients with reduced LV ejection fraction (LVEF) is unclear.

Virtual reality‐based preoperative planning for optimized trocar placement in thoracic surgery: A preliminary study

Healthcare Technology Letters, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 418-426, December 2024.
This article introduces the first preoperative planning HMD VR system tailored to optimize trocar placement in Video‐Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS). Our system features specific data visualization and interaction designs for efficient and optimized trocar placement, potentially improving surgical outcomes by reducing operative time and fatigue.

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of ultra‐fast track anesthesia for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy of palmar hyperhidrosis

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 3327-3334, October 2024.
Abstract Objective In this study, we investigated the safety and practicability of ultra‐fast track anesthesia (UFTA) for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). Methods A total of 72 patients with palmar hyperhidrosis undergoing ETS were randomly divided into three groups: the UFTA group (group I), the group undergoing single‐lumen tracheal ...

Selective bronchial occlusion for acquired bronchobiliary fistula caused by treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: A case series

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2024.
In this study, we present four cases of acquired bronchobiliary fistula (ABBF) caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, who were treated using selective bronchial occlusion (SBO). Three out of our 4 patients were successfully treated with patients reporting disappearance of symptoms of bilioptysis and cough.
