Functional effect of adiponectin and body composition assessment in lung cancer subjects after video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 2, January 2025.
Body composition and adipose tissue play a role in the predisposition and progression of lung cancer. Patients with lung carcinoma exhibited lower levels of adiponectin compared with the control population. Additionally, adiponectin levels in patients undergo changes after surgical resection of lung carcinoma.

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesCanadian 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

open access: yesCardiology 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.

The Design and Evaluation of a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Camera System for Identification and Repair of Ventricular Septal Defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Current detection of Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) in pediatric patients can be difficult for hard to reach anatomy, such as apical defects, or for multiple VSDs.
