Laryngeal Ultrasound for Vocal Cord Palsy in Adults: A Meta‐Analysis of Diagnostic Studies

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The standard test to diagnose vocal cord palsy in adults is laryngoscopy, which is invasive, whereas laryngeal ultrasound (LUS) is an alternative, non‐invasive method. We conducted a systematic review to determine the accuracy of LUS in diagnosing VCP in adults.

Tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy: Historical context, clinical applications, and future directions

Cancer, Volume 132, Issue 15, 1 August 2026.
Abstract In the past 15 years, immunotherapy has become a major strategy for cancer therapy. Tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy has been under investigation for nearly four decades and received its first Food and Drug Administration approval in 2024, when lifileucel was approved for patients with previously treated metastatic melanoma.

Too Old for Surgery? A Case Report of an Octogenarian Patient With Locally Advanced Lung Cancer Achieving Long‐Term Survival via Bilobectomy Followed by Adjuvant Targeted Therapy

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background An increasing number of octogenarian patients are being diagnosed with lung cancer, but they are less likely to receive surgery because of fragility. As a result, the optimal management of lung cancer in octogenarians remains unclear.

Catheter Ablation Outcomes in Electrical Storm Versus Non–Electrical Storm Ventricular Tachycardia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia showed comparable acute procedural success and complication rates in patients with and without electrical storm. However, electrical storm was associated with higher in‐hospital mortality, long‐term mortality, and ventricular tachycardia recurrence, supporting its role as a marker of adverse prognosis ...

Hybrid Thoracoscopic‐Endocardial Versus Endocardial Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Hybrid thoracoscopic‐endocardial ablation improved overall rhythm control, antiarrhythmic drug independence, and reduced repeat ablation compared with endocardial catheter ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation. These benefits were offset by greater procedural complexity and a higher risk of major complications. ABSTRACT Background Hybrid ablation (

Successful Diagnostic Confirmation of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma With Extensive Pleural Adhesions Using Pleural Cryobiopsy Under Local Anaesthesia

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Pleural cryobiopsy under local anaesthesia enabled definitive diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma despite extensive pleural adhesions. Careful preoperative assessment and precise lesion localisation allowed safe and minimally invasive tissue acquisition in a high‐risk patient.

Thoracoscopic Surgery: Indications and Outcome

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2000
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become an established technique in both diagnostic and therapeutic thoracic surgery procedures.In an attempt to evaluate the current indications and outcome of this technique, 143 VATS procedures, which were performed over a three-year period, were retrospectively evaluated.

Small Cell Lung Cancer Associated With Cystic Airspace: A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
We report a rare case of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) associated with a cystic airspace. Chest CT revealed a solid tumour component arising from the wall of a pre‐existing lung cyst. This case highlights the clinical importance of recognising cystic airspaces as potential sites for aggressive malignancies like SCLC.
