Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.We describe two cases of biopsy‐proven secondary OP in ocrelizumab‐treated MS patients occurring several weeks after contracting COVID‐19 infection. These patients had been on ocrelizumab for 6.5 years (latent period) before the development of OP. Withdrawal of ocrelizumab and corticosteroids resulted in clinical and radiographic recovery.

Transxiphoid hand-assisted videothoracoscopic surgery [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: We have performed transxiphoid hand-assisted videothoracoscopy since 1995 to allow manual palpation in bilateral lung metastasectomy. This approach was extended to other thoracoscopic procedures requiring a handport.

Intraoperative Repair of Bronchial Damage Following Robotic Segmentectomy
Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 13, July 2025.During robotic surgery, restapling the bronchial stump may be easier than closing the bronchial defect using robotic needle drivers. ABSTRACT Herein, we reported the damage of the B6 bronchial segment following apical segmentectomy of the left lower lobe for management of a typical carcinoid tumor. The defect was localized distally to the B6 origin and

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 23, June 20, 2025.Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2018 OBJECTIVES Intraoperative conversion may be required during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. We evaluated the morbidity and mortality rates associated with VATS for anatomical pulmonary resection with conversion to thoracotomy
