Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.This case series demonstrates that intrapleural gentian violet (GV) irrigation is a safe and effective adjunct for refractory MRSA empyema. GV irrigation achieved rapid bacterial clearance (median 5 days) without procedural complications or systemic toxicity, providing a viable alternative when standard surgical debridement and systemic antibiotics ...

Radiologic assessment of the optimal point for tube thoracostomy using the sternum as a landmark: a computed tomography‐based analysis [PDF]
Journal of Trauma and InjuryPurpose This study aimed at developing a novel tube thoracostomy technique using the sternum, a fixed anatomical structure, as an indicator to reduce the possibility of incorrect chest tube positioning and complications in patients with chest trauma ...

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 266-271, April 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Ground level falls are common in the geriatric population, often culminating in Emergency Department attendance and a CT ‘pan scan’. These scans are routinely performed with intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM). The types of injuries identified in this cohort can often be adequately characterised without ICM.

Central Venous Catheter‐Related Extravasation Due to Delayed Vascular Erosion
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Central venous catheters (CVCs) are crucial in critical care but may occasionally lead to rare, serious complications such as vascular erosion and extravasation of infused solutions. Leakage of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) into the pleural space can mimic chylothorax, potentially delaying correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
