Perioperative Outcomes and Long-term Survival in Clinically Early-stage Thymic 
Malignancies: Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Thymectomy versus Open Approaches

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2016
Background and objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) theoretically offers advantages over open thymectomy for clinically early-stage (Masaoka-Koga stage I and II) thymic malignancies. However, longterm outcomes have not been well studied.

Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated With Thymic Tumors, a Nationwide Retrospective Study

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 12, Page 2230-2237, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is the most frequent autoimmune cytopenia associated with thymic tumors (TTs). In a nationwide retrospective study, we included 41 patients (22 women, median age 62 years). At PRCA diagnosis, the mean hemoglobin level was 6.6 ± 2.1 g/dL, and the reticulocyte count was 6 ± 5 × 109/L. PRCA was diagnosed before TT (8%,

The Use of Parabulbar and Sub‐Tenon Injections to Correct Isolated Resistant Diplopia in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: A Long Road to Clinically Meaningful Success

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Changes in ocular alignment following parabulbar betamethasone in myasthenia gravis. Paired images obtained before and after parabulbar betamethasone (0.5 mL per eye; April 22 and May 6, 2025) demonstrate improved horizontal alignment and reduction of vertical deviations in primary gaze, upgaze, right gaze, and left gaze.
