The Clinical Spectrum of Kommerell’s Diverticulum in Adults with a Right-Sided Aortic Arch: A Case Series and Literature Overview

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
Background: Kommerell’s diverticulum is a rare vascular anomaly characterized as an outpouch at the onset of an aberrant subclavian artery. In the variant of a right-sided aortic arch, the trachea and esophagus are enclosed dorsally by the arch.

Methods for assessing manifestations of respiratory failure in patients with laryngeal and tracheal compression syndrome caused by thyroid diseases and cicatricial tracheal stenosis

Mìžnarodnij Endokrinologìčnij Žurnal
Background. Tracheal compression syndrome is one of the most severe complications of thyroid diseases and cicatricial tracheal stenosis, which is accompanied by respiratory failure.

Double aortic arch presenting with neonatal respiratory distress but not due to airway obstruction: Anatomic and embryologic explanation

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
Double aortic arch resulting from embryonic persistence of bilateral fourth branchial arches often leads to neonatal stridor due to tracheal compression. Two neonates presented with dyspnea without evidence of tracheal compression.

Intrapatient tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution in an autopsy study of metastatic salivary gland cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Late tracheal compression complicating plombage. [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1999
gressive enlargement of the mass over several years. CT showed extrapleural location, calcifications, and compression of the trachea between the mass and the aortic arch (Fig. lB). MR imaging showed homogeneous signal within the mass (Fig. 1C). After excision, the gross specimen consisted of sheets of polyethylene surrounded by a thick rind (Fig.

Beta1 subunits enable fentanyl‐induced BK channel activation and opioid regulation of cerebral artery diameter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.

Surgical tactics for nodular thyroid diseases with compression syndrome

Mìžnarodnij Endokrinologìčnij Žurnal
Background. Clinical manifestations of tracheal compression occur when its lumen is narrowed by more than 70 %. When using spirometry as a screening method, the frequency of upper airway obstruction was from 10 to 31 %.

Bioinspired Adaptive Artificial Cilia With Tunable Sensitivity and Dynamic Range for Airflow Monitoring in the Central Airway

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A magnetically reconfigurable airflow sensor integrated with an airway stent enables tunable sensitivity and dynamic sensing range. Airflow‐induced cantilever deformation generates resistance changes, while an external magnetic field modulates sensor stiffness, enhancing sensitivity at low airflow velocities and extending the sensing range at higher ...

Real‐Time Holographic Feedback via Mixed Reality Sensorized Laryngoscope Training System Enhances Pediatric Intubation Training

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We proposed a Mixed Reality Sensorized Laryngoscope Training System to provide real‐time holographic torque feedback during pediatric endotracheal intubation simulation. Visualization formats are evaluated to reduce tracking error and visual demand.
