The azygos system as a rare alternative for chronic indwelling catheters placement [PDF]
Chronic indwelling catheters are plagued with a high rate of complications, including infection, central venous occlusion, or thrombosis. When direct access to the superior or inferior vena cava is not possible, venography may identify alternatives that ...

A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]
We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

Open surgical treatment of superior vena cava syndrome due to invasive thymoma
Here we describe a case of open surgery for superior vena cava syndrome due to invasive thymoma. An 85-year-old woman presented with facial swelling and exertional dyspnea. Computed axial tomography revealed a thymoma in the mediastinum, extending to the

Intraoperative ultrasound: “Alternative eye” in lymph nodal dissection in non‐small cell lung cancer
Intraoperative ultrasound of mediastinal lymph nodes allows surgeons to detect metastatic lymph nodes during surgery for NSCLC. It can show the relationship between lymph nodes and surrounding structures during biopsy, improving the safety and simplicity of the operation, increasing the number of harvested lymph nodes, and reducing the risk of ...

Absent right superior vena cava [PDF]
A patient planned to be performed catheter ablation. However, three-dimensional contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed isolated persistent left superior vena cava. We should know such an anatomical abnormality especially when central venous catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter is inserted from right jugular vein or right ...

Prognostic factors and genetic markers in thymic epithelial tumors: A narrative review
The aim of this review article is to discuss the different prognostic factors and genetic markers of TET and to point out discrepancies and similarities among the available literature (concerning prognostic factors) and more importantly to demonstrate the genetic pathways that could be the basis of a development of new targeted therapies.
