Video-assisted mediastinoscopy.

The Journal of the Japanese Association for Chest Surgery, 1994
縦隔鏡検査は, 気管周囲のリンパ節病変の診断に極めて有用であり, 多くの施設で行われている.反面, 縦隔という狭い空間での操作であるため, 従来の直視型縦隔鏡では, 術者にしか観察できないこと, 術者の操作姿勢の不自由さ, 鉗子類挿入による観察視野の狭小化など, 改善すべき点が多く, 敬遠する向きも多いのが現状である.そこでわれわれは, Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgeryの技術と器具を縦隔鏡検査に応用する方法を考察した.縦隔鏡筒右端の開放部分に沿って, 直径5rnrnの内視鏡を挿入し, ビデオモニターの映像を観察しながら, 内視鏡下手術に用いる鉗子類を使用して, リンパ節を周囲の脂肪組織や結合織から剥離, 採取する.この方法により, 術者と助手が同時に観察可能となり ...

Cracking the Code: Which Ocular Symptoms Predict Dry Eye Signs? Insights From a Large International Sicca Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The study aimed to identify symptom‐based predictors of dry eye disease (DED) signs in the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis examining 16 ocular symptoms (most graded 0–4) and artificial tear (AT) use (graded 0–3) as predictors of DED signs (abnormal ocular ...

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Reduction of Oxide Inclusions During the High‐Frequency Welding of Steel via a Nonthermal Ar/H2 Plasma Jet

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...
