Background: Secondary adrenal tumors (SATs) are uncommon, and the benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs have not been well-established. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the survival benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs.
Method: ology: A systematic literature search was performed (1990-2022).
In this case report, we describe two difficult intubations in which an endotracheal tube was threaded over a fiberoptic bronchoscope that was acting as a bougie. Our patients initially presented with limited neck extension, narrow mouth opening, and restricted view of the glottic region. A fiberoptic bronchoscope was guided through while the patient was oxygenated through a laryngeal mask.

Wound colonization with multiple organisms and the limited number of effective antibiotics place a heavy burden on the healthcare system, with patients going through multiple surgeries during a prolonged hospitalization time. By analyzing the resistance patterns of pluri-bacterial populations and the approach used in managing complex cases, we aim to improve the protocols applied in caring for chronic wounds in our practice and share our experiences and observations.

- * Effective management of cerebral metastases often requires a combination of approaches, including local treatments (like surgery and radiotherapy) and systemic therapies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
- * A case study highlights the need for tailored treatment plans, demonstrating how a delayed diagnosis and rapid progression of melanoma can complicate care and emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing these complex cases.
