Aim: A study reported that therapeutic hypothermia (TH) did not reduce the combined prognosis of mortality and disability at 18 months, in low- and middle-income countries for patients with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) who received TH, suggesting its no implementation in these regions. We described characteristics, mortality, and neurological response before and after the use of TH in newborns with HIE within the EpicLatino Neonatal Network (ENN) and described the population of infants with HIE treated and not treated with TH.
Methods: Data were collected from 2015 to 2022 for patients with HIE.
Background: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen concentration in affected tissues that enhance the cellular hypoxia recovery process, neovascularization, fibroblast proliferation, increased reactive oxygen species, suppression of proinflammatory states, and vascular compression. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the experience in the use of the hyperbaric chamber as an adjunctive management for the prompt recovery of patients who underwent aesthetic plastic surgery.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted between 2021 and 2023, involving 296 patients who received HBOT after aesthetic surgical procedures, to demonstrate the recuperation time rate and the complication incidence in postoperative patients using HBOT.
Article Synopsis
- A new lung cancer survivorship clinic workflow was created to specifically address the needs of early-stage lung cancer survivors (LCS) using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) to collect data on their experiences and care.
- From January 2020 to March 2023, 315 early-stage LCS completed orientation visits, showing high satisfaction rates, although ePRO completion varied significantly by gender and demographics.
- The study found LCS reported lower symptom burdens compared to the general population, but a significant number had moderate to severe symptoms, indicating a need for better outreach and supportive care referrals, particularly for female patients.
Aeromedical Considerations for Patient Safety in Aesthetic Medical Tourism.

October 2024
Introduction: The global rise in aesthetic surgery has led to an increase in aesthetic medical tourism (AMT). As patients pursue surgical interventions abroad, concerns about the elevated complication rates in AMT have emerged. This study explores the complexities of AMT, emphasizing the intersection of plastic surgery and aerospace medicine, to elucidate the incidence of complications, identify associated variables, and introduce aeromedical considerations to proactively enhance patient safety.

High-Definition Liposuction (HDL) has emerged as a preferred technique, but the presence of fibrosis from prior surgeries may limit its effectiveness.
Objectives: This study explores the application of ultrasound-assisted VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance; VASER-Solta Medical, Bothell, WA) liposuction in secondary abdominal liposculpture to address these challenges.
