A rare cause of dysphagia and simultaneous hoarseness of voice in the octogenarian: a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, management, and review of literature.

Unlabelled: An 82-year-old male presented with progressive dysphagia and simultaneous hoarseness of voice for the past 6 months. He had mitral valve repair and a permanent pacemaker for a heart block 5 years ago. A computed tomographic scan of the neck demonstrated a cervical esophageal diverticulum.

A sudden hemorrhage in the esophageal duplication cyst: A rare cause of acute dysphagia in an adult.

A 42-year-old male pediatrics physician was admitted with a history of acute chest pain and sudden severe dysphagia to solids and liquids. He denied any history of abdominal pain, vomiting, dyspnea, nausea weight loss. He could not even swallow saliva.

Two-stage surgery for delayed esophageal perforation and concomitant chylothorax secondary to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

A 46 years old male smoker was admitted to our hospital with a three-month history of chest discomfort and burning sensations due to regurgitation of food. The gastroenterologist tried multiple attempts to pass the endoscope through the lower end of the esophagus but failed. Post endoscopy Chest -X-ray showed right hemithorax fluid collection.

Cardiac arrest secondary to subclavian artery injury in blunt chest trauma: A lifesaving emergency surgery in COVID crises.

A 25-year-old male vehicle driver had a road traffic accident and sustained a blunt chest injury. His chest x-ray in the emergency department showed left hemithorax opacification. A chest drain Fr32 was inserted, and 1300ml of Blood drained out.

The diagnostic and prognostic value of tumor markers in giant mediastinal endodermal sinus tumor with prolonged survival: Twelve-year follow up after radical resection.

We report a case of 16 -year male who presented with nonproductive cough, chest pain, and hemoptysis. His chest -x-ray and computerized tomographic scan (CT) of the thorax with contrast enhancement revealed a large mediastinal mass mostly occupying the left hemithorax. Percutaneous CT scan-guided biopsy of the mediastinal mass was reported as an endodermal sinus tumor (EDST).

Extended pattern prostate biopsy does not minimize the volume-grade bias in prostate cancer detection.

Purpose: The higher number of high grade cancers noted in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial may have arisen due to a previously unknown association between prostate volume and sextant biopsy derived grade, rendering it more difficult to detect high grade cancer in men with a larger prostate (volume-grade bias). A basic tenet of measurement theory is that repeat measurement improves validity. We determined whether an extended pattern prostate biopsy technique could overcome this bias.

Stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumors: the case for management by risk stratification.

For patients with clinical stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT), the therapeutic options after orchiectomy are retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, surveillance, and chemotherapy. Ideally the option selected will be based on an individualized assessment of the estimated risk of progression based on prognostic factors, so called risk-adapted treatment, to reduce overall burden of therapy while maintaining survival. It is possible to identify patients at low risk of progression who can be followed by active surveillance initially.
