Background: A multidisciplinary treatment approach is recommended for patients with extensive, advanced, or recurrent thymomas. However, detailed treatment strategies, such as chemotherapy regimens and optimal surgical procedures, are still under debate.
Case Presentation: We report a case of gigantic locally advanced thymoma.
Perturbations in ribosome biogenesis cause a type of cellular stress called nucleolar or ribosomal stress, which triggers adaptive responses in both animal and plant cells. The Arabidopsis ANAC082 transcription factor has been identified as a key mediator of the plant nucleolar stress response. The 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of mRNA contains an upstream ORF (uORF) encoding an evolutionarily conserved amino acid sequence.

- Accurate identification of lung segments is crucial during segmentectomy, and Indocyanine Green (ICG) aids in this visualization.
- A study analyzed 111 cases of lung segmentectomy from April 2020 to March 2023, finding that most (94%) had clear segment boundaries while 6% had unclear boundaries, which were linked to lower pulmonary function measurements (DLCO).
- The unclear boundary cases were all lower lobe segmentectomies, suggesting that patients with lower DLCO values faced more challenges in accurately identifying intersegmental planes.
