Tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma with microscopic positive margin-how we approached with a systematic analysis review of its management.

Purpose: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the trachea is a rare malignancy. We report a patient with ACC who underwent multimodal management including tracheal resection. A systematic review was also conducted on tracheal resection for ACC.

Laser ablation of anal fistulae: a 6-year experience in a tertiary teaching hospital in Malaysia.

Background: Several studies have investigated the role of laser ablation of anal fistulae in the European setting. However, long-term follow-up results following laser fistula ablations are not widely investigated and no study was performed in the Asia-Pacific, a region with a distinctive prevalence of tuberculosis. The primary objective of this study is to report a single-centre experience with laser ablation of anal fistulae in Malaysia over a period of 6 years.

Uniportal Endoscopic Vein Harvest Using the Three-Step Haemostatic Technique-A Modified Approach.

Endoscopic venous harvest (EVH) has become widely adopted in routine elective coronary artery bypass graft operations given it reduces surgical-site infections and improves wound cosmesis. The conventional EVH involves a 'stab and grab' incision at the inguinal crease, which is a hard-to-reach area for routine wound care. This paper describes the steps of the uniportal EVH, which transects the venous conduit, omitting the need for a stab incision at the groin.

Similarities in the Metabolic Reprogramming of Immune System and Endothelium.

Cellular metabolism has been known for its role in bioenergetics. In recent years, much light has been shed on the reprogrammable cellular metabolism underlying many vital cellular processes, such as cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. Metabolic reprogramming in immune and endothelial cells (ECs) is being studied extensively.
