Beyond the Chest Wall: Examining the Relationship Between Morphological Features and Psychosocial Distress in Pectus Excavatum Patients.

Introduction: Pectus excavatum patients frequently experience psychosocial distress, yet the relationship with morphological features of the deformity remains unexplored. We hypothesize that certain morphological features analyzed by 3D optical surface imaging contribute more prominently to the distress experienced by pectus excavatum patients as they impact the visible severity of the deformity.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive pectus excavatum patients who received three-dimensional optical surface imaging between August 2019 and November 2022 were included.

Role of , , and in determining the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of lung cancers, and is the leading cause of tumor-related death. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most prevalent subtype of NSCLC. Although significant progress of LUAD treatment has been made under multimodal strategies, the prognosis of advanced LUAD is still poor due to recurrence and metastasis.

Sternal elevation in pectus excavatum repair: comparison of a unilateral versus bilateral frame crane system.

Objectives: Instability in the conventional, unilateral frame crane system occurs when greater sternal elevation forces are required, which potentially limits optimal sternal elevation during Nuss repair of the pectus excavatum. A bilateral frame setup was subsequently developed. We hypothesized that increasing the retractor's stability with the bilateral frame crane system would yield superior sternal elevation, as reflected by a greater lift of the anterior chest wall.
