Purpose: To evaluate, via a systematic review, the effectiveness of radiofrequency (RF) for treatment of primary hyperhidrosis (PH).
Methods: Experimental or observational studies were included where RF treatment (ablation or microneedling) was performed, comparing the periods before and after treatment.
Results: Nine studies were considered eligible and included for analysis.
Objective: To report a case series of patients with descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) who were treated with minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
Methods: We report three cases of male patients with DNM who underwent mediastinal debridement by video-assisted thoracic surgery at the Hospital São Paulo, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from admission to the final outcome.
Results: The postoperative evolution was favorable in all three cases.
