How can osteosynthesis material used for fracture fixation undergo intrathoracic migration?-a systematic literature review.

Background: Kirschner wires or pins were widely used for osteosynthesis in trauma surgery. Breakage of osteosynthesis material and intra-thoracic migration is a complication that has occasionally been described. We reviewed the literature to study the frequency and pathophysiology of such migrations.

Optimal planning and management strategies for minimally invasive lung segmentectomies: an international Delphi consensus report.

Objectives: CALGB140503/JCOG0802 RCTs comparing lobectomy with sublobar resection in stage IA NSCLC have confirmed the non-inferiority of segmentectomy. Additional insight is needed to improve preoperative work-up and intraoperative strategies to increase safety and promote the dissemination of minimally invasive segmentectomy (MIS). A Delphi panel study assessed the level of consensus among surgeons for the planning and management of MIS.

Interventional pain physician beliefs on climate change: A Spine Intervention Society (SIS) survey.

Summary Of Background Data: Although evaluated within other specialties, physicians' beliefs towards climate change and human health have not been described within Interventional Pain Medicine (IPM). Understanding belief systems is essential for developing solutions to build sustainable practices.

Objectives: Assess beliefs toward climate change within the field of IPM.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis caused by a minor whiplash injury.

We describe a case of descending necrotizing mediastinitis from a very unusual origin, caused by cervical oesophageal perforation by osteophytes after an apparently minor whiplash injury. Diagnosis was delayed by atypical and predominantly neurological clinical presentation. Despite late presentation, minimally invasive access surgical debridement of mediastinum and cervical injury site lead to full recovery.

The carbon footprint of epidural steroid injections: A pilot study.

Background: Epidural steroid injections are common procedures in physical medicine and rehabilitation practice. However, their environmental impact has not been characterized.

Objective: The primary aim is to estimate and compare the carbon footprint of two standard injection kits used to perform epidural steroid injections at a single academic institution.
