Article Synopsis
- Compartment syndrome typically arises in forearm and lower leg injuries, but can also affect the gluteal and thigh muscles, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment.
- A 76-year-old man experienced compartment syndrome in his right forearm and left lower leg after being crushed by a tree; following initial surgery, symptoms developed in his left gluteal thigh, leading to further intervention.
- The Kocher-Langenbeck surgical approach was effectively used to treat compartment syndromes in multiple regions, providing an efficient method for decompression and wound management.
A 76-year-old man with bronchial asthma was admitted for respiratory failure and bloody sputum. A significant drop in haemoglobin and multiple consolidations supported clinical diagnosis of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (AH). Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) was positive and urinalysis suggested glomerulonephritis.

Methods: Our cohort included patients with SLE who needed to start or increase glucocorticoids for disease activity and were followed up for more than 1 year.
Background: Double‑lumen tubes (DLTs) are commonly used for differential pulmonary ventilation during thoracic surgery. Few reports exist on subglottic stenosis among patients who underwent surgery involving DLTs; we lack immediate postoperative period documentation leading up to the onset and subsequent recovery of subglottic stenosis. Herein, we present a case of a 75-year-old woman successfully treated for subglottic stenosis after DLT.

Article Synopsis
- Inhalation injury, often a result of fire accidents, can lead to chronic complications like delayed tracheal stenosis and, in some cases, acute empyema.
- A 38-year-old man with a history of inhalation injury developed right-side pyothorax due to complications related to tracheal stenosis, resulting in difficulties during surgery that required an emergency tracheostomy.
- The case highlights the importance of careful preoperative planning to ensure airway safety for patients with existing tracheal issues.
