Objective: Surgical care has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the pandemic on lung cancer and mediastinal tumor surgery.
Methods: Changes in the number of surgical procedures for lung cancer and mediastinal tumors were analyzed using the National Clinical Database of Japan.
BACKGROUND Coagulopathy caused by trauma itself is defined as trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). The pathophysiology of TIC is considered to consist of coagulation activation, hyperfibrinolysis, and consumption coagulopathy, similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This report describes a 68-year-old man with a history of epilepsy presenting with TIC associated with multiple traumatic fractures and hemothorax.

However, such natural disasters differ in some respects, and specific problems related to these events have also become clear. Kanazawa Medical University Hospital, which was the closest university hospital to the disaster area of the 2024 Noto earthquake, played a crucial role in serving the local community in the wake of the earthquake.

- Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (SFTPs) are unusual growths in the lungs, usually not cancerous, and are treated by surgery when found.
- A 71-year-old man had a large SFTP that had grown over 4 years and was causing him back pain and trouble breathing, but after surgery, he recovered without issues.
- The time it took for the tumour to double in size was longer than what other studies showed, suggesting that each case might be different and more research is needed to understand these tumours better.
This single-arm multi-institutional prospective study aimed to evaluate the 10-year outcomes of sublobar resection for small-sized ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer. Among 73 patients prospectively enrolled from 13 institutions between November 2006 and April 2012, 53 ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer patients underwent sublobar resection with wedge resection as the first choice. The inclusion criteria were maximum tumor size of 8-20 mm; ≥ 80% ground-glass opacity ratio on high-resolution computed tomography; lower F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation than the mediastinum; intraoperative pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ; and no cancer cells on intraoperative cut margins.
