Surgical treatment of lung metastases originating from head and neck tumors has shown favorable outcomes with low incidence of complications and mortality. This study aims to investigate survival and prognostic factors following pulmonary metastasectomy for head and neck cancers. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted through the Medline database, focusing on English-language studies related to surgical treatment of lung metastases from head and neck cancers.

A multi-electrode pentaspline catheter for delivery of PFA guided by fluoroscopy has become widely available for clinical use.
Methods And Results: In this study, we aimed to assess whether the addition of electroanatomical mapping (EAM) for confirmation of PVI in the acute phase can increase the efficacy of the procedure in terms of arrhythmia recurrences.

- Significant unprotected left main (ULM) disease is a serious heart condition that requires quick treatment because it can cause major heart problems.
- A study called NOBLE didn't show that one treatment method (PCI) is better than another (CABG), but other studies showed both methods have similar results.
- It's important for doctors to keep researching to find the best treatments for this heart condition, especially with new technologies and medicines.
Evidence suggests an association between obesity and the risk for cardiomyopathy development; however, robust evidence is still lacking. In this study we sought to explore the relationship of obesity with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and possible interactions with sex using large-scale epidemiological real-world data. We analysed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample of US hospitalisations for the years 2015-2019.
