Introduction: Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is a rare and lethal condition that may progress to sepsis and perforations. Most related literature comes from case reports; however, a few small reviews have been published. We conducted a large systematic review of AEN using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase to organize data into one consolidated manuscript, find potential prognosticators of illness, and determine possible treatment guidelines for AEN.

Extracting ECM from viscera requires a specific decellularization method, as no standardized protocol exists. This study performed three decellularization methods: sonication, orbital shaking at room temperature, and agitation at 4°C, using SDS and TX100 at concentrations of 0.

- Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a non-cancerous bone condition that can cause bone pain, deformities, and fractures, particularly affecting the cranio-facial region.
- A study at a surgical oncology department followed seven patients with cranio-facial FD over 18.75 months, focusing on the effects of zolendronic acid, a medication used for bone conditions.
- Results showed significant improvements in patients' pain levels and other clinical markers, supporting the use of zolendronic acid as an effective treatment option for cranio-facial fibrous dysplasia.
Importance: Supplementing potassium in an effort to maintain high-normal serum concentrations is a widespread strategy used to prevent atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (AFACS), but is not evidence-based, carries risks, and is costly.
Objective: To determine whether a lower serum potassium concentration trigger for supplementation is noninferior to a high-normal trigger.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This open-label, noninferiority, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 23 cardiac surgical centers in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Background: The pneumonitis associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection impacts the right ventricle (RV). However, the association between the disease severity and right ventricular systolic function needs elucidation.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 108 patients admitted to critical care with COVID-19 pneumonitis to examine the association between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) by transthoracic echocardiography as a surrogate for RV systolic function with PaO/FiO ratio as a marker of disease severity and other respiratory parameters.
