Article Synopsis
- The bacteria called (the name is missing) causes a common kind of lung infection known as pneumonia around the world.
- Researchers found that this bacteria can break down important proteins in the lung that help keep it strong and healthy.
- They discovered that when the bacteria changes the acid levels in the lungs, it makes things worse, but if they keep the acid levels normal, it helps protect the lungs and immune system during the infection.
Robotic-assisted extended thymectomy for large resectable thymoma: 21 years' experience.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
August 2024
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the perioperative and midterm oncological outcomes of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery extended thymectomy for patients with large resectable thymomas compared with small thymomas.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 204 patients with thymomas who underwent robotic-assisted thoracic surgery extended thymectomy between January 2003 and February 2024. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the thymoma size (5-cm threshold).
Background And Objective: The development of early screening for lung cancer has led to improved overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the management of NSCLC patients with resectable and potentially resectable chest wall invasion (CWI) requires attention. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of surgery (chest wall resections) in NSCLC patients with CWI.

- The guideline update aimed to improve how blunt or penetrating chest injuries are treated in patients with severe injuries, based on the latest evidence and expert consensus.
- A systematic review of literature was conducted, focusing on various types of studies related to surgical interventions for severe chest injuries, and important patient outcomes were assessed.
- One significant study influenced the recommendations, leading to updates on surgical intervention criteria for blood loss and introducing new good practice points regarding video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for stable patients.
Background: The optimal management for spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) remains contentious, with various proposed approaches. This joint clinical practice guideline from the ERS, EACTS and ESTS societies provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of SP.
Methods: This multidisciplinary Task Force addressed 12 key clinical questions on the management of pneumothorax, using ERS methodology for guideline development.
