Treatment of Extreme Central Venous Occlusive Disease With Massive Esophageal Bleeding.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Central venous occlusions are common in the population of dialysis patients and develop as a result of arteriovenous access. Whereas these patients most commonly present with edema and varicosities, a rare presentation is esophageal varices. Here we present the case of a young man with life-threatening esophageal hemorrhage as a result of central venous occlusions, successfully treated with an azygos vein to right atrial bypass.

- The institution recently encountered two rare primary cardiac tumors, specifically hibernomas, within a few months.
- Hibernomas originate from brown adipose tissue and exhibit benign characteristics similar to lipomas, but they can appear aggressive on imaging tests, resembling sarcomas.
- The cases involved otherwise healthy patients who discovered these asymptomatic tumors incidentally during medical evaluations.
Machine learning models for temporally precise lapse prediction in alcohol use disorder.
J Psychopathol Clin Sci
October 2024
We developed three machine learning models that predict hour-by-hour probabilities of a future lapse back to alcohol use with increasing temporal precision (i.e., lapses in the next week, next day, and next hour).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Objective: The adoption of robotic surgery for general thoracic surgery has rapidly progressed over the last two decades from its application in basic operations to complex pathologies. As such, the purpose of this narrative review is to highlight the collective experience of tackling complex thoracic surgical operations with minimally invasive robotic solutions.
