Objectives: Pulmonary artery stump thrombosis (PAST) following pneumonectomies/lobectomies is rare; its clinical importance is unknown. The objectives of this study were to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of PAST and the clinical significance in patients with pneumonectomy/lobectomy.
Methods: All adult cases who underwent pneumonectomy/lobectomy in our hospital for any reason and who underwent control contrast-enhanced thoracic CT during the follow-up period were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The fixation of the chin to the chest wall is a common technique to reduce tension after tracheal surgery, but it can cause several issues.
- In a study of five patients who had tracheal resection, retention sutures were used instead of the chin stitch, allowing for early mobilization and normal daily activities.
- Over an average follow-up of 14.4 months, no complications were observed, indicating that retention sutures are a safe and effective alternative that enhances patient comfort.
Background: An otherwise successfully performed endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) to treat palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) often has a serious side effect: compensatory sweating (CS). This side effect occurs in other parts of the body to a disturbing extent. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of ETS performed on patients with PH, and the occurrence and severity of postoperational CS.

- The study investigates how changes in weather conditions, particularly wind speed, connect to the occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax in the Eastern Black Sea region.
- Researchers analyzed data from 195 patients treated for spontaneous pneumothorax between 2006 and 2012, comparing these cases against meteorological data from the same period.
- Findings revealed that spontaneous pneumothorax incidents were more frequent on days with lower wind velocities, suggesting that people’s tendency to rest during calm weather may contribute to the increased incidence of this condition.
