Article Synopsis
- This treatment led to a serious complication, chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis and a complete left pneumothorax caused by an alveolar-pleural fistula from a ruptured lung cavity.

Article Synopsis
- This review examines various surgical and nonsurgical treatments for abdominal wall endometriosis to clarify optimal care options due to existing clinical uncertainty.* -
- A total of 51 articles were analyzed, involving 2674 patients, showing that surgical methods had the best local tumor control and pain relief, with a median local tumor control rate of 100%.* -
- Minor adverse events occurred in 17.5% of surgical cases and up to 76.4% with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), while severe adverse events were noted in 25 surgical patients.*
Purpose: To identify clinical, radiological, and angiographic characteristics associated with recurrent hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with lung cancer and severe hemoptysis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Materials And Methods: A total of 144 consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent BAE for life-threatening hemoptysis admitted in the ICU between 2014 and 2022 were retrospectively included. Demographics, laboratory values, clinical course, and radiological/angiographic features were compared between those with and without recurrent hemoptysis within 1 month after embolization.
Background: In older patients, medication exposure [i.e. polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), medications with anticholinergic and/or sedative properties] is a modifiable risk factor associated with cognitive iatrogenic risk and dementia.
